    Headers on stock 66?

    Want to install (and buy, if you have 'em) long headers in my 66 signet. 225, PS, PB (soon), stock trans and engine. For now I will be running them with the stock one barrel carburetor and intake. Down the road I would like to have a hyper Pak intake. What do I need to know? Will I have to use...

    Easiest electronic ignition upgrade?

    I have my 66 still running off points. I am looking for the easiest upgrade to electronic ignition, which should work well with my MSD 6AL. I see Pertronix has a $75 kit, is that what I need?

    Daydreaming about a super duper slant...

    I drive slow. I love underdogs and odd birds. For this, the slant is perfect for me. I want a bit more oomph but a bit more MPG as well. Please don't big down my happy slanty thread with V8 advice ;) My car: '66 Signet HT, black on black. Bucket seats, console shift. Soon to be upped with...

    FROZEN/STUCK low miles motor, HELP!

    I have a '65 that has been sitting here for a while, it used to crank 2-3 months ago but now won't budge. I pulled the starter, removed the head and right now it's had PB penetrating oil/spray soaking in the cylinders for 2 days. Any other ideas on freeing it up? Also, how am I supposed to use a...

    Rebuilt carb. Started but died. ??

    Put on my carb, freshly rebuilt. I can't get the darn thing to fire up! It did start and it ran for a couple minutes but now NOTHING. Crank and crank, nada. I tried resetting the idle mixture screw to recommended (seat, them 2.5 turns out). No dice. Also tried a few different steps with fast...

    Slant dies when put in gear.

    I have a '66 with a 225 /6, and it's a 904 trans. The thing recently started sputtering and dying when in gear- runs/revs fine when in neutral or park. I brought the idle set screw up (more gas) and that does not help, but if I take it down it just dies. I have a 1920 carb, and MSD 6AL ignition...

    MSD ignition installed, now I'm thinking transmission time?

    So I went to JEGS and bought the MSD 6AL box/coil kit, with BOSCH platinum plugs and new silicone wires, etc. I can honestly say, this is the most striking change I have ever seen in the performance of a slant six! (have had 3). It idles smooth, warms up quick, has even and reliable...

    Car: 1966 Valiant 225 /6 power steering, manual drum brakes OK so I need new brakes shoes, does anyone make a hi-performance drum brake shoe? I hate to have to spend the $ on swapping to discs with such a light little car. Here's a list of what I need; I'd like to know if there are good...
