There was a guy I knew that imported a car like that black Valiant, his was blue. It was like you stated...from the windshield rearward it looked identical to a USA Dart except for the "Valiant" letters on the back. The fenders looked longer and had turn signals on the tops near the headlights...

The black-out is the original paint.

All diferent ECU's tested some for a race car some to run, some for the trunk. Prices in the pics with the number.

I haven't been on the site for some time -- I'll try to check in more often.

Sorry about that, got distracted on other issues.

If I'm not mistaken, the headliners (and the trunk divider) were flocked vs. paint. That's how they achieved that short fuzzy look. Spray headliner with glue, select the correct color flocking, liberally sprinkle the flocking on the glue, let dry, shake excess flocking off.

I kinda figured that too, I didn’t think it would start with ballast receptor in.

Thanks Ron.

And how do you know these housings cavitate? Is it because the engine overheats?

[1] Fitting on the intake runner. Use that for a vacuum device: brake booster, headlight door, heater vent door. NOT for PCV. Those rubber block off caps are notorious for cracking, causing air leaks. [2]. PCV. Might have been disconnected because it was gummed up. A working PCV will rattle...

If the coil is designed for use without a bal res, using a bal res with it will result in less spark energy. Silly move.

These are the Cobra twin 1.59" piston calipers, they are aluminum. The wheel clears the dust/grease cap just fine. There is more than 10 threads of the lugs to attach to. Bigger rotors give more leverage like a longer breaker bar does to crack a bolt loose. AF's book stated that the goal is to...

You only need large ring gaps with hypereutectic pistons. Is that what you used?

Kern, The two door black 'Dart' was just called a Valiant here & there were two models, VF & VG designations sold between 1969 & 1971. Biggest engine available was 318. These cars were ' left over' 1967-8 US Darts. The bodies, from the front windscreen back were shipped complete to Oz...

Are those the Cobra calipers? Manual brakes or power? It looks like you didn't have any trouble getting your center cap to clear the dust cap (?) on the spindle. It's interesting that you got that closed style of lug to work. It doesn't appear to be biting on many threads, but it's hard to...

It looks just like my 69 Dart.... Well, the grille and taillights anyway.
