- Part 6: Getting our Plymouth Valiant one step closer to being back on the road, working through a few issues, but in the end it only took a warm day and time to get this '62 Signet 200 running again, after a few decades.
We love this little early a-body Mopar we pulled from a barn at a junkyard.

slant 6, can't kill them, one of the most reliable engines ever designed
After daily driving my '61 Valiant for EIGHT straight years, with only 145,000 miles on it, the 170 /6 put a window in the side of my engine block going 35 MPH on my way home from work with NO warning. No knocking, no nothing. Just, BOOM!
As a teen in High school a good friend had a 63. Man the hours we had cruising in that car...
I had a 61 4door. Dad had it then I had it then my brother had it then a friend had it. What a great car.
Lucky man, Beautiful car.🥰
Thank you very much.
Amazing how nice the seats are, even if the floors is terrible. Nice seats are so rare is "finds".
Recalls my father driving his used Valiant wagon, with that push button transmission, back in 1973...
Wonderful cars the Slant 6 was an attempt to put a Big 6 cylinder motor in a small Car it worked well it was really a Truck motor that could spin and could drive at 90 mph all day i did this going from LA to Las Vegas and San Francisco a number of times and was OK on gas for the 1960s and 70s
Nice to see your daughter interested in the car...
Wow- a coupe in good shape!
as a mechanic in the early 70`s i loved working on slant 6 Chryslers .. i could change out an engine in about an hour and never have to go under the vehicle .. every fastener could be removed from the top ..
My first car was a 62 Valiant. Had a bad motor. I replaced it with a 225. Three on the tree changed to on the floor. Fun car!!!!
On the floor is always more fun, 3 or 4 speed!
I like those years and I like the station wagons with 3 on the column
Your 71 Dart was beautiful. That car shape sold in the South Africa as the Valiant Regal.
the trick to removing plugs in tight spaces is to use a length of 3/8 rubber fuel line as a swivel extension...granted the threads allow. 3/8 fuel line typically fits over the plug end like a spark plug boot.
My older brother had one of these cars. I always loved the unusual design of the body. Very Cool
Agreed.
Nice old Plymouth ❤
Cool car haven't seen one in that great of shape and a two door in a long time.
Good job getting it running and driving.
Thanks 👍
I haven’t seen that body style in years i’ll say one thing though slant sixes they run forever in that 70s Dart was a beautiful car
I had a 1962 Dodge dart with the same slant motor, it is a beauty to work on that engine.
We have a 62 Dart as well, a tone of work in rust repair but worth it.
I hope your daughter gets to take it to work..it fits her👍🏾
She would like to take it to school! If it is gone, you know who took it!
Nice Dart! My dad had a 1962 valiant. We use to travel to Pennsylvania twice a year in it.
That has a great sounding starter!
NO it does not!!
I love the cars you pick! I had a Canadian built, titled a 1964 Plymouth Valiant, it was, 1/2 Dodge Dart from front doors back, 1/2 Plymouth Valiant Hood and front fenders, { It also was a right hand drive, wish I had it today! } slant six, 4 door Black with red interior. I got all sort of looks while driving that car. I bought a lot of cars back in the 60's, ? 200 dollar cars, 58 Dodge, 61 Plymouth, 54 Plymouth, 48 Dodge, ect ect ect. Packed them in old barn my dad had. Made money on most, sold parts, I didn't have skills to work on them much. But your cars brought back memories. Thank you! I watched every episode.
Wow, some great cars you had over the years. We have a '58 Dodge as well. Canadian cars were a mix of Plymouth/Dodge, I don't recall why, but made for some interesting cars. We just picked up another car today!
can't wait to see the build...
My first car was a 62 Valiant 100 4dr.
My go to tool for cutting rubber hose is PVC cutters...makes life so easy.
So very true, I think I knew that at some point and it was pushed out of my brain.
My first car $50 was a 66 Belvedere with a slant six in the 70's. When it hit the 20 belows all the new cars in the neighborhood would not start. The ol' slant six fired up on the second crank. I'd drive around and jump everybody. On a windy snowy night i'd have to shovel the car out, literally. I'd open the door and the snow would be over the seat up to the wheel. Aw..... college those were the good old days, eh? (NOT).
Disconnect the battery positive cable and hook up an ammeter to the clamp and post. See if there's a drain. If so, disconnect the alternator positive lead. If the drain drops, it's the alternator. Hook up an ohmmeter to the alternator positive terminal and case and see if the reading is high and reverse the leads and see if it's low. If so, the diodes are good. Set the ammeter for ma and check for a parasitic drain with the test leads hooked up to the battery positive clamp and post. If so, pull fuses. If the drain drops, there's a drain. Check for blown fuses. With the alternator positive lead hooked up, disconnect the field terminal and hook up a jumper from the positive terminal to field terminal. Start the engine. See if the voltage reading reads 15 at the battery indicating that the alternator brushes are good. If not, it's the regulator. Check a repair manual to make sure the information is correct. A Holly 1945 and 1946 can be used. One has the remote choke and the other has the choke on the exhaust manifold. The remote choke is on a Ford 3.3 -200 1983 Marquis. The water pump has 2 gaskets. There's a clear fuel filter. The needle valve is external. Remove the filter and line. Unscrew the needle valve. Fuel will come out. Screw the new one in. You may can get Champion N16Y plugs. The bands are adjustable after removing the pan. There may be a kickdown adjustment.
😁Now that car, has personality! 👍
We think so too!
That is cool car I like it
I can't hear it at max volume.
Cool car
Thank you! Great little driver.
Hope cleaned holes before out!!
Brakes are good.
During an era where Detroit was putting together some of the most strikingly beautiful cars ever to hit the road......
I think they put together this car as a cautionary tale.
As if to tell us..... Be thankful, we can build really ugly s*** too.
If this car were my pet dog, I would shave his butt and teach him to walk backwards.
These plugs and distributors were not easy to work on. Beautiful engines.
So it is not just me, thank you.
The distributor gear may be plastic.
Pushing the inside door handle forward and down locks it.
Found that out a while back, just push it forward, who knew? Not us! Makes you wonder if all cars should work that way.
I want to buy one is the Dodge for sale . I am in Australia had one in 1970 would love another one
Man speak up u'r giving me a woody !!
FYI, slant 6 is 1/2 of a Hemi.
Must have missed the 12 cylinder hemis.. damn
Por el sonido que tiene Regula las valvulas
I had a 62 and I could push start it at 15 mph it would start up
Limpia las Bujias y fijate que yengan chispa y controla el punto y limpia el carvurafor y no le des arraque por si noma mira el distrivuidor y sus platinos y demas conponentes espero le sirva suerte y va de vuena onda
O yea it was automatic pusd button
Is it just me, or are most low mileage cars......Green?💚
Not sure, but green cars rule!
The audio was terribly low, almost like you were mumbling to yourself!
it's screaming for a 360 and 727 automatic, an 8 3/4 rear with a 3.55 suregrip.
The problem is, I think you're right, some days.
