1973 Plymouth Valiant review from North America
"New imports never see it coming"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front windshield started to leak causing headlight switch to rust.
Replaced wiper arm sockets.
Alternator wiring is for a 30 amp output originally. All new alternators are 60 amp causing wires to burn.
General comments?
This motor is built like a tank and is known to be indestructible. I have never had any engine problems mechanically and I have since upgraded the carburetor to a two-barrel setup. This made the car very fun to drive.
It also handles extremely well on 15x8 inch rims and tires.
The paint still looks great after 30 years and has no rust at all.
