Chrysler Valiant FAQs

Confidence trickle

THERE'S little that can go wrong if you use a trickle charger that's designed to maintain the battery at the fully charged level and not keep charging it. If left on charge for a long period without a function, a battery can explode.

Put the brakes on a rattle

ACCORDING to Valiant expert Des Seaton, loose brake calipers are the most likely cause. Also check the lower shock absorber bolts and make sure they are tight.

Metric switch

IN THE 1970s you could buy a sticker and apply it to the instrument face or the gauge itself to convert it to read metric, but they haven't been produced since demand fell away in the mid-1970s. If the speedo in the Valiant has a flat face it can be reprinted with a metric scale, or it might be possible to correct the speedo without touching the face by installing a ratio box in the speedo cable. To find out what you can do with the Valiant, call Rodger Howard at Howard Instruments on 9457 4755.
