well, it definitely has the Holley cast on the front of it,
and let me tell you some more,
My bro had a friend that had a DUI and needed some money fast, so for 500 my bro got this valiant, the first thing my bro did, after he got the car is tow it to my house and said, get it running, so i had it for 3 weeks and know nothing of it before that, so
i did the whole tune up, (it wouldn't start cus timing was really off) so i fixed that, set the idle speed, mixture and timing to 10BTDC.
then i noticed the brake pedal would go to the floor when i pressed on the pedal, so a caliper, disks and pads later that's fixed too.
then i drove to the gas station to fill it up and noticed gas leaked too fast out of the gas tank (the hose from the tank to the metal line was ripped to shreads, SCARY), so i fixed that.
now, my drives around the block are careful, so that's the first thing i noticed from the drive.
anyways, It could have been sitting for years before i got it, I just dunno!!! and don't want to spend too much more money from what i already put in, i already put in $500 for a $500 car and still need to fix the muffler!!!
not complaining just giving you more info
thanks for the help
