70 RR/Satellite conv

[70LemonTwst]

A BIG HELLO to all you B body lovin' gasheads out there! I'm brand spanking new and dumb as the day is long. Appreciate any help that can be thrown my way as I tackle the ever growing list of projects on my fresh from the Internet, probably paid way to much on that car I wanted since I was a kid!

She's a 1970 Satellite originally born in Lemon Twist with 318/2bl automatic.
Now sporting a '68 440, Holley 950, 4-spd/A833 with the SureGrip. OH YEAH BABY!!

What is doesn't have is heat, radio, proper wiring harness....

Really looking forward to learning from this community.

Welcome from NJ. 70 RR/Satty droptop is my favorite Mopar. I've owned 3 !!!

If you want to go with the stock AM radio, a member just listed one for sale this week. As far as the heat goes, does it have a heater box? Coil? blower motor? Switches/selector?

Yo NJRR! Thanks for reaching out. My first car was a '74 Satellite, when this one came along I knew she had to be mine ;)

Heater - hearter box & core still in the car. I've order a replacement core, the control cables, blower motor and the heater box seal kit. Switches are still in the dash but no longer connected. Watched a couple vids on the youtubes on replacement. Of course those cars where already in pieces. I'm sure I'll be back to ask all the stupid questions when I start digging into it.

Radio - I'm likely to go with a vintage radio that includes bluetooth so I can jam my own personal collection of classic AC/DC, Johnny Horton & Tom Waits.

Stay safe out there & I'll check the forum for some shots of those sweet NJ Satellites. later

LOL. Good luck with that !!!!! I've only owned 1 at a time except for some overlap between buying and selling. When I had the second one in the wife's side of the garage, I was in the doghouse until I sold it !!!!
