Looks like nice paint and a beautiful body.

Nice to see another '72 "All in the Family" story. I found my parent's '71 Road Runner on Facebook only after I had purchased and restored a '72 Satellite Sebring Plus to "replace" it. Still have the Satellite and my restoration is under heading (search titles only): "Introducing Project...

Old school domed pistons I have were good for 12.5 to 1 compression. However, I'm hoping the de-stroking will lower this down to around 10 to 1. I do have two NOS old school Holley water injection units to help out if need be. The 904 slapstick automatic has a shift kit, the 8 1/4 2.71 rear end...

Correct, the 340 I was going to use for the 305 turned out to be .040 over, so I just built it for a "mule/test" motor while I obtained another 340 block that would accommodate either of my two sets of TRW pistons L2322F (which are standard and .030 over). Photo shows dome of a single .060...

This is the custom Cunningham 305 rod (6.298") I'll be using in my 305 project vehicle: Introducing "Project Odyssey" a 1972 "Super Satellite"

John Dianna raced a 305 to qualify for the NHRA class he wanted to participate in using a 1973 Duster.

The Mopar 305 is a rare bird indeed:

Makes sense to me:

Update: Just noticed this vehicle was built in May 1972 when I believe the fuel tank had a change in the vent system if I remember correctly. i know the replacement tank now installed has four vent lines at the front of the tank (but I'm not sure of the exact capacity of the fuel tank).

Update (for post #137): Finally removed the fuel sender float/pickup only to find the brass float I used to repair it a few years ago was full of gasoline. The pickup filter was wasted also. Replaced the float with a plastic version this time and replaced the filter screen. I re-used the rubber...

Not sure, but here in Mexico nothing that works is thrown out and broken stuff gets repaired.

Right, but my spouse is never gone long enough around here to permit such a thing (LOL).

Is this same/similar?:

That would be a good color. However, the recommended curing process is almost impossible to follow.
