Yeah, what he said

That's beautiful.

Love to see some pics of the finished seeting project.

Thanks. I'm glad I got it home too. Much appreciation to ll who helped last night.

PM on the way, so now I need to come up with a carb.

Yeah, I'm looking for intake and carb on the cheap. Like I said, I'm gonna hit the junk yard LKQ has a u-pull-it location about 5 miles from me, so I'm hoping I can find some usable stuff. At some point in the not to distant future I want to throw headers and exhaust at her. Long term goals...

Thanks Rusty. Any thoughts on the 318 4bbl intake

Actually two questions... Will any 340-360 small block drop into my 72 Satellite? Or do I have a range of years to choose from? Same question for 318 intake manifolds. I want to drop a 4bbl on mine, and I'm hoping to find something usable in the junk yard. Do I need to stay in a range of...

The neutral safety switch went out on it, so I'll be back up under there sooner rather than later. I probably have 60 or so miles on it since the change. Seems like I'm "supposed" to flush it now!!

Thanks everybody. I took care of this on on Wednesday. Convertor did have a drain plug. Drained the whole mess out, looked like a pink milk shake. Flushed the radiator and block with water, new t-stat, new trans cooler. Drained the trans and convertor, and left it open for a good hour to...

That did the trick!! I got her home. Really glad the breakdown was only a quarter mile from home. I didn't mention before I also have a flat tire. Being so close and on steel wheels I just did the death walk. I do have to ask the stupid question though. I'm struggling to understand what it...

Thanks everybody. I found it in the wiring diagrams of the manual.

Thanks daredevil. Don't mean to be a pain in the A$$, but can you give a connector description? ALL of the wires under my hood are brown, greasy.

I had to leave my 72 Satellite (318/auto) on the side of the road for the night. Car was running fine, but I was having trouble getting it to turn over throughout the day. I cycled the trans and it would fire. On my way home, it stalled (bad fuel filter?). I had to cycle the trans again to...

Will this take care of the torque convertor too? If the above suggestion will not work by itself, what do I need to do in order to drain the convertor? Pull it? Hopefully I can use the above suggestion to flush the transmission system. Same question for the block. The radiator should drain...
