RH23 for a base Satellite.

You would have to check the body numbers in trunk lip and on the cowl to make sure they match the vin. It smells fishy.

It says Satellite on the dash. The engine compartment and trunk should be body color, not balck. It has the base door panels from a Satellite.

Switch to a Sanden compressor. Way smaller.

Everything you need to rebody a satellite is right there. It it isnt already a rebody.

505ci stroker.

Binding. The window motor has limited power. It wont break your arm off if caught in the window while going up. Thats by design. If there is enough bind the window will just stop. Look for something binding up.

My 73 Charger. Lots of time and money in this ratty car. Yesterday I took it to the Fly and Drive show in Wickenburg AZ. It was very cold in the morning, in the 40's. Got there before sunrise. As the sun comes up you can start taking off layers. I was taking my coat back to the car, as I walked...

All I did to it today was enlarge the secondary side IFR. Then readjust all 4 mixture screws for the winter time tune up. It seems to help smooth out the clutch engagement a bit.

Actually with the PV number, it is all about manifold vacuum. A 10.5 PV will open when manifold vacuum drops to 10.5", and like wise a 6.5 PV wont open till manifold vacuum drops below 6.5". Fun stuff. High manifold vacuum = idle and cruise where the throttle is barely open, to low manifold...

The question mainly regards the secondary side idle circuit. This a 950 double pumper with four corner idle. Engine is 505ci, manual trans, 3.91 gear, cam is 234/240 duration 542/539lift. The engine runs smooth, no stumbles, pulls like a freight train. Idle AFR is low 13's, cruise is mid to...

I feel for you. I am from Chicago.

The B&M shifters are what I have been looking at. They are made to sit on there own small console or base. The Quicksilver, Hammer, and Star shifters.

I sent a reply to the seller saying this; "Rust free west coast cars are good project cars. This one has potential. But,... I can only go $2500 which is a fair realistic price. My plan is to make it a muscle rat. no body work at all. Let me know." Will he get annoyed or consider the offer...

Some say dont look at a restoration from the cost point of view, that is just plain stupid. My pockets, like 99% of the rest of the people are not overflowing with money. You must look at how much it will cost and be worth in the end. Throwing away $50k just to do a resto is stupid. I dont know...
