We've had these 2 for 25-30 yrs and have done a fair amount of repairs on them to keep them working. Found both through a now-defunct employee weekly classified listing. Paid $350 for the X's & O's game and $500 for the Eight Ball Deluxe.
The water pump housing had an external leak on the driver's side at the block a few years ago. I pulled the pump housing and timing cover and replaced all the gaskets and the timing set. Not a lot of miles on it since then, but it's possible that it let go again.
Took my '01 Dakota R/T out to run some errands. Shortly after leaving my 1st stop, the Check Guages light came on. Temp gauge was near, but not past, the hot indicator then started rising so I pulled off at the next side street and shut it off. Truck had been running fine up to this point...
I don't have good pics of mine handy, but I had an exhaust shop install the tips because my mail order tail pipes didn't line up with the tip mount points correctly. They adjusted the whole exhaust system then cut and rewelded the pipes behind the axle to correct their alignment before...
I installed a set of the non-adjustable "Green" bearings when I restored my Satellite based on a friend's recommendation. The rest of the rear was, and still is, original - 742 case, 3.23 sure-grip. The rear end "clunked" when turning afterwards. The bearings started making noise at highway...
I missed the part about this being in reference to CA built cars since it wasn't in the original post and I saw another post referring to all 67's. Mine are St.Louis cars. Definitely no CAP provisions on the breather or air cleaner. Don't know about cars from the LA factory.
Don't know if my 383 Satellites would be the same as a 440 GTX, but neither of my 67's have a nipple on the breather cap. 383, 4bbl, dual snorkel ac built in Jan 67. 383 2bbl, single snorkel built in Apr 67.
$5k sounds low, but depends on machine shop costs in your area - they are expensive here.
I am redoing my previously rebuilt 383 now. R&R pistons. Block already bored 0.030, but needs honed for new pistons. Crank already cut 10/10 will get balanced and polished. Valve job and chamber equalizing...
Quick update...it took me a while to find a machine shop in the area that I trusted with my engine. Was talking with some coworkers and got a referral to a shop about 45 min south of me. The guy that runs it is a drag racer that is well known in the Mustang community, but his shop works on all...
I converted my 67 Satellite to DOT 5 during its resto in 1990. I replaced all rubber components and flushed any lines I reused with denatured alcohol as that was the guidance I got at the time. Zero issues with it and haven't had to touch the brakes in 35 yrs other than replacing the rubber...
I drove the blue 67 Belvedere daily for a few years while I restored my Satellite. It had been hit front and rear and was repaired with parts off a 66 at some point. It wasn't pretty but it was dependable.
I had this 67 Satellite for a few years in the 90's. Every piece of sheet metal was rusted, but it was a big block car. I got it running and drivable enough to drive it to a friend's house where I parked it until I stripped and junked it. Technically salvageable but not worth the time and $.
