    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    It's been a while so I can't recall my cable sizes off hand but I believe I was conservative and went a little larger than necessary. A hot starter sounds plausible. I have a mini starter and TTI headers. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this combination. Perhaps I need to wrap my headers?

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I have noticed that if I try to restart my engine immediately after driving it doesn't want to start. The starter isn't continuously turning the motor. It's almost as if I have a dead battery. The longer I wait the better it is. To me this indicates vapor lock. Would you guys agree? I...

    71 Charger Superbee Tribute/Restomod Build

    I like the look of the pedal covers but I found them to be a bit slick especially when wet in my 09 challenger. The third brake light is a nice touch.

    Collection of Parts for 392 Swap

    I trimmed down the back of mine so it would sit lower. The tunnel is narrower than the modern challenger. It also allows you to use the side mounting holes. I installed some rivnuts in the tunnel at the front and into the bracket at the rear. The front was more difficult to figure out. I...

    First attempt restomod 1968 charger

    Ditto on what 70Chall440 said. He's been a big help on my build. Take a look at a couple build threads here on the forum. At the very least it'll give you some ideas. Also start putting together a budget. You don't want to get too far into it and then realize you don't have the funds to...

    Collection of Parts for 392 Swap

    I like your shifter adapter. I need to redo mine. It's in a great position for shifting, but it hits cups in the cup holder. I can't quite decide how I want to fix it though. Raising it up higher will make it too high for my tastes. I might have to switch to a ball shifter, but I love the...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    Ok, yeah those are the style that are on the canister side. I've managed to keep them mostly intact. I'm guessing the PO wasn't as careful with the ones on the tank.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    Fair point, but there weren't any on the old tank and never had an issue. Plus they're just vents, so there shouldn't be any pressure, but obviously that's not the case.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    So if you recall a few posts earlier I was having issues with my fuel vapor tank and my fuel tank puking gas. I ended up taking it off and just routing the lines into the fender with nothing on them. Today I filled the tank up (over 20 gallons) got home and it did the same thing. This time I...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I'm worried about that. Every time the timing was checked, it was perfect, but still making a lot of noise.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I have Dr Diff's true trac II so it's different than a sure grip. No clutches, so I'm not sure that it would help.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    No, the limited slip doesn't call for it. The diff shop does add some Lucas Oil Stabilizer though.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    It's a 489 case 8-3/4. I bought all the parts from Dr. Diff and brought them to the shop for installation. The next two times, the shop bought their own gears and bearings.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    He told me, but it's been different every time. He tried to buy quality parts. First set was Dr. Diff.

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    So no surprise, but the rear end is singing again, now on its third set of gears (and bearings). This time it's mostly on coasting, but it's noisy at other times as well. I essentially paid a shop to do it twice. The third time they covered the cost, but they obviously can't get the job done...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    The diff shop checked out the rear and everything looked fine, but obviously it wasn't. They put a new set of gears in and all new bearings. Let's hope it holds this time. I had a new problem later in the day though. My tank vent lines were puking fuel. As soon as I popped the fuel cap it...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I figured out the weird noise was my exhaust had shifted and was touching my suspension mounts. Easy fix, but on the test drive the rear end started roaring under load. I only went for about 5 miles, but when I got home the rear end was very hot. I opened up the fill plug and smoke started...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I got everything put together on the switch. It's in a nice spot where I can reach it, but not see it. Now that the radio is in and all the pieces are working, that's the end of what I wanted to do initially with my swap. I've still got plenty to do, but it's something crossing off the...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I bought a cheap switch for my antenna. Now when the antenna fails to deploy, I toggle the switch on and off and it works. I can also lower the antenna when I'm only using maps or streaming from my phone and don't need it. I found a spot under the dash next to the steering column to hide it...

    72 Satellite Gen III Hemi Restomod

    I got the car back from the AC shop today. They created custom lines for me and charged the system. Now I just need to wait for a hot day to test it. It has also come to my attention that there should be a clip to hold the mixing valve cable to the lever arm on the HVAC arm. I'm not one of...
