    Lights Dim at Idle

    I solved that on my 67 Satellite by rewiring my headlights to draw directly off the battery using relays. I did that to eliminate the common concern of overloading the aging wiring. The bonus was that the stock headlights are now much brighter, and I get very little dimming at idle. I am running...

    1967 convertible quarter glass track missing?

    Just a clarification for anyone still looking at this post, the track in the first photo is installed upside down. The curved end should be at the bottom.

    This is PP1 red. It was called bright red in 1967.

    Garage Floor Finish

    Option 1 is what is normally done when pouring a garage floor. It will be smooth and shiny (the sealer is only applied to help the concrete cure properly), but will do nothing to prevent oil stains. Option 2 is really 2 options...you can just use epoxy paint (after proper prep), or the ones that...

    So… in 2025, what’s the best electronic ignition conversion?

    I've used the Pertronics kits on my 68 426 Hemi and on my current 67 Satellite 383. Easy to install, and looks fairly stock. To keep the original look, I soldered a wire into the back of the firewall resistor, so you can leave it where it is. It's not required on the Pertronics system. Some...

    EFI Conversion Kit

    Here's a shot of the completed Holley Sniper system in my 1967 Satellite. I went with the complete package (Sniper EFI, new fuel tank w/ electric pump, Hyperspark distributor, coil & ignition box). It looks fairly stock with the breather installed, except for the visible fuel pressure gauge. You...

    Best thermal and sound insulation for floor and headliner

    I first installed a layer of Nudura self stick butyl waterproofing membrane, and then added the Siless 157 mil reflective membrane from Amazon over that. This made a noticeable difference in both sound and heat transfer through the floor.

    Looking to identify this Plymouth radio

    Same radio I had in my 1968 Road Runner. Could have been used in later years, but 1967 Plymouth radio had round knobs.

    Brake pedal too low after manual drum to power disc conversion

    The brake pedal is purposely lower with power brakes so you can apply the brakes with your heel still on the floor. That gives you better control for smoother stops. Wouldn't it be easier to rejig the brake light switch so it contacts properly?

    Tie down question when Trailering

    I have been using this exact method to tie down my 68 Road Runner when traveling to out of town shows. It's the only way to completely eliminate contact between the straps and paint on any underbody parts.

    Ammeter not reading zero

    I have a similar problem where the ammeter always reads high on the charge side. I have an EFI conversion with electric fuel pump that was wired directly to the battery as per manufacturer instructions. So based on your comments, can I assume there is nothing wrong with my charging system? My...

    Bypass Ballast Resistor

    Very simple... for a Pertronics conversion, just remove the resistor, solder in a solid insulated wire from one terminal to the other in the back side, then re-install. That will maintain the stock look. Make sure you replace your coil with one compatible with a 12 volt system.

    Holley sniper timing question

    The timing can go as high as 50* with vaccuum advance when cruising (not on the throttle). 38* is good at WOT, but there is no vaccuum at that point.

    Restoring 67 Satellite Instrument Cluster

    Thanks, that worked for me. I have removed the lens....now to polish it. Did you use a sanding block for wet sanding, or just your fingers?

    67 Satellite Vent Window

    The upper pivot on the right vent window is broken. I found an nos one, but it didn't include the little shaft that fits into the chrome frame. Is that suppossed to be a part of the frame? See photos.

    Restoring 67 Satellite Instrument Cluster

    I am restoring the instrument cluster in my 1967 Satellite. Does anyone know how to remove the lens so I can polish or replace it? It looks like there are plastic rivets that are melted at the top to hold it in place.

    In search of some B body seat track info

    You might already have this figured out...I just rebuilt the bucket seat tracks on my 1967 Plymouth Satellite, so I measured them. The outside track is exactly 1" higher than the inside track. That dimension is the same at the front and back of the track.

    Acceptable Battery Charge Volt Range -- 15.5 too high?

    Not sure I agree with that. The alternator will easily put out 15 to 16 volts, which is normal. The regulator controls the voltage, so I would think you either have defective regulator(s), or perhaps a bad ground on the regulator or elsewhere in the charging system.

    Holley sniper Hyperspark location suggestions

    I mounted the coil on the inner fender, and the ignition box on the rad support (to keep it cool) behind the grille. 1967 Satellite 383.
