    A Stripped Bolt Question With A Twist...

    I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out here. This isn't a B-Body specific issue, but it IS Mopar related. I am trying to drop the front driveshaft on my 2000 Dakota 4X4 to change out the U-joint, but have run into a giant snag. I'm posting here because I suspect I'll get more help...

    Water Temp Sensor Question…

    I’m trying to figure out… A.) Is this my water temperature sensor in the first picture? I believe that it is. B.) Does it go in the open hole in the second picture? Most pictures I’ve found show the temp sensor in different places. I have swapped engines from a non-Ho 383 to a built 440...

    Clutch Fork Pivot Installation...

    So, I did a 4-speed conversion on my '70 Satellite / RR clone, but because I really don't know what I'm doing, when gathering all the bits and pieces, I neglected to note that there was no clutch fork pivot installed in the bellhousing. I put everything together and installed the engine and...

    Gear Drive Installation Question...

    Firstly, my apologies for cross-posting on other forums, but I'm hoping that casting a wide net will find someone who can answer. I picked up a gear drive for the 440 in my Road Runner, but when I removed the timing cover, I found that the cam that is installed is a single bolt type with a...

    CNC Sill Plates?

    Just wondering - with the recent proliferation of CNC machining, does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes "custom" sill plates for a '70 B body? I have to get some for my project "birdible", and think it would be pretty cool if I could get something that is a step or two above the factory...

    '70 B-Body CNC Sill mPlates?

    I have to replace the sill plates in my '70 Satty to Superbird clone project, and was wondering if anyone knows of a company who offers nice (CNCed?) sill plates that could have a logo or "Superbird" stamped, engraved, etc. Has anyone had something like this done? I thought it might be kind of...

    1970 Satellite 4-Speed Conversion...

    Well, I have been following NJRR's thread on his conversion from an automatic to a 4-speed, found here: http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?70157-70-rr-4-speed-conversion-update I figured maybe I should start one of my own, since I'm doing almost the same thing to my...

    Clutch Overpsring Install Help...

    Forgive me for such a newbie question, but I'm stumped. I'm trying to convert from a 727 auto to a 4-speed in my '70 Satellite. I have a pedal set, but, for the life of me, cannot figure out how the clutch pedal overspring goes on. Here's what I have: The spring itself looks to be...

    Manual Vs. Power Steering...

    Hoping someone could throw out some help - I'm doing an engine / tranny swap in my '70 Satellite convertible, going from a 383 auto to a 440 4 speed. I had been thinking about ditching the power steering in favour of manual steering, and since I have the engine bay all open, I guess now would...

    K-Member Issue - One Last Question...

    As a follow-on question to this thread - http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?59006-K-Member-Question - I am wondering if I have to remove these bolts to finally drop the K-frame. I assume they hold the (lower control arm or something??) onto the K-frame, rather than...

    K Member Question...

    I'm sure this has been asked before - I did try a search first, but couldn't dig anything up, so here goes. I pulled my old 383 / auto combination out the top, and would like to install my 440 / 4-speed from the bottom by way of raising the engine/tranny combo up through the bottom on the...

    Repainting Headers...

    I have pulled the old, tired 383 out of my Satellite, and am contemplating re-using the headers for my 440 that's going back in. If I am not mistaken, I can use the same headers. My question is this: The headers are rusty, and I would like to clean them up and repaint them before putting...

    8 3/4 Rear End Question...

    I have a 1970 Satellite project. It's NOT a Sport Satellite, just a base model - but it DID come with a 383 (non-HP, I suspect), 727 transmission, and an 8 3/4 rear end with 2.76 gears. My question - is there any way to tell if this is a Sure-Grip rear end without removing and opening it up...

    '70 RR / Satty Engine Harness?

    I am pulling my 383 / 727 combo from my '70 Satellite and replacing it with a 440 / 4-speed. For the sake of simplicity, I'm thinking of replacing the engine wiring harness while I'm at it. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good replacement harness - preferably from the firewall...

    Late Model Chally Taillights In B-Bodies?

    I'm starting to see project Chargers with late model Challenger taillight assemblies like the one below. Just wondering - has anyone tried this on a 1970 Roadrunner? Thoughts? Photoshop experts?

    Dash Removal And Resto Thread?

    Hello, all! One of my winter projects this year is to remove, clean, restore the rallye dash of my '70 Satellite, as well as install a "tic-tock tach" that I picked up this summer. My problem? I'm clueless and have no real idea where to start, or how to proceed. To that end, I'm...

    Build Details From A VIN?

    So, my car, a 70 Satellite convertible, didn't come with a fender tag. I'm not stressed about that, because I have no "concourse restoration" aspirations or anything like that. I would, however, like to know what sort of options the car originally came with. Just wondering - I know that the...

    Grant Wheel Adapter Removal?

    Well, sorry to bug everyone, but I have yet another lame-*** newbie question. I'm trying to replace my old turn signal assembly in the steering column, and found a great link showing me how to go about it. The only problem is that once I get the steering wheel off, I'm faced with some sort...

    Front End Clunking...

    So, out for the first drive of the year yesterday, and by the time I got home, I had noticed a "clunk"-ing sound from the front end. I'm guessing it is steering related... sounded like it was coming from the front wheel area rather than further back. Can anyone point me to where I might...
