    Part number question..

    I've got an A/C system that came with my 71 Satellite when I bought it. The car was not an A/C car, and this system was not installed, it came with the extra parts. I would like to know if it's an OEM original A/C that was in these cars in 71. I installed an aftermarket system so I don't need it...

    1971 Satellite Fuse Diagram

    Having a little issue with my lights. I'm checking the fuse block and getting no power to the lamps fuse, either side. In the process I went ahead and pulled the fuse and it broke. It says it's a 5amp. My question would be is that the correct size? Does anyone have a diagram of the fuse block...

    545RFE Problems

    Bottom line is it won't turn the tires. I have a 71 Satellite that I've put an 04 5.7 hemi and a 545RFE. I have a harness from hotwire and they flashed the computer. The linkage works and selects the gears. I know it is seeing something because it will not start out of park. I found a thread...

    Anyone going to the Street Machine Nationals in June?

    This is a yearly thing my son, a buddy, and myself do. We make the drive from the DFW area in Texas over to IL. I've been going for the last 6 years. 4 of those years we didn't take a car. The last 2 we've taken my buddy's 56 chevy. My goal is for my 71 Satellite to make it this year. It's a...

    WTB 2003 or 2004 5.7 hemi parts

    Pretty much about at the end of my rope. I messed up and bought an engine several years ago without all the accessories on it. Won't ever happen again. Now all the bolts and brackets are proving impossible to find. Anybody that has or knows of accessory bolts and brackets that came off if a...

    Really Didn't Think Bolts Would Be This Much Trouble..

    I'm in the build up stage of a resto mod on a 71 Satellite. I'm using a 5.7 hemi from an 04 Ram 1500. For whatever strange reason finding bolts for the alternator and the compressor is proving to be much harder than I would have ever imagined. Haven't even tried for the power steering pump...

    Torque converter question.

    I'm trying to make sure of the correct stall I need. I've done a fair amount of research and it looks like 2800 to 3200. I'm leaning more to the 2800 for gas mileage reasons if I'm understanding them correctly. Here's the info. 1971 Satellite. 04 5.7 hemi 545rfe 355 gears 295 20 tires Comp...

    Hotchkis Torsion Bars

    I've installed a set of Hotchkis torsion bars. I don't have the motor in. Is it normal for the upper control arms to be sitting on the rebound bumper on both sides? The upper control arms are tubulars from firm feel. The shocks are not installed. Thanks for any info.

    1971 Satellite with 2004 5.7 Hemi and 545rfe trans

    I'm in the mid to later stages of this build. As the title says I'm using a 5.7 Hemi from a 2004 Ram with a 545rfe. I've already ordered my wiring harness from hotwire and they have my ECU for flashing. I have the motor mounts, oil pan, headers, radiator, etc. The suspension is done, brakes are...

    Seat belt problem..

    It's not really a huge problem yet, but I'm trying to figure out seat belts for this project. I'm on the build up side of a 1971 satellite. I'm putting in Chrysler 300S seats. Already tackled the mount problem with adapter plates we fabricated. My question is concerning seat belts. I would like...

    SOLD 1971 B Body Bucket and Rear Seats

    I'm selling a set of Bucket and Rear Seats from a 1971 Plymouth. I have been told that they have 1970 only hinge covers so there is some doubt as to the year of the seats, but the frames bolt into and match the floorpan slants of a 1971 which is what they came out of. They were newly recovered...

    1971 Satellite 545RE Install Question

    I'm installing a 5.7 hemi from a 2004 pickup into my Satellite. I'm using the 545RE trans. My question is for anyone that has done this before, how much cutting did you have to do in the tunnel to make it fit. I've cut the tunnel and have the trans clearing in the front part, but the tail cone...

    how much rubber can I use?

    Looking at ordering wheels and trying to figure out size. I'm doing resto mod so going bigger and wider. Would like to know what size folks on here are using and if modification was needed what they had to do to make them work. Appreciate any and all info. Thanks in advance.
