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...

I'm finishing up the Classic Auto Air installation in my 71 Satellite. Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop to get it charged up?
I'm in Azle Tx just outside of Ft Worth.
Thanks

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...
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...
I have converted to 4 wheel disks. Having troible getting them to work. At this point I'm really looking for a recommendation on someone to talk to or take it to in the Ft Worth Tx or Weatherford Tx area. Recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks
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...
I'm finally at the point to get the front end alignment done. Also need to look at the height adjustment.
Can anyone recommend a shop in the DFW area?
Thanks

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...
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...
I've done a search and haven't found any info.
I'm working on a 71 Satellite and I plan to delete the two inner headlights. Anyone been there and done that? Would like information on what headlight used and if there is a wiring harness available.
Thanks

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

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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
