I posted this exact thing in my build thread (http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/a-proper-intro.112011/) with no replies. I figure someone might have some better ideas here. On the topic of sway bars.... I'm looking at either ADDCO reproductions from Classic or the more expensive...

Four days from today last year I got my 1972 Satellite and another four days from that I joined this site. Even though I posted in the Welcome Wagon I don't feel like I ever properly introduced myself or explained all the work I've done in the past year. So here goes. I'll try to include as many...

A friend of mine doesn't have an account on this forum and is looking for some doors. Let me know what you have and I'll put you through to him. Thanks!

I would like to add an air grabber to my 72 satellite. No, I'm not making it a roadrunner clone, just making it the way i like it. Basically, I don't have the money for the full kit...

I've heard that there is some sort of cover/box or something you can put an optima in to make it look like a classic mopar factory battery. Anyone know anything about it/where to buy one?

I'm rebuilding my 440 right now and went with an Edelbrock top end kit. The builder who did my machine work recommended 80 wall pushrods so I called Edelbrock and asked for a length. I was told 9.125" so I ordered some from Jegs (http://www.jegs.com/i/Manley/660/25928-8/10002/-1). Now that I...

Hi FBBO, My 72 Satellite was originally an A/C car. The A/C is no longer on the car and I would like to have the fresh air vents that non A/C cars have. The logical process for this would be to replace my A/C box with a heater box which has the vent. However, on the cowl there is no opening to...

I'm looking for a K frame for my 72 Satellite. A 440 will be going into the car. All of the prices I have seen are over $300 and I am on a budget so something less expensive but still structurally sound would be perfect.

I'm rebuilding my motor home 440 so I can have some more power and torque. I've pretty much decided on Edelbrock's top end kit for heads, a cam, an intake, and a timing chain. The short block will be 440source's 440>>>440 kit which includes a forged crank, forged pistons, and rods. The block...

Hi all, What are good compression test numbers for a 1973 motor home block 440? Also, what would be considered bad numbers? I would like a rough range to see where I fall when I get around to doing my test. Also, how would a wet test change the numbers from a dry test? Thanks!

I'm looking for a 1972 rallye dash tachometer, as the title suggests. I know Classic Industries sells a repro one but I've heard that its a cheap plastic PoS.

Hi all, I currently have a motorhome 440 in my '72 Satellite. I would like to pull the engine and do a rebuild to get some real power. I'm looking to build a daily driver so I need to be able to run on pump gas, however, I want the famed power of a 440; able to roast tires without any trouble...

Does anyone know if this kit comes with everything necessary to get a functioning Air Grabber on my 72 Satellite? I know it is missing the vacuum canister but I found one and that's the second link...

BF Goodrich Radial T/As vs Goodyear Eagle GT IIs vs Cooper Cobras vs Firehawk Indy 500s I have 275 60 r15 Goodyear Eagle GT IIs on the back of my 72 Satellite and 275 60 r15 Cooper Cobras on the front. I will be getting 235s up front but right now other parts take priority. The car came with...

I've searched everywhere and I cannot figure out the proper term for the braces which go from the inner fender to the firewall. What are they called and where can I get some? Here is a picture: http://ralphsrapidtransit.com/RRGTX-6.jpg

I'm experiencing some oil leaks mainly originating from my rear main seal. There are some other random drips in different areas as well. In addition, I've been told that when I let off the gas my Satellite blows a bit of smoke. This leads me to believe that my piston rings aren't in the best...

So yesterday I took my Satellite out for a drive and floored it from a dead stop. Luckily this was on a dead end road. Long story short, I think the rear right axle broke. The drive shaft still spins but the car won't move. If I jack up the rear end, I can pull the rear right tire in and out a...

Hi everyone. I'm working on a 1972 Plymouth Satellite and I'm having troubling getting the rear running lights working. The turn signals and brake lights work so I know the lights are getting power. The backup lights do not work but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Has anyone had...

A close friend of mine is helping me out a lot with the work on my 1972 Satellite. He is a big Mopar fan. He restored and drives a 1970 Duster and has a bunch of other cars in the works. Does anyone have any clever ideas for a good gift to give him to say thanks for the tremendous help?

A few days ago I bought a 1972 Plymouth Satellite as my first car. Today I found this forum and figured it would be helpful to make an account in case I need some help. She came out of the factory with a 318 and somewhere along her life got a 440. I'd love to answer any questions anyone has.
