For context, last year I had this problem. After many hours of sorting through everything, I found the signal switch wiring under the steering wheel to be the culprit. A wire that is riveted on came loose and touched another wire, causing the brake lights to stop working. A little solder and...

I might be in a situation where I have to sell my 1970 Plymouth Satellite. I'm just curious which forum I could post the specs and pictures and ask for a possible value for selling?

My 1970 Plymouth Satellite needs more fresh air to the engine compartment. I can't justify $2000+cad for a custom fibreglass hood. Below is a picture of the car, along with a close up of the hood, top and underneath. I love the A12 style scoop, but it wasn't used in 1970. I believe the Air...

My current setup has me rolling down the highway at 2900rpm. That's 60 miles/hour, or 100kms/hour here in the land of metric. This may be a dumb question, but how much harder would it be on the engine/driveline going 2900rpm for long distances, like 2-3 hours at a time, as opposed to lower rpm...

Hey guys. I've been away for some time, so I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum. My engine(440, Edelbrock AVS2 800) was built to run on Shell 91, which here in Canada had no ethanol until last year. This year my engines not been running well, and while there are ways to remove the...

I can only fit a 14"X2" air filter under my stock hood, and while it's doubtful that it's holding me back mechanically, I would certainly like more airflow and increased cooler air feeding the engine. Being it's a 1970 Plymouth Satellite, and essentially bone stock body except for the black...

Do bad things happen in 3's? My goodness, what next. A month ago it was another stamped steel rocker with a pushrod through it. Now It appears I've smoked my 727TF tranny. Went for a nice 20 mile drive yesterday. Kind of a shake down run. I'd finished the roller rockers, oil and filter change...

Got the new CompCams 1621-16 set in. Shafts with oil holes down. Proper .030" clearance between rockers(had to do some sanding), and hold down bolts torqued to factory spec 25ft/lbs. All left and right rockers in proper place. Valve clearance set, and preload done(at base circle). Then installed...

Punched another pushrod through a stamped steel rocker last Sunday. That's two in two years. Was looking at these: https://www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?browse=browse&level0=RC0gQmlnIEJsb2NrIChMb3cgRGVjayk=&level1=Um9ja2VyIEFybXMgJiBBY2Nlc3Nvcmllcw==&partid=26774 440 Edelbrock...

While cruising Sunday night, noticed grey smoke coming from my '70 Satellite. Pulled over, checked oil, and it was down a quart and a half. It was full the day before. I topped it up, and got it home. There was a puddle under the engine in the garage that must have happened when we left. Last...

Sorry guys, but I need you to bail me out again, lol. My 1970 Plymouth Satellite has never had a problem with any of the lights working. Last night a guy pulled up and said my brake lights weren't working. I pulled over and went thru the usual stuff. Nothing obvious. Got home, and got more...

Hey guys. So I've got an open thread in the steering section as I've just removed my steering column in order to detail it properly, rebuild the coupling, and figure out the lower column section in regards to supporting the steering shaft. While it's out(first time ever)I was thinking of doing...

Hey guys, can someone tell me what if anything is missing in these photos. I've read that there might be a bushing/bearing/seal that would normally sit in that opening to support the steering shaft and seal it from heat/smoke, etc working it's way up the steering column in to the cab. I'm...

A quick recap. The 440 I had built for my 1970 Plymouth Satellite 2 years ago has always had issues getting hot, especially when idling or moving very slowly. By hot I mean 215-220, which I have had to either pull out of heavy slow traffic or just pull over and shut it down and watch coolant...

In my 1970 Plymouth Satellite, I've got the 440 with the Performer RPM intake and an AVS2 800. With the stock Satellite hood, I could never have fit a full size 14"X3" air filter. I have to run a 14"X2", which just fits with the air cleaner stud poking slightly in to the hood insulation. The...

Now this engine was dyno'd with a Holley, although I don't know which unit. I've not had any issues with the Edelbrock I put on it, mind you as soon as the engine was in the car, I took it to a chassis dyno nearby and had them set up the new AVS2 800. He set it up and I've never had issues, but...

For the love of God, I can't seem to buy a break this driving season. I finally get home from out of town work, fix my leaking power steering box, and go for a Sunday night cruise, and I start getting smoke coming from my steering column. It's not constant, it came and went, and there was...

Hey guys. 2 months ago I blew the high pressure power steering hose. Couldn't find one in Canada, so ordered two from Summit. Backordered of course. Once they got here, I installed one and topped up the oil. I found the leak, and it's at the hose fitting on the steering box. I thought ok, a bad...

I've put over 1500 miles on since the 440 replaced the 318 in my 1970 Satellite, but this never happened until the other day. I got cut off in traffic, braked hard at 30mph, and the car pulled hard left. I had to fight to keep it in my lane. Never happened before. Now it pulls left everytime I...

So my steering has always been a little loose. This became more noticeable when the LA came out and the RB went in. Entire front suspension and steering components are new, and wheel alignment is fine. Tire pressure proper and equal. I was told there was an adjustment on the steering box. A set...
