Posting this in electrical as not sure if it’s something to do with the ignition or not. Swapped the inlet manifold gasket recently as was having issues with lack of power and took it for a test drive the other day and it worked perfectly. Have tried to drive it this weekend and every time it...

Hi, i’ve recently replaced the inlet manifold gasket in my satellite as it was having power issues and thought this was why. it’s got loads more power now and is running happier but it’s making a tapping noise from the passenger side. I thought maybe it was the exhaust manifold gasket but i...

Hi, I've been struggling with my '73 Satellite for a few weeks trying to get it to run right because at the moment it just isn't. Drove it a few weeks ago and it had such little power and kept wanting to cut out when the revs were low. It has a 4bbl edelbrock, I've messed with the mixture screws...

I've grown up working on old cars but electrics has always been something I've struggled a bit with - my '73 Satellite really takes this to heart and tries to give me loads of problems to work on to get better at it :rolleyes:. I had an issue last year where it would run at 15-16V when I was...

I recently swapped over the master cylinder on my '73 Satellite. Had just done this on my '76 C10 so didnt look into how to do it because assumed it'd be the same so didn't consider the proportioning valve and the brake light has been on ever since. The brakes bled fine when I did the swap and...

I'm missing the horn relay in my 73 satellite and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on where is best to get one? Tried roseville moparts but the shipping was going to be more than the relay itself (im based in the uk) and $90 seemed a bit much. Just struggling to find somewhere...

Hi I want to get new leaf springs for my 73 satellite to give it more lift. I live in the uk but have a friend who is importing a truck so want to bring them over in the back of that. I found these ones but was wondering if anyone's used them before and knows if they're good or if anyone has any...

I changed the calipers, discs and pads on the front of my 73 satellite yesterday and bled the brakes and it seemed fine today. Drove it for about an hour and a half in total and then the brake warning light on the dash came on. I’ve since bled the brakes again at the front and tried bleeding...

Hi, One of my doors on my 73 Satellite locks from the outside but not the inside and i was wondering if anyone knows which bit im supposed to attach the inside lock latch to? i have a manual for a 70 but it’s confused me a little bit and not sure if maybe the door lock mechanisms are different...

Hi, please could someone give me some help/advice with the heater on my '73 Satellite? The air only comes out of the vents no matter what setting I have it on. When I turn it to vent or AC it comes out of the vents stronger, but when I have it set to DEF it only comes out of the vent and not on...

would I be able to put a fuel tank from a 70 fury in my 73 satellite? the tank on my satellite has been modified with a new fuel outlet added at the bottom of the tank, looks a bit bodged with some putty like stuff round the outlet that’s started leaking. my dad has the 70 fury which isn’t on...

Hi, my car isn’t turning over anymore, I’ve not been able to get it started yet since I imported it a few weeks ago but it has previously been turning over but now it won’t anymore. I took the starter off and checked that and it seems absolutely fine and will turn over when cables 1 and 2 are...

The drivers door on my ‘73 satellite is stuck, it will open a little bit but seems like it’s stuck on the latch maybe, does anyone have any ideas of what it could be or what I could do to get it opening? Just imported the car to the UK and it arrived this week, is my first car like this and am...
