My brother and I have been thinking of fitting an electric fan at the front of the radiator to help with cooling when stationary or in slow moving traffic. Quite a simple and obvious solution to an occasional overheating problem, but asking around and looking on the 'net, it appears everyone has...

Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked and answered before - I'm sure it has - but couldn't find it without spending another hour searching... My brother and I have a 63 Polara 500 with a 63 Superstock MW 426, which has been in there since the 80's we think. We had it rebuilt back in 2005...

Hi all, A couple of years ago, while the car (69 Sport Satellite) was off the road having the engine replaced, the speedo needle somehow managed to move from being at rest at 0 mph to being at 25mph when stationary! Consequently it's now indicating that we're doing approx 25mph more than actual...

Well i thought it was a simple question... We've (brother & I) been thinking of taking our 69 Sport Satellite to a rolling road / chassis dyno just to check hp/torque, now we've ironed out a few 'teething' problems with our 493 stroker. And to see if the figure we were given from the engine...

Hi all, looking for a bit of help to understand what stall speed we need for our application. I've read thru many threads on here which have given conflicting info, so still none the wiser to be honest! It's a 69 Sport Satellite that we recently fitted a 493 stroker from a well known and...

Hi all, After 33 years owning our 69 Sport Satellite, i've only just noticed that some GTX / roadrunners have different 'text' on the clear lens to ours! There's a nicely restored complete dash on ebay that i was looking at and noticed it has extra wording at the bottom - namely 'LIGHTS'...

Hi all, We've just got our 69 Sport Satellite back on the road after 4 years. Now got a Koffel 493 in there, fairly mild, but still made 605 hp and 687 lbft on their dyno! All along we asked that it be easily streetable and stock-looking. So far it feels very useable in traffic and at highway...

Hi all We're looking at getting some replacement valve covers as the pair we have dont have any baffles in. As an alternative to adding baffles to the pair we have, i was thinking these might be a better option...

Hi all, We've just got our 'new' Koffel 493 engine fitted to our 69 Sport Satellite, and while we're still a bit worried that the taller Edelbrock Performer RPM inlet may cause interference with the stock air filter and hood, one thing we hadn't thought about was whether the extra height would...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this... couldn't see anywhere else suitable... It's just a question of whether anyone has had contact with Mancini recently? I emailed them on Dec 1st to ask a couple of questions about their positive battery cables, and followed it up with a...

Hi all, I had a couple of questions that I was going to ask Ron Wilson, Firecore dealer (whose details I got from here: http://www.firecore50.com/buy.htm ) But the email address it gives ( [email protected] ) comes back with an error. Has anyone else on here been in contact with him...

Hi all I know the relative merits of these have been discussed on here before - some have had good experience and some not so, but I was wondering if anyone had recently managed to find a supplier who has any in stock? Mancini's website has been saying they are currently out of stock, for some...

Hi all, Many moons ago we changed the original 318 in our 69 Sport Satellite for a warmed-over 440. The guy that built the engine and did the swap was more familiar with Fords & Chevys race engines and wasn't aware of how important it is to have a fully-functioning kickdown linkage on a 727, so...

Hi all, Does anyone here know whether 'Boosterdewey' http://www.boosterdeweyexchange.com/ has an email address I could use to contact them? I know they show a phone number on their website but it would be a lot easier (and cheaper!) for us to contact them by email from the UK. And has...

Hi all After 31 years of ownership we're looking at replacing the tail light bezels on our 69 Sport Satellite. Restoring the originals is a nice idea but the driver side bezel has a nasty dent on the top edge, which has been there since we've had the car. There's the usual amount of pitting...

Hi all, Not too sure of the terminology but we're on the lookout for some replacement weatherstrip that fits in the wing vent window frame; the channel that the front edge of the door glass runs up and down in. Had a look in the usual places - Metro, Kramers, Steele, Herb's... but cant see...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has any kind of exploded view (like you get in the manuals) of the park mechanism on a 63-ish push-button 727? We've just had our driveline vibration fixed :hello2: but while the car was in the 'shop they also (tried to) fix a leaking park mechanism gasket...

Hi all Has anyone had any contact with Laysons over the last few months? I posted a question and managed to get one reply in their Vendor Forum, back in November, but I haven't been able to get them (Rick) to respond on that forum or to separate private messages since. I know they used...

63 Polara 500 Backup Lenses & Weatherstrip Hi Rick, I see in your catalog that you list Backup Lenses for a 63 Polara 500 - part nos 63P5-LB & 63P5-RB. Can you confirm whether you have these in stock and available? I need one pair, thanks. Also, I need a couple of window weatherstrip...

Hi all We're having trouble getting our passenger door to close properly on our 63 Polara 500 :angry1: Either the latch is completely knackered or it just needs a bit of adjusting - haven't quite worked that out yet, but I'd like to know if there's anyone selling new (or reconditioned?)...
