    Backfire thru exhaust at idle

When you rev the motor it should stay steady or only go slightly higher. The sign of a inoperative charging system is battery voltage at start, decreasing steadily...

    My Satellite is a porker!

    Love the color. I put the ro23 hood scoop on my ‘67 as well, it really completes the look. One day i plan to fab up a sheetmetal airbox. Will be a fun project.
