Edging on visors done. I contemplated stitching but ended up with something much nicer I think.
One of the last few items left to do is now done…… not a big deal to most, but to me a significant milestone.
Kinda cool shot of the hood Plymouth emblem I just installed. This was factory for the 1970 Sport Satellite.
Hopefully this heat will break but here in AZ it really doesn’t. Not until mid October at best. But when it does I will slip out in the garage and try my new leak detection smoke unit to make sure I have no vacuum leaks. I can’t believe I finally broke down and bought this after all these years but there you have it.
Welp that didn’t take long. Found a very small leak but it’s in a really bad place. It’s in the intake manifold below the carburetor. It’s up under the shelf of the casting. There’s nothing else there so it has to be a casting porosity issue. I dealt with these in my professional life as I used to work with aluminum casting designs and manufacturing.
The question is…..is this a problem? It’s a very very small leak probably not much more than a pinhole if that. Not much volume of air can get in there. I suppose I could probably plug this with JB weld. What are you thoughts guys?

JB weld was my first thought. Easy peasy
True but I cant even see it. It’s up under the shelf. I suppose I can just smear it.
Leak successfully repaired! Doubt it caused any issue but I feel better and dam this machine is awesome to have!
Ordered and still waiting for my correct wiper motor power drop resistor. The installation is complete…… like new!
I received the new factory correct ballast resistor today. It measures 0.5 ohms. And this is the original grounding strap cleaned off. You can see the serial number on it.
Also, very importantly, this resistor is IS IS IS part of the parking circuit internally to the motor. Without this ballast resistor, the wipers will not park!
