I have updated my website if you would like to take a look into more details of the restoration. 1970 FM3 Plymouth Satellite Convertible Project Intro

No, I didn't. pressure was probably too low. I did break in the camshaft and made sure I used non-synthetic oil and a bottle of zinc additive.

When I rebuilt the 318 on my 70 Satellite Conv project, I ended up replacing the oil adapter plate because the original one was pitted. I bought a repo kit that came with the gasket and fitting as well. I was pretty excited when it came time for me to start the engine for the first time as it...

UPDATE 11/06/2023: Nov 3rd was the first time I was able to drive the car under its own power. I waited quite a while for the correct radiator to be restored by Glen-Ray and for the original carb to be restored by HARMS. I still have a few bugs to work out of it, the front disc brakes grip way...

I'm pretty sure they were studs with either of the pictures style nuts. you don't need them if you are staying with the setup in your picture....

I am trying to identify the screws that hold the weather seal down to the vent window. Are they self-tapping or are they machine thread? The Tim Wise books don't identify them. If someone were to point me to where I can buy the correct screws that would also be helpful. PS: is this a...

I did. I found a correct 70 with a satin switch. thanks for asking.

BUMP. somebody must have some used ones out there.

So I looked high and low for the correct side molding clips for my 1970 FM3 Satellite Convertible. I ended up short a few and used some metal spring type molding clips. Fast forward two weeks (mind you I have been looking for them for 2 years), I found out by pure accident the clips I was...

you mean this list ?

OER

Just got my headrests back from Not Just Headrests. They look perfect! thanks Dennis!

So it cost me $200 for a repo trunk lid lower molding for 1970 Satellite Conv. Here it is with my original. Guess which one is original? This is a prime example of a crappy repo part that the market tricks us into buying as a "restoration" part. Instead of being a formed part made from thin...

It's hard to find 14x6s. I got stuck putting 14x5.5s on my 70.

UPDATE: 5/2/2023: Well it has been 3 years + 3 days since I started working on this project. It is very close to being done. I am waiting on a radiator from GlenRay so that I can start it and drive it. The front bumper will be installed next week when the cushions come in. The restored...

Thanks. You can still get them from AMK products if need some.

Thanks for the pictures. I think this is interesting. It appears that our Satellite hoods are different! Mine has these 4 oval holes that the wires run inside, while yours doesn't have the holes at the bottom so the wires run on the outside. I bet yours is a much earlier built car then mine...

I think I am all set now. The rally and non-rally switches are different only in the finish of the switch. Non-rally is satin PN:2947920 and rally is the older chrome one PN: 2864014. I found one on fleabay, so hopefully it will all work out. sucks that I have to pull my dash a part to change...
