Now if they just made them with NEW CAR SMELL. :)

Thanks for the info. I'll check them out. I didn't check out the general discussion area thinking it was for something else. Looks like the Diplomat spindles will work.

Thanks for all the help. Seems there's a conspiracy around here to keep me from getting much done on the Satellite, but eventually it will be on the road. So far I haven't been able to find any 70's era cars anywhere close by. I guess they all got crushed. I have found a couple 87...

Thanks for all the help. Last time I was at the local JY that had the potential donors I didn't pay attention to what they were. I just looked at the front end to see if it was intact. But now I know what to check for. Right now the car has 14" wheels so looks like I may have to change them...

Thanks for the info Greg. Sounds like there is a great deal of interchangeability between years and models at least for disc brakes. Any specific years and/or models that I should focus on?

As the new owner of a 71 Satellite I'm a little confused concerning which years and vehicles to use the spindles out of to convert from front drum to disc. The instructions I've read about which ones to use have been for other years and different bodies (A and E). I've read that the...

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if the K member had to be changed. Sounds like the V8 swap would be almost as easy as fixing the /6. The car has, I believe, an 8-3/4 rear axle, the one without the removable rear cover. From what I've read so far it should hold up. Since I don't...

Just bought a 71 Satellite with a Slant 6. Drove the car home ok but when I checked the vacuum at idle it was only 14 or so warmed up and about 18-19 cold. I've been debating whether to swap in a 360 or 383 or just rebuild the 6. This is my first Mopar so I'm not familiar with engine swaps...

Thanks everyone for the welcome. My 71 has drum brakes all around. Disc would be a definite improvement. Have to add this to the upgrade plans.

Hi, I just purchased my first Mopar, a 71 Satellite with a slant 6, almost rust free, a rarity in the rust belt. Looking forward to learning all I can about it and Mopars in general. Right now plans call for a V8, new auto with OD and lockup torque converter and lower axle ratio. Any other...
