My Current 67 Satellite Build.

[Jerry Hall]

Well, Christmas came the first of the week. My cam kit came in almost a month before it was quoted.

Today the cam was installed and yesterday the heads went to the machine shop. Tomorrow I will break out the degree wheel and get the

cam setup properly.

For everyone that asked, I will be able to give an exact figure on how far below deck the pistons are. Right now without the dial indicator my guess is about 10 thousandths.

 

[Jerry Hall]

are you sayin no Christmas in December?

Then you may not make my Christmas list this year!

At my age every day is Christmas, I'm just glad to be here and doing a few things.

 

[Jerry Hall]

A little more than I thought, but all in 16 thousandths is not to bad. So that was what stock was in 67.
I had the heads surfaced and 1. 74 exhaust valves installed on new hardened seats. The guides were all good, so new seals and the springs were installed that came with the cam kit. It was my call, but I hope the $780 spent on a pair of 516 iron heads is worth it.

You should be fine.

Continuing with the engine. It's now fully assembled. The distributor was sent to @HALIFAXHOPS , and Ray did an outstanding job in cleaning and refurbishing it. He also re-curved it for my cam choice.

We put primer on the engine with a high heat product and have put the first top coat on with some Mopar engine enamel I had on hand.

The final paint will be in the correct color as this is way to blue, but not until this is cured. PPG mixed the correct color in the more green turquoise.

Wow that's about as perfect as you can get for a quench build.
The whole things looking great

Now with most of the summer heat gone, and some nice days, I'm getting a few things done.

The seats are assembled and set aside. The firewall pads and the restored heater box is installed. The 4-speed petals are restored and back in place. The brake lines in front are in as well as the new master cylinder, and brake plate and rod. A few new goodies also on the firewall. The inner fender well battery cable brackets have arrived as well as the clutch rod boot. The outside body paint is wet sanded and buffing has begun. We had to cut the rearend U bolts to remove the rear springs which will be replaced. The rearend is tight and smooth so a good cleaning and new pinion seal will be about all there, other than I will pull the axles and replace the inner and outer seals there. No signs of leaking, but I'm not going to take that chance. About all I can think of right now.

 

[RemCharger]

Very nice Jerry! Would you be able to take better pics of the clutch/brake assembly support brackets?

Those seats are AH-Mazing! Really like the color. It's cool when everything starts to go together, right?

 

[Jerry Hall]

Very nice Jerry! Would you be able to take better pics of the clutch/brake assembly support brackets?

I will, I'm still trying to find the over the center spring so I will be back there again.

Hope this helps. It's sort of a ruff place to get good pictures.

 

[Big bill]

Looks good would be able to post pics of all the pedal support rods and their location and how many there are I'm working on a 67 and having trouble .

 

[Jerry Hall]

A few things are being put back on, either new or restored.

 

[Jerry Hall]

A question arose in a discussion about upper control arms in another part of the forum. I bought new and the question of quantity was brought up. The ones I bought have Moog bushings and upper ball joints. Quality is as good as original, plus they are powder coated chassis black.

 

[dadsbee]

Nice Jerry, mine were nice too but the bushings were junk. I popped them out with my thumbs!

Jerry, what springs were the right size for the 702 cam? They don’t specify on the website what seat pressure is needed..etc

Im thinking about getting this cam for my 440 with the 906 heads.

I took Lunati and my machine shop at their word. Lunati provided the springs in the kit I bought. I may still have the box and specs, but I will have to look.
