A reproduction of the original shifter boot and chrome bezel.

I would think that they make an aftermarket reproduction of that dash pad.

Worked all afternoon to pinpoint an idle problem. First job was to remove intake to fix a vaccum leak.(Found the cyl heads were ported.) Tried another carb then found the problem: The distributor. Use the Pertronix distributor from the Duster and presto, nice idle, lots of vaccum.

Nice ignition wires!!

Looking good Bud. At your age all the pain should be gone in 2-3 days. When the pain is gone, just look at what a beautiful car a lot of sweat equity built. Oh yea and a lot of money.

Nice steering wheel that way, don't take the cover off.

My brother worked on the Satellite yesterday. Changed gear and pinion in diff, was Noisy. Fix a leaking header, burnt gkt. The exaust port are worked so not much material left. Installed a new distributor, MSD coil and an electric choke. He said that it's drived like a new car. Should have it in N.B. by next week.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I am too

I absolutely love the subtle changes you're doing to this car !

Found a NOS Inside Hood release cable

Oh my, the dirty hand!! Nice find though. That car is going to be just like new again.

Not my hand...

Looking really good!

Nice score. NOS, is always better than used.

Which car are you putting this intake on.

The Satellite. The Duster engine is Hemi Orange, built jan 1971. The intake has a different part number...

Dam you have made some awesome changes on that car. It looked good before, but now it's fantastic.

So the Satellite, engine has an aluminum intake on it now, and your plan is to bring the engine back to stock in appearance.
