    Nice RR! I have a 73 RR and a Fiero GT as well. More of a fan of the 71-72 RR's but the 73 was a steal for the price.

    Beautiful car. My dad has I believe a 70 satellite. Not running, but think originally it had a dead 318, so he put in a 383, and that died after years. So he parked it, and one day he wants to get it running again with a 440 he has across the field. It's a big project, but he helped me with my Fiero, so I'm kinda obligated to help him when he decides to do it haha.

    Your speedometer is cable driven from a gear in the tailshaft of the transmission. You can change the gear to adjust for your rear gear and tire diameters.

    • @FieroAustin
      @FieroAustin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks. i didn't notice till just not but I meant to say the tachometer isn't right! Any advice for that?

    • @jamesprodorutti2454
      @jamesprodorutti2454 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And if I'd have paid attention I would have realized you meant the tach. Anyways, I'd wire up a good tach just to verify your suspicion.There is only a wire from the coil to the tach so doubtful that's going to throw the rpm off. If it is off no choice but to pull it and have it rebuilt to fix it. Redline Gauge Works did a great job on mine.

    I like that body style a lot. The fact that it has a 383 is even better! Do not change the intake manifold. The Torker 2 has better high end power with at least equal low-end power compared to a dual plane.

    • @FieroAustin
      @FieroAustin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Think so? I have no need for high end, but if low-end isn't compromised that sounds like a good deal..

      @@FieroAustin You have the right idea. Single plane for the strip, dual plane for the street. You ABSOLUTELY lose torque with a single plane intake. That's the whole idea. You sacrifice some torque and make it up (and then some - with horsepower) at the big end (at the strip). Amplify that if the engine is bone stock. GORGEOUS car!

    I've always had a-bodies and like I said in the previous comments I recently picked up a 71 satellite dressed as a road runner but there's something I'm unsure about with these 71s. Were rallye gauges standard in a 71 satellite and road runner? Also was a 150mph speedometer standard in a 71 satellite and road runner along with a factory tach? I'm asking because the 71 satellite I have has a 150mph speedometer and a tach and its not showing and indication of the cluster being swapped or even the entire dash itself being swapped. Also usually when people swap clusters or entire dashes they never get everything working again unless it's a restored car which my 71 is not a restored car and the tach works in my car and that's just something I wouldn't expect if the cluster was swapped out or the entire dash was swapped.

    • @FieroAustin
      @FieroAustin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I might not be the guy to ask, but from my understanding rally gages were an option on both satellites and road runners, so it very well may have been factory. I have seen a 72 satellite with original rally gages.
