draginmopars · 08-16-2016, 11:29 PM

Finally took the Satellite to the track

Never had so much fun

Going so Slow.....lol

This is an ALL stock set up

It leaves quicker than I thought it would

started at 5 lbs boost

fourth run

finally figured out the lights

and how deep to stage

> VERY different from the White Dart

Now That I got a base # to work with

Time to crank it up...lol

I know I have the WRONG rear gear, plans are to change the gearing
I hit the governor, at 2/3 track
crank up the pump, change the valve springs and gov spring.

Thats freaking awesome. Which 12v is it? PPump or VE pump? That thing really sticks its ass in the air while at the line.

draginmopars · 08-17-2016, 12:11 AM

I guess my other thread timed out/locked ???
so I started this one
I want to add to the original post
http://www.competitiondiesel.com/for...d.php?t=188111

anyway
It's a ve pump
yea, I noticed she was showing her ass
gonna have to strap her down> add leafs

I'm coming from the gas engine world,
learning about the diesels
so, if anyone has suggestion for improvement , I'm all ears

DDually · 08-17-2016, 12:28 AM

Just PM a mod on here to open it back up.

Stock, stock? Like you haven't even messed with the fuel screw?

almost stock....lol

I did shave some off the collar, on the power screw
(turned in 1 turn) put the tamper cap back on....

Now ready to remove the collar plus some mods

On the other side of the spectrum (fuel mileage), I know of a '69 Sport Satellite Wagon with a Getrag 360, pulling early 30s MPG with a 4bt.
It gets out of it's own way very well, too.

Mark.

Highwayman · 08-17-2016, 06:01 PM

Add a quick change rear end, and I don't know if I could ask for anything else.

It's awesome!

*JQmile* · 08-17-2016, 06:16 PM

I think I had about 4 turns on mine before it started to run away, but every motor is different, so keep a clipboard handy...that was worth about 70hp, then timing is another 30-40hp, so you have a long ways to go even for free. C12H26 went high 11's with a ton of spray basically for free in his 1st gen, so you should at least be able to swing that if nitrous is ok.

Thanks' for the info

am changing the gear
removing the collar, for the power screw,
and advancing the timing
I did jump a tooth , while doing the KDP
but had set the pump back to stock time.

also have 12- 60lbs springs, and a 3800 gov spring

Was reading, that it might be a good idea to replace the retainers and keepers too ??????

Here's the very first pass ( first time for my camera guy too)

will do

got it all fitted even a air box

Stuffy · 10-08-2016, 10:36 AM

If that is the factory air box you'll probably want to drill a bunch of holes in it to get more flow

Yes, once I see how to secure it to the fender

Haven't taken the time to do that

When I get it back together
I plan to weigh it
I'll report back when I know
I'm interested as well

Ryan Tucker · 10-08-2016, 01:51 PM

Nice project.
Try the 4200 gov spring.
Pay attention to pinion angle. Start 6 down.
Get a trans brake.
