Definatly worth it starting with a stock 230 hp 9.2:1 cr 1969 Plymouth Satellite 318. Added an Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm 4 barrel. Lots of noticeable fun and acceleration with the added cfm and the secondaries. Night and day difference over the stock BBD 318 2 barrel. ☆☆☆☆☆

Got a vented tank and or a vented gas cap? Try pulling the long hill with the gas cap loose. (Put a string on it so you don't loose it.) ☆☆☆☆☆

Thinking about assembling the Mopar to HEI Conversion with full 12 volt E-Coil > no ballast resistors required. ☆☆☆☆☆

It's stupid to flip a rear end. There are pockets and runs that catch debris that are now on the top. The ring gear now sits on the passenger side of the pinion instead of the driver's side, moving the pinion to the left side of the tunnel instead of going down the middle of it. Does a person...

That might be "Gun Metal Blue". Edit: Ooops think this color is called "Gun Metal Gray". Mopar factory color in 1972. ☆☆☆☆☆

Red Oxide primer surfacer for the accent color. Then have the paint mixing guys mix you up a match to your blue in Basecoat only... no clearcoat for the old original look. Easy to paint that too. ☆☆☆☆☆

Get the Emergency Brake Cables from the doner car for the 8 3/4. ☆☆☆☆☆

"The concern about the oil holes in the shafts is about oil between the rocker and the shaft."

Pull the distributor cap off to see that the rotor is turning when cranking it over. Start with the basics. Rock the crank back and forth and watch the rotor to see how loose your timing chain is. Possibly the chain jumped a few teeth if it is loose enough, throwing the mechanical timing out...

Yes pulling a spark plug to see if it is burning rich. Do your eyes water when standing at the back of the car with it running at a fast idle? ☆☆☆☆☆

Little too much cam and little to deep rear gears. Carb not tuned in for mileage in mind. Other than that, no funny noises > then all is good. ☆☆☆☆☆

I bought a bunch of 489 chunks 10 years ago for $100 a pop, as a reference to what people have invested in them. ☆☆☆☆☆

2.94 gears are my favorite gear sets with the 741 case > for cruising and at today's highway speeds. Stock '69 318 with added Edelbrock 1406 4 barrel, 727 trans and the 2.94 gears. Pass anything you want, the light weight Torq Thrust II aluminum wheels helped performance a lot. Less rotating...

As you are getting into it with the arm rest off, you may be able to spray WD-40 in through the small holes to soak down the latch mechanism from inside > with the spray tube on the can. (without having to remove the interior door panel) Also can spray the striker pin door latch area from the...

Can possibly use these repair panels to custom fit to your '66. Saving the tunnel structure so you are not taking the backbone out of the car as you are working on it. One side at a time on the fronts. Rears would be easier to fabricate up if need be. Yes, the price of parts has gone up...

Here is another thought as the linkages and latch wear over time (driver's side being used the most, and has the most wear). Try unbolting the driver's inside chrome latch release handle (7/16" headed bolt..maybe 1/2"). Then grab a vice grip or channel-lock pliers and grab the swing mechanism...

If the door latch is binding on the striker pin? Try jacking the car up high enough to get jack stands under the sub frame at the transmission. Then let the car down on the jack stands. The weight of the engine and front end will help flex the Unibody so it takes the pressure off the door...

For sale right now. Yeah you could do a nice paint job with that. Brass machined air cap. ☆☆☆☆☆

Like the way the Chevy 350 hydraulic cam settings. Bring the cylinder up on compression, then spin the pushrod with your fingers while tightening the nut down. When the pushrod stops easily spinning > that is zero lash. Then you need to tighten down at the rocker 1/2 to 3/4 turn for the lifter...

It's funny how there is an official 3>18 day (March 18th), but no 3>40 day. Guess the Working Man's 318 won out... ☆☆☆☆☆

34,000 actual miles. When I took it to car shows I had people roll the windows down > the mechanisms and tracks would just glide. People would look at me like OMG, this is like brand new. Tail lights shone crystal clear, no hazing or fogged lenses. That is what sold me on the car right there...

1969 Satellite 318 with Edelbrock 1406 4bbl, 727 and 2.94 gears, and single factory exhaust > 20 mpg, Yes Sir... The light weight Torque Thrust II wheels definatly helped, less rotating mass to spin up. ☆☆☆☆☆

Don't know, but it sure ran nice on a stock build 360. Very responsive > strong. Believe it was 1967 383s that ran the Strombergs. ☆☆☆☆☆
