I've heard from several friends who overland with their 90's Land Cruisers that most tire flats are repairable with the tire plug kit and that they last a long time. I've never used one, so I think I should get one and practice on an old tire.

I know you've got a photo to share :) On the Plymouth (unlike the Dodge B-bodies), the rear wheel lip is a lot lower and covers almost the entire sidewall to the wheel. That, combined with the taller 275/60/15 tires requires quite a bit of lift to remove the rear wheel/tire. I need to look...

I don't have the original bumper jack, but I've used one before on my old 67 chevy I used to have. If the foot is not dead square and maintained as such during the lift, that jack can slip and slide out. Had it happen once on uneven ground.

I"ve owned my 1968 Plymouth Satellite since 2010. It's the first rear leaf spring car I've owned. No stranger to changing flat tires, but have not had to change one yet on the rear of the car. I have removed the rear wheels a few times in my driveway and usually use a floor jack under the...

Thank-you for the excellent follow-up summary with photos. Glad it's working well now!

show us a photo of the inside metal portion of that wire end.

I've driven my 68 Sport Satellite from San Jose to LA round trip twice. (1000+ miles RT). Caravan'd with 3 other Mopars from FBBO and FABO. No issues 1st trips. 2nd trip a strange tat-tat-tat sound cropped up about an hour into the drive. Roadside trouble-shooting with the other 3 looking on...

I wasn't free this weekend and have been attending Mopar Alley annually since about 2008 as I'm local. However, since the Mopar Alley event typically takes place in June and this year after the reorg was in July, it would have been nice if this year had better advertising on the show date...

Arnold in "Kicking Gas".... He has some great lines in this prank video:)

yeah, I thought this was a given. Surprised that so many are starting the engine with the clutch pedal pushed in.

once again, we need a Ha-Ha button. Now let's see with long hair.

I haven't used it, but I've seen some videos of people using it to virtually stage home interiors for real estate as well as create outdoor home design renderings that looked pretty awesome. The examples I saw showed a step by step process where they rendered 10 consecutive modified revisions...

I only remember there being 3 semi-well off kids in my high school, not really rich, but not lacking for nice clothes or transport. None of the 3 acted like they were rich. They were down to earth and were friends with most everybody. I graduated class of '89 in a northern CA east bay SF Bay...

As Ron H says, did you bleed the MC? If so, all should in theory be working correctly. The 1-1/8" MC should be fine - same as my car, except I'm running a Raybestos Blue. After installing MC and booster, did you set the MC pushrod gap to .050"?

New booster is the way. I went through this on my car. Also running Wilwood front disc, stock rear drum. I tried 15/16" MC and 1-1/8" MC. The 15/16" had the pedal travel too low to the floor. Once I got the correct booster (8" dual diaphragm as posted above), with the 1-1/8" MC, pedal travel...
