I have updated my website if you would like to take a look into more details of the restoration. 1970 FM3 Plymouth Satellite Convertible Project Intro

No, I didn't. pressure was probably too low. I did break in the camshaft and made sure I used non-synthetic oil and a bottle of zinc additive.

When I rebuilt the 318 on my 70 Satellite Conv project, I ended up replacing the oil adapter plate because the original one was pitted. I bought a repo kit that came with the gasket and fitting as well. I was pretty excited when it came time for me to start the engine for the first time as it...

UPDATE 11/06/2023: Nov 3rd was the first time I was able to drive the car under its own power. I waited quite a while for the correct radiator to be restored by Glen-Ray and for the original carb to be restored by HARMS. I still have a few bugs to work out of it, the front disc brakes grip way...

you mean this list ?

OER

Just got my headrests back from Not Just Headrests. They look perfect! thanks Dennis!

So it cost me $200 for a repo trunk lid lower molding for 1970 Satellite Conv. Here it is with my original. Guess which one is original? This is a prime example of a crappy repo part that the market tricks us into buying as a "restoration" part. Instead of being a formed part made from thin...

It's hard to find 14x6s. I got stuck putting 14x5.5s on my 70.
