    How to Make Head Rests for a 66 Satellite

    If anyone is interested in making headrests for their 66 Satellite with Bucket Seats - I've just done the job. Manufacture I started by buying a couple of head rests off a modern car from the scrapyard. I stripped the material covers and split the polystyrene inners apart. I then cut the...

    LCA Poly Bushing Failure - what to do now?

    I installed PST greasable poly bushings into my Lower Control Arms about 6 years ago. They say "Proforged" on the shaft. I noticed last week the passenger side shoulder of the bush was all split, and checking the driver's side from underneath I could see that one was stuffed too. This morning I...

    Confusion on Fuel Line I.D. and O.D

    I've recently replaced my Holley carburetor with an Edelbrock and ended up with a fairly long piece of rubber fuel line from the pump to the carburetor. My small block car has 5/16" fuel line as opposed to 3/8". My confusion arose with the inside diameter and outside diameter of these lines when...

    Custom Air Cleaner Decal

    Got my custom air cleaner decal through the post today. Marked as "handle with care" but then folded up into 4... I contacted the supplier to let them know but it worked out fine. I came up with the initial design and then my son improved it and finished it off. I got the idea of the 90° writing...

    727 Filter Help

    I'm replacing my factory 727 oil pan with an aluminium deeper pan that has a drain plug (and another plug for a temperature gauge if desired). It has a billet filter extension and a neoprene gasket that seems like a much better product than the cork one that was on there - we'll see if it...

    Poly Stroker on the Chassis Dyno

    I took my car to the tuning guy today and he put it on the chassis dyno to optimize it and see the difference between the 600 v/s Holley and the 700cfm Double Pumper I also have. It's a 354 poly, 727 and made 341hp at the wheels with the 700 cfm and 334hp at the wheels with the 600. It was a...

    Repainted the Engine, lots of fun and games

    My engine builder decided on orange when he repainted my poly stroker. It was red when I dropped it off. Last weekend I decided to repaint it red and spruce up the rocker covers while I there. This was before I removed everything that was easy and got to painting.

    Epic day at the track/show

    Yesterday was Mopar Sunday at Willowbank Raceway in sunny Queensland. It was fantastic. Lots of cars, track open from 8am for test and tune, plus plenty of cars in the show and shine. Around 11am they closed the track and started a cruise going up the parade lane and then back down the track the...

    Upper Ball Joint Advice Needed

    My Upper Ball Joints both have split rubber seals on both sides of the car. About 5 years ago I'd bought the PST replacement UCAs that had the ball joints already installed and also the super front end kit so I had 2 spare upper ball joints. My plan was just to swap the rubber seals as the ball...

    Engine sounds terrible - unknown part under car!

    Help required! Drove the car Friday night, running great. Blew a bit of the carbon off the plugs as usual, but nothing too crazy, maybe a few 5,500rpm runs. Parked the car, no issues. Went to drive it today and it started fine, oil pressure fine etc but was sounding terrible, like an exhaust...

    When it's a heatwave, what car to drive?

    It's Autumn here, usually about 80 degrees or so, but the last few days have been in the 90's. Today was approaching 100 degrees and I needed to go to the big smoke, a 120 mile round trip so naturally I took the Plymouth with no aircon rather my daily driver. Jeez it was hot! Car run...

    Covering modern voltage regulator

    My factory voltage regulator was replaced with an electronic regulator. I've cut a channel in the underside of the case from the original regulator and it slips nicely over the new one so it looks more original. I haven't fitted it yet until I am sure it will be OK. Will there be any issues with...

    Which oil? Mineral vs Synthetic

    Just wondering what everyone is using for engine oil? Mineral, Semi-Synthetic or Full Synthetic? After the first rebuild of my poly I was told by a number of knowledgeable people here in Australia to run Penrite HPR 30: https://penriteoil.com.au/products/hpr-30-20w-60-mineral The engine...

    Cutting Torque Converter Dust Shield

    Can anyone foresee any problems with cutting the torque converter dust shield on a line across where the starter mounts? Reason being I'm chasing down an oil leak that I think is coming from the oil filter plate (small block) but I'm double checking it's not the rear main. I've removed the...

    Power Steering Pump Disassembly Help

    Hi, I'm trying to fix a leak in the body of my power steering pump. I think it's the O ring that seals the pump body to the reservoir. The pump is out, I've removed the 3 nuts that hold the front bracket to the pump (and presumably the pump to the reservoir) but it won't come apart. I've tapped...
