Hey Everyone, looking to list my wife and I's 1966 Plymouth Satellite up for sale. We've had this car for 5 years and it will be painful to see it go, but we just can't find the time to enjoy it as much in recent years and would like to see it go to someone who will. This car is absolutely a...

Only a few hundred miles on it so far getting the EFI tuned in, but very happy with it. I don't know much of the motor history other than it's pretty much a .030'' overbore factory 383. Pretty sure the heads are as-cast 516, the cam is just a mopar purple hydraulic 484, stamped rockers, etc. It...

I bought one of these Gen II tanks for my 66 Satellite a few months back, Aeromotive 18464, for a boosted Holley EFI conversion. Works great for my application, they have 3 different part numbers depending on the pump flow you need. Very quiet pump, much better than external pumps. The wiring...

Not a procharger, but this past winter I used the Paxton/Vortech centrifugal kit for a 440 on my pretty stock 383, needed a few new holes in the main support plate due to the difference in hole locations because of deck height but nothing major. I was even able to use a stock mechanical fan with...

Correct, between add and full, which takes much more with a 3-4 quart extra deep pan.

Just wanted to follow up on this a bit. I did call Hughes Performance to get their take since I had just bought the trans and converter from them, and they were pretty confident the problem lies between the rooster comb and the detent ball as Demonic had suggested. Apparently the bore in the...

I should rephrase that they are most likely the stock 516 heads, I actually haven't checked into them that much. Should be closed chamber, probably soft valve seats unless the previous owner upgraded them when it was rebuilt a while back. With the head gaskets on it, flat top pistons, and only...

I got the Paxton 1201860-1 which is the 440 base kit without discharge components, in a satin finish. They do have versions with the discharge tubes, but I didn't figure they would work with the different head unit distance from the block on my 383 verses a 440 so I made my own. For a 440 it...

Hi Dale! Good to see someone else local to this area, we live about 10 miles west of Kalamazoo. Very familiar with the St. Joseph/Benton Harbor area, my wife used to work over that way for quite a few years. Maybe we'll get a chance to meet up one of these days. Mike

So far I couldn't be happier! The car came with a .030 over 383 than ran pretty well, but had a mopar purple grind .484 cam likely installed straight up and didn't have much cranking compression, hardly over 130 psi, flat top pistons, stock 516 heads. It was fun but couldn't have made much over...

Thanks! I'll take a look and see if I can get one of those on order so I have something to reference when I get there, appreciated! Mike

Little late to the party but on my 66 Satellite with the stock flat hood, I cleared by about 3/16'' with the edelbrock torker 383 manifold, holley super sniper 1250 (bit taller than a holley carb), and a blow through 4150 hat off ebay, on my supercharged 383. Mike

Thanks! I think it's worth a shot to drop the pan and have a look, I would sure think it has to be something with the linkage internally or related to the valvebody somehow. I'm glad the pan on it has a drain plug! I'd definitely rather spend some time removing the valvebody than having to pull...

Thanks! We live out in the country and everyone around here pretty much went back to life as normal a few weeks ago other than some stores and restaurants still being closed, they just can't keep people at home forever. The local dragstrip opened up this weekend for bracket points members I...

Thanks guys! We really fell in love with the 66-67 body lines once we saw this one in person, plus they are a bit more affordable than the 68-up era for sure.

Hi guys, After supercharging the 383 in my 66 Satellite this past winter, it seized first gear to the shaft on the 23 spline 833 that was originally in it the second time out. After talking with some of the manual trans places, and adding up the cost for a switch to an 18 spline with sfi...

Hi guys! New member from southwest Michigan. I've read these forums a lot since the wife and I picked up our 66 Satellite last year, figured it was finally time to join up. Not really new to the car hobby, our family has always been into drag racing. We did that for quite a few years until...
