    Jumper cables? Nah....there is a newer, better way to go.

    A little late to the party but my Noco GB40 has a manual override. If you hold down a button it will change modes and jump a battery that has less than 2V. Found this out last weekend when my mower wouldn't jump and was completely dead.

    Fuel pump pushrod ACCESS PLUG removal/installation tool?

    I recently learned that 5/16 was an old ratchet size before 1/4 became standard after I found this lil Snap-On in my grandfather's tool box I inherited. Was super excited but soon realized none of my sockets would fit!

    Console Lid Bent

    It had a lot more flex to it than I thought it would. I placed a 2x4 under it where it was still flat, put a foot on it, and used my other for to gently press down on the high portion. A few few presses and test fits and it was much better. Since I got a couple console guys one the line here...

    Console Lid Bent

    I was leaning towards that method. Thanks for the input and I'll probably need that luck.

    Console Lid Bent

    Got the '68 Sport Satellite up and going mechanically and started on the console. Going well except the lid. From about the lock forward on the driver's side it bends up. We'll assume someone pried on it. Anyone ever "adjust" these? Appears to be cast aluminum? I'm afraid it will crack if I try...

    Rear Brakes Lock Up when Wheels Go On?

    In my case, see above, it was all brand new parts from the MC to the wheel studs. I think it's poor quality control.

    Rear Brakes Lock Up when Wheels Go On?

    I just went through a similar problem on the front of my '68 Satellite. Everything was great until I bolted on a wheel, then the shoes were catching when rolling wheel forward. Disassembled and reassembled a couple times, same result. I finally took a file and chamfered the leading edges of both...

    Shaft seal puller for .10 cents

    I use my Craftsman slide hammer kit all the time. Mostly just the pullers and attachments. It was about $100 a couple years ago. Paid for itself many times over. And not as many busted knuckles from improvising with the wrong tool. Edit: I'm still going to steal that idea next time I need to...

    Brake and Axle Identification - Mystery Axle

    That throws what little I know out the window. I've read that if the vent is on the tube, it's after '68. Good to know.

    Brake and Axle Identification - Mystery Axle

    Thanks for that lead. I'll go search for it.

    Brake and Axle Identification - Mystery Axle

    Getting the rear brakes up and going on my 1968 Sport Satellite. Manual drum brakes. No rear axle when I started. Installed the 8 3/4" axle from my '68 Satellite 4 door donor. I see now it's not the original axle since the tee is out on the tube, as I understand it. So from looking through the...

    Eldelbrock hose barb

    I was in a similar situation finding fittings for the water pump. Finally found what I needed at HD in the PEX fittings. They had brass pipe fittings with barbs there but not in the regular plumbing fittings section. They aren't regular tapered barbs but have some good grip if you get the proper...

    Rivets on 67 GTX tag?

    This happened recently here in KC. Never use smooth rivets. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kctv5.com/news/investigations/classic-car-could-be-destroyed-even-though-no-crime-committed/article_0101ae92-0c13-11ec-9049-f7c6541ca4f9.amp.html

    Hey All - 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellite

    That seems to be what I do. I've also saved a 1968 M715 and last fall I pulled a 1966 D100 out of a field as my next project. Saving cool old cars is a good feeling.

    Hey All - 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellite

    Been getting lots of info here but thought I should say hi. Finally got the 1968 Plymouth Satellite Sport fired up last weekend. Been setting in a field for about 30yrs. Original 318 was junk. Parked with a blown head gasket and filled with water. Found the valves were rusted off and laying on...

    FOUND 14x5.5 Steel Wheels 5 on 4.5

    Looking for a matching set of 4 for my 1968 Plymouth Satellite Sport. Steel for a 9" dog dish. Kansas City and surrounding areas. These would have been the optional size for a 68 car or std on wagons.
