I believe you have a standard Satellite (not Sport Satelite, no wood grain dash) with an older engine in it. I believe the 318 came out in '68 for Satellites, so a 273 would be an older engine. (or VERY early 1968 I suppose).

this was from a Plymouth brochure early in the 1968 model year,
didn't have the RR's HT's in it even yet

they did show a 273 available

Thanks guys
I know i like the black better that the wood grain. but previous owner broke the part around the radio. so i will be looking for that. I drove to work today. I may try to get a picture of the fender tag and see if i get some help with the decode of that

Can you help me with a situation. I have 68 Plymouth Satellite which I think the turn signal flasher is bad. I am trying to replace it but finding it difficult to find a flasher that is the same as i have. The picture above shows the flasher. Any clue to where i can get this?
Also how the heck to you do a new post on this site. I am new to it and just can't figure out how to ask questions and then post them for a reply.

I believe what's in your picture is a headlight delay relay (if it's silver, round and about 2" long). You can actually get a flasher that works (not original) at any AutoZone, NAPA, Advance, O'Reilly, etc. If I remember right, I think your turn signal flasher & emergency flasher are "stock" mounted up under the lower lip of the dash near your left shin (as you sit in the driver's seat)....kinda awkward.... or they may just be hanging loose in that area.
