First B Body (and first big block too!)

[SatelliteSammy]

Hi, nice to meet you all! I bought a 1966 Plymouth Satellite in May after owning a Dart Swinger for about 7 years. It's my first big girl car and I'm trying to learn as I go, but I do my own work and have plenty of questions. So far, it's been a great car and it's going to be with me for a looong time.

I should have written it in the post...it's the 383 with the 4 barrel carb. Might be a *little* quicker than my Slant 6 Dart...

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll be very happy with that car. It looks great. What drivetrain do you have?

Thanks! I get that about the dog dishes a lot. Some people try to convince me to upgrade wheels but I think it looks mean as is.

Welcome from not too far from you, nice looking car.

Thanks for the welcome! Do you know of any good cruises or shows coming up other than Hines Drive and Woodward?

Definitely! I don't want them to know I'm coming until they're looking at my taillights.

This one has the 383 with Carter 4 barrel and the 727 3 speed auto. I think there were two different 383s for that year but haven't been able to find out for sure.
