Welcome. Cool history with the make.

I did my own alignment last summer after finishing a complete front end rebuild. First time I've done my own and I am happy with the results so far. I'll know more after I get more miles on it and can check tire wear. I also found that either the alignment shop that did it last didn't do it...

Same for me EDIT: last August (2024) for me

Sorry for our loss. They bring so much joy and love into our lives. It's never easy saying goodbye even when you know you are doing the right thing for them by letting them go. RIP Simon.

Our first house had an oversized 1 1/2 car garage. I restored my Satellite in it and then that's were it was housed while the daily drivers sat in the driveway. Summer of '98 we bought a brand new '99 300M. Neighbor across the street couldn't understand why the 300 sat in the driveway while I...

Michael Brewer, Whose ‘One Toke’ Was a Big Hit, Is Dead at 80

I still use C9 incandescents for my outside Christmas lights because I like their warm glow a lot better than LED. We do use LED on the tree and I like them there. Yes, I do see an increase in my electric bill when we put the outside lights up, but it's only about a 5-6% increase for a month so...

Our first house had a 1 car garage. It was full while I was restoring my Satellite which wasn't moveable for a couple of years so I had to work on our other vehicles in the driveway. Our HOA frowned on that. I couldn't leave cars on jack stands or have tools, etc. laying around. Maintenance work...

Very nice parade! We had our community parade through the neighborhood this past Saturday. It's usually a mix of classic cars/trucks, decorated golf carts, maybe a swamp buggy or two and people on horseback or in horse-driven carts. We had a decent turnout this year despite gusty winds and...

I also like reading about history, mostly early American. One of my favorite books is The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. It's an historical fiction centered around the Battle of Gettysburg. The book won Pulitzer In 1975. For me, it was originally an assigned reading in an MBA program for...

While the idea of living somewhere rural appeals to me, there is a very practical aspect to where you live as Kern, RC and others have mentioned. We live on 5 acres in a neighborhood of ~320 similar size lots. We're currently between the edge of most civilization and the swamp to the west. The...

My 67 383 dual snorkel uses the CA 127. The spare on the shelf measured right at 3.5"

One of my favorite things to do when I drive my Satellite. I know it's running right if it chirps going into 2nd gear. I used to feel the pinion snubber kick the floor when the motor was fresh and I didn't have passengers or other extra weight in the car.

Welcome from S FL. Nice Charger you have there!

Welcome from S FL. 67 Plymouth B's are my favorite, especially GTXs.

What type of pump is it? The pump on my 67 has "slippers" on the rotor that pump the fluid. The symptom you describe is consistent with my experience when I installed them backwards by mistake one time. Pump would only generate pressure at high RPM. The notches have to face the right way as...

They can be and often are, but not necessarily. Mostly the 2nd wing was needed to provide enough lift before lightweight, high strength materials were developed. It wasn't practical at the time to make a single wing large enough so a 2nd or even 3rd was added. They aren't used much today except...

Yes, same logic applies. Most modern fighter aircraft are statically unstable (negative static stability) from a control perspective. Think of a ball sitting on top of an arch (statically unstable) vs. one sitting inside an inverted arch (statically stable, aka positive static stability)...

I just put 1.03 t-bars and ESPO +1 GTX-spec leafs on my 67 Satellite. Definitely raised the ride height and gave the car a slight rake. The top of the 14" rim sits about level with the wheel lip now. It was about 2" lower with the old springs (Mopar Perf HD that sagged after ~10 yrs) Before After

My guess is that cost is the big driver for the limited colors. Cars have gotten expensive and many only care about cost, not color. Higher end models often have more options. There were only 4 base colors available when we bought our Durango in '22 - black, white, gray and red. Red was very...
