Hi Everybody,
My name's Jon Gwilliam and I'm new to the MMA and the forum.
I own a newly aquired 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellite in Mopar B5 blue.
Motor is a 383 (which I believe is the original block) stroked to 451 cu in with a big cam and single Holley 4 barrel on an Edelbrock manifold.
Transmission is the original factory 4 speed with a slightly vague Hurst shifter.
Been looking for a B body car like this (big block and manual) for many years, and finally taken the plunge.
Car runs really well and is mechanically very well sorted due to the care of the previous owner, and gets a lot of eyeball on the road!
Short term plans are to tidy up the interior (anybody got any dash parts or a parcel shelf?) and do a little work on the braking system.
Longer term plans are to take it to the Mopar Euronats and Dragstalgia next year, and fulfill a long time dream of getting on the track at Santa Pod.
This is my first Mopar (and American car!) so hoping that you will be generous with your experience and expertise!
All the Best - Limey
