Plymouth Satellite

Only 1,325 units of the 1968 Pontiac Sport Satellite convertible were produced. This model was part of a limited run, making it a rare classic among car enthusiasts. The Sport Satellite was known for its distinctive styling and performance features typical of the late 1960s muscle cars.

Restoring a 1968 Plymouth Satellite involves several key steps. Start by assessing the vehicle's overall condition, including the body, engine, and interior, and create a restoration plan. Next, disassemble the car carefully, restoring or replacing parts as needed, focusing on structural integrity and mechanical functionality. Finally, repaint and reassemble the vehicle, ensuring to pay attention to original specifications and details to maintain authenticity.

Approximately 1,200 units of the 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite equipped with the 383 engine and a 4-speed manual transmission were produced. This makes it a relatively rare model among classic cars, contributing to its appeal among collectors and enthusiasts today. Exact figures can vary slightly depending on the source, but the production numbers highlight its limited availability.

The oil pressure sending unit on a 426 Hemi engine is typically located on the engine block, near the oil filter. Specifically, it can usually be found on the driver's side, close to the rear of the engine. To access it, you may need to remove some components or work around tight spaces, depending on the specific vehicle setup. Always refer to a service manual for precise locations and instructions.

As far the body of the car goes a 2 door satellite and a Roadrunner are the same..

VIN: Satellite=RL Salellite Sebring=RH Satellite Sebring Plus=RP

RoadRunner=RM

A 72 roadrunner RM will have the following:

Special Split grille with honeycomb mesh insert (rare item)

High performance engine 340 400 or 440(440 is "U" code GTX option)

Roadrunner Decor:

Strobe Stripe

RR emblems and bird decal on lower quarter

Hood Stripes vary by hood

RR medalion in header panel

RR script or bird on dash

Hood options: Call out with engine displacement or air grabber

Roadrunner "Beep Beep" horn

A few High impact colors (RR only) were left over in 72...(non available was plum crazy purple, sassy grass green)

There are probably a few other things I forgot...but most of the other RR options not listed could have been ordered on a Satellite such as sway bars, 400, bucket seats, console, 4 speed, and so on.

basically it had a heavier duty suspension and bigger brakes and the 440 engine with dual exhaust, it was an upscale satellite with better interior and more ginger bread on the outside of the car.

Sure, if you have the equipment to haul it with.

A 727 TorqueFlite transmission typically uses around 12 to 13 quarts of fluid, which is approximately 11 to 12 liters. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the specific application and whether the transmission has a cooler or additional components. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate information.

There's the possibility that the Sport Satellite could have a 318 in it instead of the big block 383 or 440. I could be wrong, but I don't think any GTX's had 318's. Of course, the trim package would be different too. The GTX should have heavier torsion bars and suspension parts too. I'm 50 years old and have never heard of a Sport Satellite GTX. It's either one or the other.

Im not sure completely on the Sport Satellite but, the Satelite I believe were all 383 cars with optional trans and rear end and the GTX came with 440 only, the trans and rear end where the options. Other than that it was trim packages and suspension differences.

He's correct. It's either a Sport Satellite (SS) or a GTX, not both, but the SS came with a 318 also and the GTX came with the 440 and the 426 Hemi

Just to confirm this answer...I am 49 yrs old and I owned a cherry 1969 Sport Satellite with a 318... (back in 1978). I sold it a few years later. It was gun metal blue and nicknamed "BC" (for "Boulevard Cruiser"). I was 18 yrs. old and it was my first car. I bought for $400.00 cash.

I would love to find a mint GTX with a 426 Hemi.

From '68 onwards the standard engine in a Sport satellite was the 318. The 383 became an option.

any V8 is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the distriburetor rotates counter-clockwise.
