I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and EFi injectors clean as new!
Thanks for the info, I wonder how well it would've sold if Chrysler Australia put it on the roster. This style body Satellite would've made a great BoB KITT or Mad Max Interceptor
Turns out it was only running on 6 cylinders, crappy ProForm rockers had loosened off on 2 cylinders, gone now & has great Aussie made units.

Engine has been pulled out & car now painted. I have replaced the dissy so all is well. Will post up a Vid when it is running again.

It seems so weird to see everything backwards on the car. Great find!

How well did these sell compared to the Valiant Charger?

The Satellite was a private import and wasn't sold by Chrysler in Oz.
