- The 426 under the hood of that 1966 convertible Satellite has come a long way since it first arrived at the shop. Today, Nick is going to crank it over and make sure it is ready to roll out.

"She came from Planet Claire, I knew She came from there, She drove a Plymouth Satellite, Faster than the Speed of Light"-B-52s Thank You Nick's Garage ! ( My Mother Joan Loved 'LingonBerries & Pickled Herring' , RIP. )
So nice to see the Volvo again.
Soon Nick will get one of his own haha
Rare one of 16 with a full matching number 4 speed right from the factory ,but spend some time in the junkyard ? Wow , who,s the lucky owner?
The irony is the copper hemi 70 coronet r/t conv one of 2 that exist was found in a junkyard one hour outside montreal back in 1979 the guy paid 100$ for it. How much is it worth now?
4 speed ?
Very Nice work as usual Nick! My father was a Chrysler dealer mechanic in the 50's and 60's. His words about you are "this guy is a REAL MECHANIC".Love your videos.
Drop a Hemi in the volvo :P
I wonder if you should recommend a different brake setup besides the single suicide master cylinder in the satellite? I had 1 let go on my 66 coronet, no brakes,no fun!
hopefully you made out ok finding that coronet shifter,if not,please try my buddys #. that hemi is a sleeper,all the way down to the duct tape holding that left rear quarter together, lol, just like my 66 coronets was too! but mine was on both!
Michael Ferro That suggestion has definitely been made to the client. It's an easy upgrade and a good safety item. Thanks for watching!
Nick,is the 30 weight used for break in followed by the 50 weight?
the 20-50w valvoline oil has zink in it for flat tappet lifters .
When I was 18, I got a job at a shop that catered to Pontiac o files.
389s, 421s, and 455s were the subject of the day.
The owner was my mentor, he taught me that the smallest details could make or break the car....
But not only the car, but me myself.
It was very much like Nick's.
At 58 I was retiring from my NYC city job in the Housing Dept. After 30 years as a leader of my men and expert on fixing 100+ year old buildings so that regular people had a place to live.
So I taught my replacement what was important....
The little details.
I intended to take up the OLD SCHOOL manner of mechanics for our beloved cars, to keep them running,
To keep them from becoming a museum piece.
But I had a stroke, paralyzed up my entire right side.
I lost the use of my right hand, leg, and even being able to speak.
I can't not even hold a tool anymore.
It was crushing.
2 years it took me to fight my way back.
But muscle cars were out of the picture.
A young man, 23 years old had a 73 Pontiac Trans Am.
It was very beat up, but it had a 455 that would run with the right care, but he did not know of the way of the muscle car.
I do
I talked him into doing it "right" no Bondo were new metal panels could be welded in.
The motor HAD to come apart...
Every thing had to bare his touch, so it will be "HIS" car.
Not many of us left.
Nick knows the way of the muscle car.
He is proud to pass on what he does.
I am proud to pass on what I know.
Everyone turn twords Nick's shop and bow there heads in reference.
The way of the muscle car will never die.
Tom Miano. Tom, you are a great person, helping others and enjoying the American Muscle cars. And yes, its in the small details that counts very much. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Nick, the fact that you read this stuff tells me you care about your subscribers
we got the 455 block back and i stood there showing the boy
how to grind the clearance on the rings.
it took all day with the ring sizer and match the pistons to each bore.
The kid said that the rings out of the box SHOULD fit,.......
NO they MIGHT look like they fit.....i kind of giggled
put the ring in the bore square, measure the clearance...
sure enough they butted.
It took all day
but it made the kid proud to know it was done 'RIGHT'.
i may not be able to turn the wrenches myself, but i COULD teach the kid about sizing rings on a cold or hot engine .
For me the feeling of uselessness was kind of hard, after the stroke, just looking at my tools made me sad.
People have told my that i am kind to take the kid under my wing, let him use those tools and my garage.
Those tools belonged to my father and grandfather before me.
seeing them used again made me feel not as useless
The truth is that the kid is doing me a favor, seeing the tools and seeing that Pontiac and block in my garage being worked on.
Well,...it makes me as im carrying on as i should.
The way of the muscle cars, isnt just cars.
We can make it work forever.
Just watch you helping that guy putting in that windshield made me remember
my mentor...
"is the details".
The way of the muscle cars will live forever.
Thank you for doing this.
Tommy
What i like about this garage and all that is in it. Is the fact that this mans garage and him is that no carnaval barker, no used car salesman trying to sell something thats 5 yrs old its just like new! And no obnoxios music. No over sell.
What a beautiful sound in back of that hemi
I have a question about the old Mopar engines, I've been told many times that they'll only go about 50,000 miles before they'd start smoking, due to improper balancing from the factory, is that true? If not, why did they have such short longevity?
Does Nick ever worry about exhaust fumes? I ask out of extreme respect, I think he is an awesome mechanic and good person and nobody ever wants to see someone like this have a health problem....
What's the rush to paint it ? Go crusin. Get some stone chips on it.
NICK , there's an SU carb rebuilder, in Canada IIRC. Think his name is Rhys, or something along that line. He can rebuild those strombergs too. I sold him several sets ( 5 or 6) of strombergs I had laying around here a few years back. Good luck with the Volvo 160 build.... it's "the forgotten Volvo" in all the series they made.
Nick you are the Man! U always have some great cars and motors sitting around your shop!
placing the windshield goes way easier if, prior to placing, you put a thin wire between the rubbers where the windshield should be. grease the rubber as well.
When placing the windshield gently pull the rope out between the rubber and the windshield (press it down slightly) and the rubber will be pulled over the windshield.
amananca. Thanks for the input, I will tell this to my windshield installer.
I do my own screens and i've been doing them since 1970. I put the rubber on the screen then use a cord around the groove,one guy pushes on the screen and I pull the cord. Bingo ,it's in place.Don't forget to replace the rubber diaphragms in the volvos carbs.
I own a auto glass shop in cincinnati and the time wasnt bad you probably has a china made rubber gasket there hard to work with but the night before i have a 5 gal bucket of w.d. 40 i let it set over night and it works goodi watched him close the man know his job but nick a good glass man is like your line of work you dont have time for scratches breaks and leaks you are only as good as your standerds and your employees if you got sorry employees you wont last!!
from the way that engine sounded it is really starving for air. I suspect that the booster has a pin leak in it.
reminds me of my 69 road runner hemi on a cold morning in vegas it would take 10 minutes to warm up in the cold weather that was in72 when gas prices went thru the roof so i sold it to buy a love truck biggest mistake, have not had a four cylinder since or never will v8 lives on nick love your channel wish you many more years you seem to enjoy your hobby- job
WOW,.....sweet pair of Ragtop mopars....god I love em.
I would say if it took 45 minutes to install a windshield on the assembly line back in the day somebody would be getting fired
Geia sou.....I enjoy your vids..nice shop..professional builds.keep up the great work
I had three of those volvos,loved them.
thank you Nick, you make us proud to have you as our neighbor:)
الله عليك تمنيت انت في العراق تجددلي موتر بيكاب ١٩٧٩ Gmc
A real professional would not install the windshield or anything until it was painted 30 years painting and bodywork love your show nick
If you look closely, you will notice that the windshield frame on that car has been painted. It was ready for glass.
Nick's Garage I saw that but I still would not have installed the glass it's cool...oh by the way the factory put the glass in after it was sprayed thanks nick
Scott Strong. I know, but I did what the customer wanted. Thanks for watching.
I have to ask: Why would you install the windscreen BEFORE painting the car...? The frame didn't look like it had the right colour...
The interior, engine bay, fire wall and front glass frame were all painted already, the rest is in primer at the time of this shoot. Then it’s back to the shop for the rest of the paint. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for your answer :) The blue tone didn't look like it was the "final" colour, but I'm looking forward to see the finished car! I have one of such rare cars myself (although, a very different kind of car and probably about 25 years younger...still, only 1400 were made and aparently there are only ~ 250 left), so i absolutely love it that such beauties are preserved! I just recently found your channel and while i'm not a huge US-Car guy, you videos are absolutely amazing, very informative and well made - i really enjoy watching them. I hope you and your team won't get too swamped in work, so you can keep making those videos! Have a nice day and greetings from snowy germany!
Once you've got the 164 running, I'd sell the customer a headgasket job on this thing for preventative reasons.
While the head is off replace the freeze plugs you can get to as well.
Nothing disappoints more than a car - that is much loved, starts being used again after many years of not running, then the headgasket blows and cooks the motor.
You da Man Mr.Nick👍
Hey nick the background music is always great.
The muscle cars of the 60's are even better with the addition of sub frame connectors.
I love those skinny tires and hub caps on hemi cars, its so humble !
Korie Creson I'd swap them wheels out with magnums
Andrew Samy hell yeah, have the rears widened maybe a luttle
you do know magnum 500 wheels were actually pretty rare right? Most had 14 five spokes with painted rims. The magnum 500 rims were mostly chrome 15s. To be fair most "hemi" cars came with stock painted regular rims and dog dishes.
Jacilynn S yes factory optioned b body's are all for mopar & I think for only 3-4 years, ford general motors used them on a wide variety, and lots of different versions. Even still aftermarket & oversized billet aluminum
Jacilynn S molars rule no matter what
Cruiser? That things a rocket! Lol! I wouldnt paint it. First id go make some money with it! Nobody is gonna suspect there a REAL hemi in that car! Lol!
Hey Mr Nick. Great job on the Satellite engine swap. I'm wondering what air cleaner are you going to use? It's looking pretty tight as far as hood clearance goes. Is the owner wanting to go sleeper?
C'mon Dog. A 66 Satellite came with a Hemi, so we are going with the original chrome air cleaner assembly which fits perfect.
Thank you for taking the time to personally answer some e-mails yourself. I appreciate your series because you devote your time to true gearhead topics and not just retro-mod projects where the answer is to just add an LS drive train. I like that you are a garage and not afraid to get your hands dirty. That's what Go-Jo was invented for
Another great video. Now on the Plymouth, Maybe Its just my eye's cause I'm getting older now LOL, but what kind of air filter will fit underneath the hood, To me It doesn't look like very much room. Thanks Nick.
doon714. The chrome Dome air cleaner assembly is what is going on, as original. Fits, because it is factory original.
Thank you nick.
discs all 4 corners on the volvo? That's state of the art. I think the 140 series had drums in the rear. I might be wrong though.
rimmersbryggeri the 140-160 all hade discbrakes. The120 (amazon) had drums in the rear
And the injected 160 had ventilated discs in THE front
Personally i dont think any Satellite, Coronet or Belvedere would ever be concidered a "sleeper" those things accept 440's naturally at the very least. Now a 64-66 Barracuda would fit the word as those came at best with the 273 and nothing more, maybe im over thinking the concept but that is just what i think.
milfhunterX. You are totally correct. A Hemi in a 64-66 Barracuda, is a SLEEPER.
If there ever was a justifiable up grade it would be a dual master cylinder,and disc brakes. The owner could just shelf the old parts if he wanted to make it original aging later. No way I would want to drive it that way,it is worth to much to chance having the brakes fail.
I love Nick I had a quick question for you I have just recently bought in 83 Pontiac Firebird and had noticed a timing marker on the timing chain cover is not where I think it should be I'm pretty sure it's missing but maybe there's another spot it could be. Thank y
Bryan Dearstyne. On a Pontiac timing chain cover it is not a tab. It is casted in the cover. Make sure the harmonic balancer has not moved or spun in the hub.
another great video by george and nick still on his great work and explanations on what is going on in the shop and how things work and his little secrets revealed one by one (keep up the great work) nicks garage ( indy auto) should be on a t.v show like velocity
Nick I live in Greenwood Indiana I've been watching all of your shows on UTUB Man I just love all of them glad to see there is still guys around that like the old cars !!!
Greg my home town!!!! Hostetter. I know many people that love old cars, from all over the globe. Thanks for watching.
This show should be on tv
Ricky Thompson Fast paced demands of tv would ruin this and/or the cars, then Nick's reputation.
Good points.i hope he starts uploading a video once a week
no thanks, TV has become a vast wasteland with the bloody reality TV formula which says you must provide constant drama to keep the drooling idiots tuned in. I can see it now: with every project Nick would have a deadline to meet, he'd argue with all his customers and then yell at his family members, turning it into the Mopar version of West Coast Crappers.
Would be the worst thing that could happen..both to Nick and to the shop. TV would want to dictate how things go, and manufacturer drama and bs, both which they don't need there, and Nick just wants to do resurrection work on really cool vehicles.
Hi Nick I was watching some video's the other day and came across this Simca with a Factory fitted flathead Ford V8 th-cam.com/video/p-kfnd8wgcU/w-d-xo.html My brother had a 66 dodge monaco 2 door hard top looks like the same body style as the satelitte ?
Off for a week....think it's time for a Nick's Garage marathon!
Always enjoy your videos....
Here's to more Mopar and more Volvos (and hopefully an old Saab or two) and to you guys good health! 🍻
So Nick had to see a shifty character to locate a shifter? Makes sense. >.
Haha. Good one. But Nick’s contact isn’t shifty, just very private.
That shop must be choked out with exhaust.
Will that screen leak....rope a lot fasted than 45min......
Back in 1988 my brother had 2 Mopar project cars that were started by countless other shops and never finished. I got involved and soon learned why people did not buy these cars. Very hard to get parts and few real factory High Performance cars ever made. Nick seems to have more now then I saw at the Pennsylvania Chrysler Nationals in 1988 when we were looking for NOS Parts to finish the Projects. Nick shows all original Chrysler's and he openings the hood...you see bent brake lines for fuel lines, a PepBoys Distributor etc. I dealt with the Chrysler Shops for 5 years... they were the worst.
Hey Nick, great to see an update on the Volvo! Hope what I mentioned in the comments on the last video about the brakes was useful to you.
Hope to see another update or two on the old girl in future.
I hope nick dont sell out with the product that sponsor him.
Hi Nick,I'm a new subscriber and I love your channel.I do have a question for you.Before I got hurt in an accident I bought an LS-6 BBC from Chevy in the crate and It has been sitting in my car for 10/15 years.Can you tell me what the best oil I can use to break it in.This motor never ran but I did manage to turn it over every so often to make sure it didn't seize up on me.Oh yeah one more question It has the one piece seal on the crank and the pan does n't clear my crossmember in my elcamino.Do you know which oil pan I need to use???? Thanks for any info you have on this mill....
Now that struck a memory chord!
"Joe" with his '65 black vinyl on gold Hemi Satellite used to visit his buddy Mike's house in Rosemount. I used to bicycle and walk past there every chance I could at 12yrs old just to see and hear their wonderful cars. Joe had the hood open one day, two four barrels under that big chrome air cleaner, the broad chrome valve covers and centered plug wires. What a sight to see!
A lot of white stuff for spring! I'll still take the job!!! Lol my brother in law won't own anything but Volvo, but he's an Electronics Engineer and he can afford to pay someone to fix everything for him. Still, they are well built cars and in everything but performance, the match Mopar in engineering. Just don't tell him I said so!
my old man had a 318 plymouth satellite station wagon
about that Volvo: did you check if it still has the phenolic cam gear? They are notorious for desintegrating. There are steel replacement gears available in the aftermarket.
jfv65. No, I did not, But I will look into it. Thanks for the input.
Love it .....my father put a 426 Hemi in his fiberglass boat he built back in the late seventies. The hulls color was Hemi orange. Boats name " Orange Peel". When he took it for its first cruise he told me it scared him. I asked him why. He told me the 426 Hemi had too much power. LoL.
I love what you do
my dad had a 67 Plymouth Satellite same color it was not a convertible I absolutely love that car first car l learn to drive that brings back so many great memories thank you Nick!
Nick, do you ever rebuild ford engines? Just curious. I know you love Mopar and see alot of them at your shop. Thanks!
Ford..Chevy or Chrysler you name it Nick and his team build it..
THANKS FOR UPDATE ON VOLVO ,NOT SOMETHING U SEE EVERYDAY CAN`T WAIT FOR MORE NEW VIDEOS
We're link for the volvo
As usual, very good video, good tips, always enjoyable to watch! Merci!!! Tx Nick 😎👍🏼
The diaphragms on the Volvo's Strombergs will most likely need replacing. They should be classed as a service item. A lot of British classic cars had Strombergs. My 1972 Triumph Dolomite left the factory with Srombergs but it currently has SU carburettors. I can't wait to see further progress with the Volvo. You have left nothing to chance with it.
Growing up around Hemi cars im very lucky .
Higgy I miss the Hemi Trough! Lol.
Like the drilling holes in pistons, had a dohc 1.9 Saturn motor that was common to burn oil and the fix was pull pistons and drill relief holes in oil ring, was a great running motor and 35 mpg on highway just used oil! Made me think of that, thanks nick!
Warming up engines inside the shop - there must be good ventilation to prevent the guys "sleeping on the job"... And all of this north of Montreal, I can't imagine what the heating bill must look like :S
I worked in a body shop and I have a question. Why would you install a windshield before you painted it?
This car was being painted in sections. At the time of the glass install, the frame and surrounding metal was all in final paint. Thanks for your interest.
To Nick's garage as many videos you produced so far it sure looks like you definitely need alot bigger shop it looks like you could use another 150 feet added to your building another 75 feet the other way. It looks like it tight in your shop with everything that you have in there.
Hey
Side-Draft Stromberg Carbs
(those use a certain type of fluid or not.?? I seen a pair that used transmission fluid)
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't that a 70 model Satellite? Hard to tell without grill.
Jason Bagnall. No, it is a 1970 Dodge Coronet RT.
Nick, I used Yamalube 2 stroke oil in my Yamaha outboard oil injection. What are you using the Yamalube for?
Tell them to bring the lift gate truck next time ;)
I noticed the 66 Satellite had a Madison County (Huntsville)Alabama tag on the front.
This is a car channel. Why would 16 people thumbs down a freaking car channel?
I had never thought about it...but how much power gain and life extension would you guess drilling wrist pins gives an engine like that?
Delicious D. I did what the factory did in those days. I am sure it works and lasts longer.
I knew that Indy cars have high pressure oil injection although it is a well known 'secret' that they did this mainly to add fuel capacity, so it was never realistically seen as a life extender, just promoted as that.
A tiny oil jet injector would, of course, be way beyond merely drilling, or even line channeling pistons, and likely not worth it [cost invested in complex systems added, opposed to extended life of the parts being protected (I had been considering doing all that when I was younger) ] but I will from now on be drilling my pins due to watching this video and thank you for pointing it out to everybunny! (^_^)/
great job done on the engine. sounds fabulous, so much so that I envy the owner of the car.
Do you a ventilation or extractors for fumes when shop door is closed? Am curious
Callum Jones. We use the Dyno room exhaust ventilation when we have a car running in the shop. Believe me, it draws all the air and heat out of the building in seconds.
these cars a a better investment than stocks. They keep going up in values. Muscle cars pulling huge prices at Barrett. You guys go to Carlisle? Not far from Quebec.
motorhead. I have gone many times to "Chryslers at Carlisle". I am planning to come to Carlisle this Summer of 2018 if possible. Maybe we will meet, Take care.
Nick Panaritis Nice ok
used to be fun back in the day when they had the big Mopar showdown at englishtown to but for some reason down there they decided to not race anymore
This guy is old school okay. Definitely knows what the fuck is goin on. Groovy man
My dad had a hemi satellite in high school the hemi was removed but the car still sits in a field behind my grandparents old house that was given to my cousin !
He is Canada's answer to Mark Worman.
Love that low Hemi rumble! Sounds great with Headphones on!
We didn't have any issues starting it up after towing it to the body shop....but...driving it on the ice from the trailer to the doors of the body shop was interesting....lol
What no rope?????
Nick don"t want to give it back
Superb Work Nick n Crew Thanks For this Awesome Video Happy St Patrick’s Day 😀😀😊
Chris Chiampo A men
Nick, Would you drill the pistons for oiling on a 69 pontiac 400, @366HP ? Or is it only for my big block Mopars. Thanks, I enjoy Engine Department
Scott Holtzman. I usually drill any engine type. I drill only if they are forged pistons. Thanks for watching.
No sealant between the gasket and windshield frame? Hope so, that’s how the water gets through.
In joy the the stuff Nick works on!!
What, no shop door hoses on the tailpipes?
Dam right old school. I need 340 heads on a 318 block 1987 I hope will fit thumper. Cam
??????? Will that fit
The heads will bolt on he just needs exhaust manifolds, intake from 340. 1987 what block is my question. Most people don't know what blocks were made for cop cars and what wasn't.
It's Sweet bad Ass, MoPar Hemi.
The HEMI MAN NICK. HE'S
BAD ASS TOO.
Back in the day, lol, they used to use a piece of twine to put the windshield in .lot quicker.
Saw a 164 on the road in Mass. yesterday. Liked the 142 I had but it 'd have been better with a 340 in it
That car was the most feared car of those years, there was nothing faster, unless it was modified.
Nick, you asked. The factory installed the rubber on the glass then set the bottom in place & roped in the sides & top. Takes only a couple of minutes. Thanks as always.
Ripstitch Upholstery. I always wondered, because on the assembly line, things have to move fast. Thanks.
What's the history with the Alabama tags on the front of the 66 hemi sattelite? I'm from alabama, and that kinda caught me off guard.
The Satellite spent some time in Alabama and in New York, if the old tags and stickers are anything to go by. Thanks for watching in 'Bama!
Great video Nick! I love the 82 83 Volvo 242 GLT with a B230E plant. In the right hands those cars can be driven far beyond most skilled drivers ability. To bad most are gone with wind here in Ontario.
Awesome vids :)
Volvo 164 - The fuel pump is mounted upside down so the suck and feed will be reversed. There should be a phenolic plastic spacer for heat insulation between the pump and the block and a gasket either side. This is essential to get the pump actuating arm to work through its correct angle.The spacer and gaskets are the same as the ones on the B18/20. I think the pump is the same too.
If you need the spacers and gaskets talk to Rhys Kent at Island Automation in BC. He can also rebuild your carbs if needed or at least supply new diaphragms.
www.sucarburetors.com/
Deluk. Yes you are correct, the fuel pump is upside down and the insulation was reinstalled. I had a few comments on this issue. Thank god I did not start it yet. Thank you for your input.
Just subbed, really enjoying your channel!
Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
