    Retrofitting power vent windows into my '73 Imperial

    Funny enough, I just had a brief look at it yesterday after having done nothing about it for 5 months (Various other maintenance related things cropped up.) I realized that the switch panel I bought doesn’t have power locks (which I had assumed were standard). So it looks like I’m going to...

    1973 Imperial Rear window regulator clock spring

    Hey all, I was swapping the motor for my driver's side rear window when the regulator clock spring unwound and came off. All digits still intact and no damage to door components thankfully. I'm at the reassembly stage now but am stuck as I don't know how much tension to put on the clock...

    Retrofitting power vent windows into my '73 Imperial

    Unfortunately the wire connectors were chopped off when I got to them but I'm hoping i can figure something out for that.

    Retrofitting power vent windows into my '73 Imperial

    Hey all, I'm toying with the idea of retrofitting power vent windows into my '73 Imperial. I have a set of vent windows and front window glass, the motors, switches and seals. Just wondering if anyone knows what else I might need. My Imperial wasn't optioned with them but would it still have...

    1973 Imperial HB1

    I've only seen pictures of them but they looked like yours (looks stock). From what I've seen, most cars do not have them including my own. Would be interested to know what made specific cars get them vs not.

    Power steering spool valve adjustment

    I'm not sure we had the same initial problem. My steering only got messed up when I tried to replace the seals on my valve body (I didn't touch the PS box itself). The O rings do play a factor though. The first time, I used thicker O rings and my steering had this problem, after I tightened...

    The other 4 I’ve highlighted in this picture (5 in total). They have to be the exact, correct size/thickness.

    Yes, that O ring (and the other 4).

    Power steering spool valve adjustment

    Well, after redoing this thing 3 times I've finally fixed it... Turns out it was the O rings I replaced. The ones I put in were so close to the original ones that came out of it but were ever so slightly thicker. I wouldn't have thought this would have made a difference but it did. I bought a...

    Rest in peace 1973 Imperial

    Sounds good, my car has the "Parchment" interior so the blue isn't much use to me. As for the rear doors, I have both. I'm not sure if the fronts are the same as the rears, I got the doors for the glass anyway so I don't need the regulator either. I'll ask him again about the fender tag.

    Here's the video of what's going on. This video was taken with the front of the car lifted off the ground.
