With having swapped as many parts as you have, it seems to be something in the assembly of that particular wheel as opposed to a part issue. You mentioned you installed two different brands of hardware, but are all of the hardware components (springs, adjuster wheel, etc.) installed in the...

There are only a couple of battery manufacturers for most of the automotive battery brands sold in the US. The ones made by Johnson Controls used to be really good quality and we personally always got good life out of those. We were loyal buyers of our local Farm and Fleet brand that were...

My $0.02 - wheels alone will greatly change the attitude of the car and are easily swapped again later. I'd start with just the wheels, drive it a bit so you can evaluate how you're feeling about it, and go from there. I would do white letter tires for sure, paired with black 15" steel wheels...

Thanks Wyatt! I had a great time. Lots of nice cars and great people as always.

My work schedule for the weekend is still tbd, but my dad and I are tentatively planning to come down in the 1966 Fury III survivor that I had desperately attempted to have ready for last year's show. I also have parts for the following cars if anyone needs something and wants to message me...

Could this be part of the transmission tail mount on the crossmember? It looks like it's a plate or shim for mounting, like might be there.

You could try Murray and see if he has a good one from one of the cars he has parted out. Text, email, or call: www.cbodies.com

Sometimes you have to prime a new pump a bit. I usually like to pull the feed hose off and squirt in a little wd-40 or something. That gives it some liquid inside to help start the pump/vacuum draw.

The '62 is a very elegant, beautiful year for Imperial. Hopefully your grandson will take interest in it and work on it with you. Best of luck!

The best we could come up with is that it precedes when we purchased the '68 Newport Custom. I'd guess the photos are from the 90s.

I recognize the tower that is just visible in the upper right corner of the first New Yorker photo as being from the Iola, Wisconsin car show, which I have attended many times. I'm unsure of the year. I'll see if my dad knows more. Also, if you can find an old WPC roster (maybe around the year...

Sorry this took so long, but I believe the photos we have are your car! We purchased the Newport Custom in the early 2000s and the owner had both of these cars, but was not selling the New Yorker at the time. The photos do not have a date, but they were taken before we purchased the Newport...

How much are you looking to get for the Powerflite adjuster?

Do you have any of the tools for the older cars, such as '40s-'50s?
