Check the vacuum advance on the distributor for your hesitation. I will effect low speed and throttle response. If you manually apply vacuum to the tube it should move the arm inside the distributor. Then maybe carb accel pump if your timing is correct.
Little update. Replaced the carb, and the distributor (bad vac advance) Engine runs great aside from a few minutes of smoke at startup probably valve stem seals. While we had it up on the lift I changed the transmission filter just for the heck of it. The old pan gasket was leaking bad so I...
We pulled it and the little plastic filter pickup was rock solid and had just sitting on the inside of it. Removed it completely for now but will have to open it up again to put some stainless steel mesh in place of it.
Runs and drives now. Just drove it around town a little bit and the motor...
Sadly, it would seem someone decided to put a 318 in that parts car. As much as I would like the trans and rear, its buried in the woods and no way to get it out reasonable without having to cut out some small trees and stuff. Plus I don't have anyplace to put it. I'll take what I can from it...
So as an update, I found a bad relay that was holding out power to the windows. It was actually inside the drivers side cowl by the emergency brake next to a set of 3 breakers. Its the "Power Window Relay Mopar 3004187". I jump it out if I want to roll the windows up or down. Anybody know of a...
I'll do ya one better and post all the pics I have, which isn't many. Guess I'll tell the very brief story about this car. It's been sitting on the side of the road FOREVER. I ride past it occasionally and think how awesome it would look lowered a few inches, not too much though because I still...
Believe it or not, the brake pads look like they're brand new both front and back. The disks have alot of rust but I believe if I just get them cut enough to get all the surface rust off and ignore taking them down to smooth out any pits they'll last a long time. I'm hanging on a hope and a...
I looked at the 67 briefly. It a 4 door, has a black interior. Unlike the 68' which has been sitting out in the open since the mid 90's this one has been sitting in the woods. I'm supposed to go there one day this week to pick some stuff like master cylinder, brake booster, front calipers, break...
Thanks for the great info guys.
I was holding off on buying that shop manual in hopes of eventually finding it someplace for free. I just sprung for it. Considering 90% of anything electrical isn't working, I'm gonna need it. No blower motor, no dash lights. I got parking and headlights, turn...
Greetings,
I recently purchased a pretty sorry looking, but rock solid 68 imperial thats been sitting for close to 20 years (outside). Super solid car, but I am having some electrical issues. At the moment I'm concentrating on the power windows. I cannot for the life of me find a decent wiring...
