    It just sits in the barn. Still only has 35,000 miles.

    Safe line master cylinder?

    After some investigation with Napa, I ordered a master cylinder for a 74 Newport. Everything is identical except it looks a little taller and the bore size is 1 1/32“ instead of 1 1/8.” I also may need a 9/16-20 to 9/16-18 adapter for the one fitting. It might actually be the same one that’s on...

    Safe line master cylinder?

    This is the exact one that I bought and installed that was defective. Came in a Napa box and didn’t say made in USA anywhere that I could see. This is no longer manufactured or available. As you said, if they offered this for “C” bodies and Imperials I should have more options that will fit...

    Safe line master cylinder?

    I believe the cast is bad. Stripped threads underneath and the lid won’t seal. The one I took off was leaking at the booster. It was a Wagner I should have looked into rebuilding.

    Safe line master cylinder?

    I just read on the Imperial club site that a 1974 Newport mc will replace a 67-68 Imperial one. Sounds like it’s a little bigger but bolts right up. Anyone experimented with interchanging mc’s?

    Safe line master cylinder?

    I did locate a Raybestos and a Wagner on eBay but they’re listed for 1970 and up. Not sure if anything else is compatible or if this is another Imperial only thing. The Napa mc I just installed had the bottom piston replacement screw stripped from the factory and the lid leaks. I just want a...

    Safe line master cylinder?

    No. Centric seems to be the most available.

    Safe line master cylinder?

    The 67 Imperial master cylinder was leaking and since it was a replaced one already I ordered one new from Napa. Of course after installing it I discovered it was defective. I tried getting a replacement only to find out they are no longer manufactured. It wasn’t even a month later! After many...

    They very well could have been redone. The entire interior was taken apart and put together haphazardly. Little things that drive me nuts.

    Front seat isn’t ripped but the po put gorilla glue or something on it. Maybe it started to separate at the seam. Sorry some of the pics are turned sideways during upload. Not sure why.

    Whoa whoa whoa! It’s cold and dark and scary outside right now. I promise to get pics tomorrow. It has a Florida dealer badge on the rear deck lid. I bought it from the son of the owner who passed away. The son has a forties Dodge that he likes more so he decided to sell the Imp. The miles are...

    Very nice cars! Mine was apparently just driven and not kept up with. It’s slowly getting there. Definitely an addiction!
