What year Imperial?

My 1980 Newport 360 2bbl has a factory rotary Denso compressor. For that compressor to mount, the thermostat housing is rotated a bit for clearance. Look at the front of a Performer 360 intake and you'll see the dual mounting bolt holes for the t/stat housing. The Denso compressor is the...

Painting CAN happen, just use the anti-hard shine additives to get the correct paint finish for the column itself. Acrylic enamel with hardener for the steering wheel, I suspect. I would expect a bolt-in situation.

Jay Leno uses it in his vehicles. I considered it, but balked at the price and such. For somebody with a fleet and a good local supplier, it might save money after the initial installations.

The 1978 Chrysler FSM I bought at a swap meet is one book as the 1970 FSM is (for my DH43N0D), my '66 and '67 Chrysler books are. Same format in all of them. Spark plugs listed in the "Ignition" section. Perhaps, in some years, they made two books as some dealers didn't need "everything"? FWIW

Just as the release pin must be depressed and the ign cyl turned to release it, there should be a similar procedure to put it back in and lock it in place. Until that "lock-in" happens, it might release itself, I suspect.

Never have investigated this, but the best resource would be the Chrysler Parts Manuals for those years, I suspect.

I'm not sure what the prior owner did, or why, but the long-reach LA motor plugs never have been installed in the B/RB motors at any time in their life. Maybe a bad auto supply parts person? Or a bad "guaranteed to fit, with modifications" eBay listing? The saving grace might have been the...

Yes, specially if they were originally packaged in a smaller box! Folds and bends are not too bad for a year or so, but THEN with extended time, they can "take a set" and be difficult to remove when the part is taken out of the box, by observation. Back in the later 1970s, our '72 Newport...

I was referring to the bolt pattern on the back of the block, which is what the old-line Chrysler service manual told me, back then. At the time, he did not mention the rear crank flange issue, although that would certainly be an issue.

EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!! Tissue rejection!!!! It might take several months to get that chevy powertrain transplanted, even temporarily. With the same time and money, the Chrysler engine can be up, running, and getting other things done to it. In the middle 1970s, I helped a friend get a '50...

May need to look for the owner's manual online, too. Might check Crutchfield for a "fit kit" or similar? Does it have an internal amp?

Consider "trouble shooting" an "adventure, fact finding, and exploration" operation. To see what is going on or NOT going on. More fun that way. CBODY67

You can probably find "roll goods" weatherstrips in the back of the Steele Rubber catalog that might match close to what is on the car. From there, some miters at the top corners and grafting on the A-pillar and C-pillar ends to the new rubber, might be your only choices. In some cases, the...

(Nation wide in Germany?)

There can be two reasons. One @Big_John just mentioned. The other one is the brake system warning light SWITCH in the pressure block below the master cylinder (on a dual master cylinder OEM brake system). If one end of the system lost pressure, the internal switch moves off-center and turns...

Thanks for the additional information. Never did hear about any Clean Air Package information related to a different torque converter, when the system was being described in the magazines or Chrysler service literature. Only engine modifications to carb calibration and the ignition vac advance...

The red LED warning lights on the gauges are there to advise of "out of normal range" situations on each gauge. Triggered by switches on the individual gauge needles, I suspect. If the needles move far out of the normal or bad range, they also go out. I found that out one time on the temp...

Thanks for the pictures. NEVER was an electric choke on that motor. There is a small clip that holds the choke thermostat rod to the pivot mechanism. Does the pull-off still hold vacuum, or does it leak? Does the choke plate hang on the carburetor body as it closes? BEFORE you spend money...
