Just tried to start my 67 imperial after lunch and it cranked and cranked (at good speed, so battery is good) but wouldn’t catch. In about the third try, there was just no power to the starter any more. No click, no turn, no nothing. There’s still power to the car. The dash lights up, windows...

I went to look at some seats for detmatt today up about a half hour from me. The guy who has them is an Imperialist I’ve met before from the Yahoo! Groups Imperial list, Norm. He’s got a nice original Imperial ‘vert and just got a gorgeous ‘64 Sedan de Ville. If I had off street parking, it...

My Imperial has always had a bit of a leaky power steering system. I replaced a hose, but it still leaks. Now, after I’ve driven it a bit, it doesn’t have much power at idle (like when parking) and makes noise. The reservoir is low-ish but not low. It’s over the vanes in the pump and just needs...

I'm looking at various engine combinations, and I'm confused about how to calculate the "Distance below deck" of the piston. It looks like a stock mid-60s 440 has a 3.375" stroke, 10.725" deck height, 2.067" compression height, and 6.76" rods. The most common measurement I see for "distance...

Looks like the paint shop lost the signal repeaters on my 1967 Imperial. The metal hood-bezel thingies are still there, but the lenses, lights, and wires are missing. Are these shared with other 1967 Chrysler products? Whether or no, any good suggestions on where to find them?

i just saw that the current issue of Mopar Action has part two of an engine story swapping on 440-Source heads. Anyone have the May issue who could share part one?

Anyone here from Kingston, TN? Sorry for the bad photo but I made my wife take it as we drove past.

Has anyone seen the new intake product from K&N? It's the "ECI Plate" and is designed to go under a carb to help it idle and accellerate more smoothly. I just saw the blurb on Hot Rod's website, and I gotta say: I don't get it. They think it's like the second coming, but it seems to me to be the...

I've been told that I'm actually in the final final stages of the paint project. The holdup now is hardware to reassemble the car. A lot of it was rusty and can't be reused. I don't have an inventory of what is needed yet, but I wanted to get ahead of it. How available is the hardware to...

Is there an “EFI-ready” tank available for ‘67 Imperials? Thinking of going that route rather than a surge tank.

As some may recall, I live in a beach town and don't have a place that I can leave my car apart and immobile. Therefore, I can only do limited projects that can be started and finished in a day. My rear springs sag a lot. A previous owner put on air shocks, but they leak air, so sag out after a...

I'm thinking of getting springs while my car is in Mexico. However I'm concerned about getting the right rate and ride height. Anyone have a set of specs for rear springs on a '67 imperial Crown Sedan?

So my question about why roofs rust under vinyl was mostly general, since I'm getting my car painted, and the roof is going to be prepped and painted properly, but it was on my mind. However, I've changed my mind and I'm not going to have the top material sourced in Mexico. The first source I...

There's a lot of periodic discussion about rust under vinyl roofs. A lot of the back and forth suggests that the tops weren't fully prepped and painted, or that blems got the vinyl, or stuff like that. Looking at my roof with the vinyl off, it appears fully painted, but still has a bit of rust...

I'm planning out the future rebuild of my engine, trans, rearend on my Imperial, and will be putting on a new exhaust at the same time. It's got logs with a single exhaust now, but I've got HP manifolds which will be going on, along with duals. Budget is an issue, so I'm looking to do everything...

Does anyone know anything about aluminum RB blocks? I see that World Products makes the cast iron MP block and made an aluminum block as well. They're obviously targeted to the racing market, but would they hold up as a daily driver with appropriate cams and components? I mean, nobody is...

My power steering box leaks, and it appears to be coming out of the fitting at the top of the box, that has the high pressure line. An Imperialist told me that many of the O-rings can be changed with the box in the car. Is this one of them? Anyone done it?

In my ongoing scheme to eventually swap my 727 for a 518, 70NPORT's post about the kickdown and the reply about interchangability of valve bodies got me thinking. I've read that all valve bodies can be swapped onto all torqueflites (at least, they will fit). If a 618 is a stouter transmission...

Are the nuts that the seat belt bolts thread into captive? I.e. if I unbolt them from inside the car, do I have to have someone on the other side keeping them from turning or falling off?

The driver's window in my '67 Imperial works great. Unfortunately, that's the only one. My passenger front window and the driver's side rear are slow, with the driver's side rear slowing to the point of not closing for a while today. Can anyone go through the regular culprits on slow windows...
