    1975 Imperial build thread

    Thank you, I've heard for a lot of people that it's a drop-in replacement, in the sense that there's no grinding required, other people say that there is significant grinding required. Is it pretty much based on excess in the block casting? On my (now broken) starter, I found that the plastic of...

    1975 Imperial build thread

    I need some help with mini-starters. The original starter doesn't crank fast enough to start the car in colder weather, so I've decided to upgrade. I bought a new mini-starter from RockAuto, but it didn't fit and ended up breaking while I was torquing t down. The Problems: -The top mounting...

    1978 New Yorker build thread

    Thank you! As I've converted my Imperial to rear drums, I wouldn't need the extra capacity. I was more so wondering if the functionality/valving within the two were different. If I were to follow through with this idea, I'd have the original Imperial master+booster rebuilt, then reinstalled...

    1978 floor pans

    I've ran into that problem on my '78 Yorker. Unfortunately these cars are pretty much non-existent when it comes to reproduction and aftermarket parts, meaning he'll likely have to find a parts cars to cut them out of, or fabricate his own

    part info?

    That's a question better answered by somebody who has a parts book. If you can't find it through any of the major parts stores, you could probably get a used one pretty easily. I personally wouldn't even bother putting it back on, the whole EGR system is needlessly complex and the cars seem to...

    windshield replacement

    I don't believe anybody makes either, unfortunately. Windshields are normally sourced from parts cars, any '74-'78 C-body hardtop should have the same windshield. For weatherstripping, it's more likely to find it on a parts car, but there are a few places that still have N.O.S stuff in stock...

    part info?

    That is an EGR time delay controller

    NOT MINE 1974 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham - $15,800 (Vista)

    The seller likely just google'd "How much horsepower does a 440 make?" and got the response for a '60s spec engine. $16,000 seems steep for a sedan, but it's good that these formals are getting the recognition they deserve

    1978 New Yorker build thread

    I was unfortunately unable to find a complete build sheet in this car, they seem to all have been previously removed or destroyed by rodents. I was, however, able to find an "Electrical Build Card", which I hadn't even known was a thing before finding it. I also got a picture of the fender tag...

    Formal wheel opinion - Factory wheel covers or Chrome Road Wheels??

    While reading through the optional equipment list for these cars, I noticed that road wheels weren't available with the HD towing package or for the T&C Wagons. Does anybody know if there's a reason for this, are the road wheels weaker than traditional steelies?

    Help!!!! Column Assembly for a father son project.

    I don't recall exactly, but it looks like you have all the pieces to reassemble it. Mopar used GM's Saginaw column for the tilt/telescope cars, as such, you can find plenty of GM references online that will work for Chryslers. It seems that your horn insulator's broken, so you'll have to get a...

    137 mile 1978 NYB

    The brake master and booster don't seem to be original either. Interesting to see which parts have been replaced on such a low-mile car

    1978 New Yorker build thread

    I don't actually have any attachment to this car at all. The story, as it's been told to me, is that this was originally a funeral home car. After its retirement from the fleet, somebody bought it and used it as a daily driver until 2005, when a fuel line broke and it was subsequently parked. It...

    Next steps? '77 NYB w/400 4-bbl

    Make sure your timing is correct, these engines will happily eat almost any fuel mixture as long as the timing's set right. (If possible, check to make sure your transfer slots are set properly too). On my car, I had the timing severely retarded, it would idle decent, and high-RPM would also be...

    78 nyb running cold.

    What was the weather like when it was operating normally compared to when this problem started occurring? This may be too simple, but it's colder now, so the car might just be running cooler because of that. Even considering that it's been a mild winter thus far, it's still been sitting around...

    Broadcast sheet location? 1977 Newport

    For my '75 Imperial, I've found 4, one in the underside of the driver's seat, one on the lower part of the rear seat, one in the dash, and one in the rear passenger-side floor (under the carpeting and sound deadening). I also (so far) found one under the rear seat in my '78 NYB. Those should be...

    1978 New Yorker build thread

    Does anyone know if the master cylinder from an Imperial (disc-disc) is functionally different from that of a New Yorker (disk-drum) in any other way than reservoir size? As it turns out, both the master and booster of the New Yorker are bad, that leaves me with a choice on how to fix this...

    Good to hear that it's becoming a consensus. With '78 being a one year only top too, this'll save me a lot of headache
