Last year when I changed the manifold gasket in my '66 Imperial, I made sure to tilt and drain the compressor from the old mineral oil (I THINK it was the original oil - looked like espresso). It's the original RV2. Now I want to re-fill it with ester oil (for compatibility with R134a etc.). I...

I have observed the rubber starting to separate from the steel in the "Floating Power" engine mounts in my '66 Imperial. $189/pcs is a little out of my price range, so I have started preparing adapters to use Dodge truck mounts (for example Pioneer part no 602469 with built in strain relief)...

Instead of getting caught in the facebook feed I thought I would post some pictures from my ongoing project; Changing the lower control arm bushings in my incomparable Imperial. Maybe someone preparing for the same job can benefit from it. Helpful tips from "old men with hats" (and others) will...

I just posted this to the Imperial club mailing list and thought I would post it here as well. A small contribution after all the great info and tips I have read on this forum. All the rubber bushings in my '66 Imperial seems to have crumbled when I started driving it - after it had been parked...

I wanted to change the leaking axle seal and the reservoir seal on the power steering pump in my '66 Imperial, but it was a little confusing to find a correct seal kit as there as several makes and sizes of pumps. So I thought I would share here in case others are experiencing the same. The pump...

These years american style 50's inspired diners are becoming a thing here in Denmark. We went to the local (very successful) one to exchange pumpkins for milkshakes. I thought it made some nice pictures in the dark. Managed to park next to another mopar.

I am experiencing erratic firing in my Imperial at cruise with a very light foot on the throttle. There are probably a million threads about this topic, but I could not find any with a precise match. It only occurs when the engine is hot. I.e. after 10-15 min of driving. After installing a...

For your amusement and maybe inspiration, here is how I went about adding an electric fuel pump and a return style fuel pressure regulator. I spent a lot of time researching this topic, so I thought maybe others can benefit from that. The back ground story is: My Imperial had the mechanical fuel...

It turns out the heat riser valve in my '66 Imperial is moving freely. I rotated it "by mistake" when changing spark plugs. Actually I would have preferred if it where stuck open (I only drive in the summer). Now, I have doubts in which position to fixate it, to make sure it is open. The...

So I wanted to check the points gap on my Imperial ('66 - 440") for the first time. With the points on a lobe - they did not visibly open! The engine ran fine. It turned out the shaft in the distributor had a lot of play (I could get the point to open 3/64" (1mm) rocking the shaft back and...

Asking for a fellow Imperial owner, who has a '66 convertible. In each side in the very rear of the car, it has what appears to be a cast iron weight or block. They are attached to the outer bumper bracket and the floor. Can anyone explain what the purpose of these is? (I am guessing it is...

Would anyone be so kind and help decode this tag? The FSM helps decode the VIN plate - but not the tag. It is a 1966 crown coupe, delivered in Dec.´65 from the "west coast promo office" in Calif. I know it has (or had): A/C, tilt-o-scope steering column, vinyl roof.

Could any one on the forum help me with the dimensions and layout of the original muffler for this car? I believe my exhaust is mostly original, but someone changed the muffler, to what I believe is a wrong one (too long). In the process, they managed to bend the pipe that goes over the axle...
