    I'm having an intermittent issue with the site, these show up quite often last couple days:

    Power steering failure

    Recently I dragged my '75 Imperial out of its hiding place and came to the conclusion that the power steering on it had failed. The power steering pump was struggling and at almost every steering input sounded like it was about to destroy the pump. It also provided little to no power assistance...

    NOT MINE 1968 Imperial 4dr - Netherlands

    The ad states this was an original Belgian car from Chrysler Antwerp and was supposedly used by Belgian royalty and/or embassy. No fendertag but there is some data plate where the VIN reads YH43K8C2288214, didn't find it mentioned on the site yet. They're asking €12.950 which is around $14.200...

    A guide to your Speed Control Servo

    Okay, maybe a more fitting title would be 'A guide to my Speed Control Servo' but I'm sure a lot of you have the same one as me. It's the later style unit with one vacuum connection and three electrical connections. I've been meaning to do a thread on it for a while now and I finally got around...

    Speed servo measurement please

    Been working on getting my speed control back up and running and I have found the issue with my servo unit. The vacuum inlet on this is actually a press in fit. Unfortunately, at one point mine came out of the housing. As there isn't a clear depth indicator I need some help for finding the...

    Ball joints grease

    Last weekend I got around to installing the new front shocks on my '75 Imperial (which was easier than I thought) so the front is on jack stands with both wheels removed. Got a good look at the ball joints and steering linkage and noticed all the grease nipples. This got me thinking and in my...

    Manage cookie settings

    Every time I open another post, forum, garage, or whatever page I get a pop up asking me about my cookie settings. Regardless if I continue with recommended settings this keeps happening and is kind of annoying. Happens on both my phone and laptop. It didn't used to do this before. What's going...

    Wetsand, cut, and buff - how to?

    Recently I painted my 1975 Imperial myself. It was the first time I did something like that so while I'm super happy with the results, the finish could be better. There's bugs, dust, overspray, and orange peel. It was recommended to me that with wetsand, cut, and buff the finish could probably...

    I painted my first car today!

    It's just primer for now, but I'm really pleased! I mean it when I say I'm not a body man so it took some time to get here (and will take plenty more time). Can't wait to get final colour on.

    Windshield sealant

    The vinyl top on my 75 Imperial was in bad shape and looked like some rust bubbling underneath. Luckily, metal is in good shape, no holes! Getting all the remaining bits of vinyl off however proved difficult, mainly around the windshield. I ended up pulling a lot of the old sealant out with the...

    Found '75 Imperial windshield trim clips

    Been working to fix up the roof on my 1975 Imperial and pealed off the vinyl that was on there. Had to remove the windshield trim obviously but the trim clips have pretty much disintegrated. If anyone has some they're willing to part with or knows a source from where to get these it'd be...

    Charvoal vapor cannister

    Quick question, my '75 Imperial has this vapor cannister as part of the emissions control and I think it's supposed to have some sort of charcoal. This one is empty so now it's kind of just venting to the atmosphere. The thing is, how am I supposed to open this thing to even think about...

    Sanding scratches - painting novice

    The paint that is currently on my Imperial is really bad, it's faded flat greyish. It had a slight mad max kind of feel but when I pulled it out of hibernation it just looks sad. So I'm gonna try my hand at painting this spring. Having never done this before I thought it best to start with...

    Door trim & mirror removal

    So here's the thing, I've never removed trim before but from what I can tell it's pretty delicate and easy to mess up. I'm looking to remove the trim on the top of the door, pictured below, and can't really tell how it's attached to the door. Also, the door mirror is being a real pain, can...

    Cylinderhead work - please advise

    Okay so I really enjoy reading build threads but I always get stuck on what I can do on my own engine and I end up reading about what cam everyone is using and what not. It's a bit silly as my '75 Imperial is not that good and I'm pretty much using it as a learning project. So to get my mind...

    Hi guys, Looking for a back-up light lens for my 1975 Imperial, like the one pictured below (not my car), preferably with the mounting hardware. Believe p/n is 3780718 and was used on 74-75 Imperial and 76-78 New Yorker. Don't need NOS, just something that isn't in pieces like my current one...

    727 band adjustment

    Quick question, my car is a '75 Imperial and the trans is a '66 727, do I just adjust to the specs in my '75 FSM or should I look for the '66 specs? Or would those just be the same..? My FSM says 2.5 turns for kickdown band and 2 turns for low-reverse band.

    U-joint replacement

    When I dropped my trans I noticed that there was play in the u-joints and they needed to be replaced. Got some new ones through rockauto but I have a couple of quick questions about it. 1. New ones have a grease fitting, do I need a specific grease or is multi purpose EP2 okay? 2. Read about...

    SOLD Part throttle kickdown module

    I'm currently awaiting parts for converting my 727 to a three pin neutral safety switch. So this seems like as good a time as any to also add the part throttle kickdown upgrade, seeing as the trans is off the car right now and already drained. The new to me valve body is a '67 so PTK should bolt...
