    '66-'68 Tilt-Telescopic Steering Wheels

    Just a quick question on the '66-'68 Tilt-Telescopic steering wheels. Are the wheels all interchangeable between years? I'm not talking about the columns...just the steering wheel itself. -Gregg B.

    Recasting steering wheel options

    I've been looking at getting my tilt/tele steering wheel repaired/recast on my '68 Imperial for some time now. I do understand that Dennis Crooks at Quality Restorations is probably the best out there. However, he is also likely the most expensive. I was quoted $2300. This, I cannot totally...

    Options for steering wheel repair.

    I've been looking at getting my steering wheel repaired/recast on my '68 Imperial for some time now. I do understand that Dennis Crooks at Quality Restorations is probably the best out there. However, he is also likely the most expensive. I was quoted $2200. This, I cannot totally justify given...

    All power windows suddenly not working.

    All of a sudden, all my power windows are not working. This is in a '68 Imperial. I'm figuring it's one of 3 things. 1.) Loose wire at main switch or elsewhere in circuit. 2.) Main switch faulty. 3.) Circuit breaker failed. I' going to check the circuit breaker first. It's my understanding the...

    Removing/changing power window motor

    I have to remove/replace the power window motor on a '68 Imperial. It's located on the rear passenger 1/4 on a 2-door HT. Do I have to block the regulator mechanism before I unbolt the motor, or is the spring tension forcing the window up? I just don't want the mechanism to come crashing down on...

    Correct plug wires for '68 big blocks

    I'm getting some conflicting information on the correct type of plug wires used in '68 for a 440 (non HP). Are all the boots supposed to be 90 degrees, for both to the plug ends and the distributor ends? Or, are the ends to the distributor supposed to be straight? I know that sometime like in...

    Sourcing '68 Imperial Brake Parts

    I'm looking at getting some replacement parts of my '68 Imperial. Most of the parts I see online are from Centric. Are these parts any good? The parts I'm looking at are the complete front disk calipers and brake hoses, as well as rear brake cylinders and shoes. Also, while I can fine...

    Correct Ignition for '68 Imperial

    I'm looking for a new correct ignition switch for a '68 Imperial. It looks like all I need to do is change out the key mechanism in the switch, which looks pretty easy. Is this the correct one for all '68 Chryslers and Imperials: US50 Ignition Switch & US12L Ignition Lock Cylinder combo kit for...

    Strange radio issues

    The radio in my '68 Imperial is acting strange. It will turn on and after 5-6 minutes or so, will quickly fade out, hearing no sound. Sometimes turning it off and waiting a bit will get it to turn back on, only to do the same thing again. Before that during the summer, I noticed that the radio...

    1968 Imperial stainless trim

    Does anyone know how to remove/attach the stainless trim on '68 Imperials? I'm talking about the two long rows of thin stainless trim along the sides. I assume it is some sort of plastic or metal retainers, but not sure. If those retainers are still available, that would also be appreciated...

    New Exhaust for 1968 Imperial

    I'm considering getting a new full exhaust system for my '68 Imperial. From what I seen, it sounds like the TTI 2.5" system with the Dynamax mufflers and Turndown tips are my best bet. Part #: https://www.ttiexhaust.com/Classics-Ex/C25MWM6573.pdf I'm wondering what others have experienced...

    Tires for '68 Imperial

    I currently have 225/75/R15s... but I was looking to upsize to 235/75/R15s... good idea or bad? Are they closer to the original size tires that came on the car when new?

    Adjusting trunk (deck lid)...

    How do you adjust the horizonal side-to-side mounting on the deck lid? Where would you shim it if you needed to move to the left about 1/4", for example?

    Best Oil for '68 440's...

    I'm sure this has been talked about before. But I'm curious as to what is the most-preferred oil out there for our original Chrysler Big Blocks. I'm talking about the '60s era engines out there with original heads and all. I was leaning towards something like Valvoline VR-1 10W40. Is there any...

    Best ECU for electronic ignition conversion

    I got one of those new Mopar Electronic Ignition conversion kits that comes with the orange ECU. I've always heard that this ECU is crap, so I'm trying to find the best one out there to replace it with. All is going into a '68 Imperial, if that matters...

    '68 Imperial under hood shots...

    While I've had many C-bodies in the past, this is my first Imperial, so bear that in mind. However, there are a couple of things that look out of place here. I assume this the voltage regulator, mounted on that plate on top of the inner fender? It looks factory, but does this car have factory...

    Brights not working...

    The brights are not working on my '68 Imperial I just received. It seems highly unlikely that all 4 bright elements are out. I suppose it might be the foot switch, or possibly something with the relay, but not sure... -Gregg B.
