My friend is french. He bought his car at a very high price (more than 50 K$ i think) and he still had work to do on it because the car had not been driven since its restoration...

Chrysler's "Total Contact" braking system is a disaster, it has never been effective, every year they changed a part to "improve", in fact the only solution was to switch to the Bendix system in 1962 or 63... I changed everything on my Imperial and there is always a moment when it doesn't brake...

No , 5 x 5 1/2 . If the car has 15" wheels no problem, if it has 14" wheel (early cars) no solution except switch to 15" ... According to the slots in the wheelcover the car has 15" wheels.

Yesterday I went to see an Imperial 63 convertible to be restored. There is a lot of work, the pot metal parts are all pitted, the engine is disassembled, the fender shields, the radiator, etc. are missing. I took a pic of the data plate, can someone decipher the options? I already know it's a...

In my post (30) it was an original seal and i'm sure that the replacements seals are different, because also they 're used on 727 Tqf. Note that on original seal the larger side (not seen on pic) is flat, no groove. When we overhaul trans. we put the seal as seen on the right side on your pic.

A friend of mine is also selling his '57 Belvedere convertible. But it's in France (and the car was sold new in France with kph speedo). This is the original color, Burgundy; the guy who bought it in 1957 wasn't afraid to get noticed ! Note that the car have the front and rear bumper guards ...

I removed the seal from the housing and you can see itsn't an o-ring ...

I join two pics because the earlier transmlission (1956-58 1/2) have a different case that the later (59-61): the throttle lever / cable housing is removable on earlier and cast on the trans. case on later. You can see the seal , if i remember well it's not an o-ring, it is intalled on the...

I know well the cast iron Torqueflite, i've overhauled 20 or 30 since 20 years. It can leak by the cable (o-ring seen on the message of Loadrunner) but also by the axle of the throttle lever. Under the throttle lever lever there's a small seal and it's often by this location that oil comes out...
