I am sure once it is all finished, he will be doing some left lane driving. A 1969 Imperial has a great road feel at 120 mhp. (I know).

Great job Tim. You should be proud.

Please let us know how it turns out. Now that I have the Newport home, I am working on it daily. The trunk carpet just falls away in your hand.

They might look good, it's hard to tell. One thing to keep in mind, Ford products have a smaller wheel center than Chrysler products. Even thought the lug spacing is the same, the wheel still may not fit without some machining work.

With engine off, set timing mark to zero, remove distributor cap and rotate crankshaft counter clockwise until distributor starts to move. Note movement of crankshaft. If it is more than 10 degrees you have a stretched chain or bad camshaft gear.

That's OK. After all, I did wreck myself pretty good out in California. Besides, if you can't laugh with your friends, who the hell can you laugh with.

Trainwreck?

Hope this helps, 1966 Chrysler 300, 383 4bbl. No A/C.

That and the fact he came up with a fix to keep a nice Chrysler product on the road.

Glad this guy found a good solution to a problem that has plagued the Imperial owners. He would fit in so well on this site.

WOW.

Sorry for the double post.

The problem you discribred is pretty common but it does have to come apart to repair. Good thing about being a dealer mechanic in the 70's and 80's is I have done at least 500 theft repairs.

NO. You can do it. Talk to you later.

Taking the column apart is not a problem EXCEPT to when you get to the pivot. You will need a special tool to remove the pivot pins. These have to be removed to get to the lock mechanism. Getting ready for work but send me a PM with your number and I will talk you through it later. Bill

I still say we need an "I love it" emoji.

It does not get voltage from the starter, it gets 12 volts from the "IGN 2" feed on the switch.

Sounds like you have a break in the ignition "Run" circuit going to the ballast resistor. Turn the key to the run position and check for voltage on the blue wire going to the resistor. If dead, check the ignition switch, and wire from the switch to the resistor.

Your getting better at it. Keep up the good work.
