Does anyone have a full list of options and how they map to the data plate on the 66 Imperials? Here's a picture of my plate... a few things I've managed to figure out, but there's several that I'm still clueless about.

Got a pic?Does anyone have a full list of options and how they map to the data plate on the 66 Imperials? Here's a picture of my plate... a few things I've managed to figure out, but there's several that I'm still clueless about.

The bottom of the rear seat is no big deal to remove. You push it down, then back to remove. It works better with 2 people. I don't think you will have to remove the seat back to get to the lamp, but if you do, it's easy too; just heavy!
Although I cannot decode the '66, your Shriner car should show the following based on some extensive research using a dozen or more 1964 Imperials of all body styles:
A: 5 Torqueflite
B: 2 Power Brakes
D: 4 Power Windows
E: 6 Power Vent Windows
F: 7 Power Door Locks
G: 9 Automatic Beam Changer
H: 7 AM Search Tune/Rear Speaker/Power antenna (H: 5 being AM-FM which Shriners did not get since it was not on the option list in mid-1963)
K: 1 Single Unit A/C (K2 would be Dual A/C)
L: 7 White Convertible Top (L5 for Tan and L6 for Black)
M: 7 Power Deck Lid Release
Q: 1 Tinted Glass
T: 2 Sold Unit
W: 6 Reverb for rear speaker
Y: 6 Dual Power 4 Way Bucket Seats
Additional codes not on the data tag:
82 WSW Tires
350 Auto Pilot
411 Seat Belts, 2 Front
463 Door Edge Guards (2 Door)
491 Manual Outside Rearview Mirror
522 Sure Grip Differential
617 Antifreeze
410 Tilt Wheel fell into the same category as AM-FM radio for the Shriner cars
What's wrong with your drums? Do they need turned? I thought there's plenty of shops around that can do this.Please do offer any other IMP info....like who repops brake drums??????
Well, here's my story, then I'll post some pictures...BTW, I'd love to see a few more pix of your Imps....esp. that '57! What's the stories on your cars?
Hi, My drums are ok, and given the amount of miles I drive the car it's not likely that I would need a brake job in the future. I was just musing a bit....I had massive issues with the brakes and drums on my 300C and fortunately Kanter repops them. While I had to return one drum due to manufacturing flaws, they sent a replacement immediately. The original drums on the C could not be turned. As for shops that do this kind of work around here, it's getting harder to find them. Actually the '57 brake drums are supposed to be arc-ground, too....but that's a lost art for sure. My concern with my '64 Imperial was that I thought I read that the rears were '64 specific (one year only??) and should the need to replace a drum ever came about, finding one could be a chore. I have since secured good, used spares, but with brake drums, I have always preferred "newbies" if possible.What's wrong with your drums? Do they need turned?
