Here are a few pics of the hose before and after. From my notes, I used three rear flex lines from a W200 PICKUP 1969-1973

I replaced my Imperial hoses with 72 Dodge pick up truck hoses for extra length. I wasn't able to get clippers off with out really forcing the hose. On the rear tho original hose would be stretched so much it was stopping the rear axel from fully hanging. You will have to do some researce on...

I stay with ported. Find the initial timing your engine wants with vacuum gauge on manifold vacuum and a tail back timing light. Great info on Tall Johns fun shop.

Yes on 592. Remove bolt, one at a time. Clean and use thread sealer on bolts Retorque as per service manual

You may have to reset the switch in the combination valve. You will find the info in the service free service manual at www.mymopar.com Are you able to bleed your brakes? This is a GM video but Chysler used the Kelsey Hays iron valve as well.

Sounds good, but if engine not happy you just have to keep tweeking. Sounds like you know the ins and outs of the distributor pretty good. Hardest part I have with setting the curve is the tiny retainer spring down inside the shaft. I only use premium fuel in my old cars.

I remember each cover as they came out. Wow.

I was just going to write about you hitting the heavy spring at 2000, the 73 service manual shows full advance at 4000 or rpm for example.

How is the wheel and tire package doing on the long drives? Nice and smooth?

great pics, I am following your posts of what looks to be a fun trip. I found Meteor crater to be a good stop along with all the old road side attractions and of course the Grand Canyon. Meteor Crater Natural Landmark | Visit Arizona

Black over burgundy is my favourite combe on the formal NYBs. Thanks for the find

looks great Do you have a link to the photos of his drawings of the Imperial? I found his pages, but have not located the Imperial drawings.

I would be interested in his prints if he does sell.

Looks nice, great wheel choice. Tire is a 275/? 60, 70?

Great plan. Have a fantastic road trip, I have done it a few times in the last twenty years in old Mopars and a Cadillac. Meteor crater was a good stop.
