    My New (to Me) 73 Imperial LeBaron

    Yes as Jefferson did not code A package codes like other plants did. You won't find many A series sales codes on a Jefferson plant tag (exceptions exist) Jefferson and Lynch Road plant had different tag coding protocols and formats compared to other plants.

    My New (to Me) 73 Imperial LeBaron

    Thank you. Yes, the car does not code for the Trailer Towing package so the hitch et al were probably added after purchase. However, it appears the buyer anticipated adding the hitch by buying the suspension.

    440 engine making a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak, but no leak is found

    Air is leaking by the rings, normal. Don't remove the valve cover, it's a waste of time. Remove the exhaust manifold, you will see the black soot at the leak, or a blown out manifold gasket.

    '67 Fury- Air Cleaner Question

    I believe the raised ring around the wing nut is smaller in diameter on your air cleaner than the pie tin pictured...think the repop pie tins are made to fit the HP unsilenced or certain dual snorkel air cleaners

    440 engine making a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak, but no leak is found

    idk if it runs fine and just has a noise I'd be looking for a cracked exhaust manifold or gasket leak...even up into the heat riser on the intake...I'd at least give it a compression test and/or leakdown test before I started pulling the head

    My New (to Me) 73 Imperial LeBaron

    HL2 is correct. That color is designed to match the color of your interior. I remember a thread where someone showed how that looks, after taking out the interior door panel foremother reason and using the opportunity to document the feature. @CBODY67 @saforwardlook

    Driveline noise/drone/vibration

    Not at this point. If this doesn't cure it, I'll look into pinion angle and probably take the driveshaft over to a local driveshaft shop. I'm running out of driving time though... Winter is coming and I need to get a few things done before it gets too cold.

    WANTED Road Wheels - anyone?

    Thanks for the heads up on the mailbox. I’ve been trying to delete the messages and haven’t been able to. I’ve selected the boxes and trashed them. It then shows “no messages”, but when I try to send you a message it tells me the mailbox is full. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

    Brake issue. Master cylinder?

    Probably, but pull the back drums and look at the wheel cylinders, rubber lines etc. I think the fluid is leaking past the seals and filling the rear, but I can't say I've ever seen that happen. Nope... There is no proportioning valve in a drum brake car. People like to call the distribution...

    Driveline noise/drone/vibration

    Keep us posted! Are you going to follow-up at all on the out of phase issue? It seems worthwhile since you've got the drive shaft out of the car.

    61 carpet in a 62 ?

    I have a 62. I know the hump is smaller in the 62 then the 61 do to the transmission change. Problem is that you can't find molded carpet for a 62, only the 61. 62's are all sewn. So has anyone ever attempted to put 61 carpet in a 62 and can say how it fits?

    Windshield wiper switch operation

    Well after many night and much frustration I got them to work properly. The whole problem was a grounding issue, but not where you might thing. I took the switch apart multiple times cleaning the contacts inside, one of the metal tabs that bends over to hold the switch together clamps onto a...

    NOT MINE No Reserve 1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Coupe 440 on BAT

    Did not anyone notice the extreme orange peel which is more than it should be even in 1978. This particular area is bad while other areas looked much better.

    Driveline noise/drone/vibration

    I think the tail shaft bearing is OK. I inserted the yoke and it seems to have a decent fit. Almost all of that sticks out of the trans with the short seal. I'm going to put a proper seal in it while it's apart and I'll polish up the yoke. NAPA had the front U-joints in stock and the rear...

    440 engine making a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak, but no leak is found

    Oh, also of note, it doesn't smoke either. Also, could a diluted oil cause these symptoms? I believe the oil is diluted with gas (this happened before trying to work the bugs out of the efi system).

    440 engine making a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak, but no leak is found

    I actually do have a small cam and looked into the cylinder, but didn't see anything crazy. Piston did appear to have 2 bevels or something along the front edge of the piston (towards front of engine) But they seemed more like they were made that way vs damage. I'm not sure what stock 440...

    440 engine making a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak, but no leak is found

    Might need to get a "Critter Cam" or borescope attachment for your smartphone to look inside the cyl itself. Via the spark plug hole. If the compression is going into the crankcase, the amount of "blow-by" should be much greater. Remove the pcv valve and also the breather on the rh valve...
