Yes it is.

I see you're in San Jose, my home town. I moved to Hollister to take advantage of the open spaces and property values. You could do much worse.

1971 Imperial Coupe. The really bright, careful and super-mechanic previous owner/mechanic apparently ignored the proper way to jack up a unibody Imperial and placed the floor jack under the rear floor pans. On both sides. More than once, I believe. The result is footwells in the back raised 2...

If you do find a bad timing chain, it should be pretty straightforward to replace. Remove the radiator and condenser for access. When installing the new one, make sure the oil flinger is on the correct way and pre-lube the chain generously.

Ditto - that is a beautiful automobile. On the 413's, wear in the distributor drive can mimic timing chain wear. Wear can occur in the quill that drives the distributor shaft as well as wear on the driven portion of the distributor shaft. Just a couple thou here translates into a lot of timing...

Actually, if it is a 4 track unit, those cartridges are not 8 track compatible. The 4 track cartridge tape is driven by a capstan that emerges from the bottom of the unit, and inserts through a hole in the front right of the cartridge. The 8 track cartridge has no such hole, and the tape is...

By 1967, MoPar was recommending the MoPar fluid. Using Type F ATF is not going to hurt anything, but it would be a good idea to change it out during your next maintenance interval to the modern synthetic PowerSteering fluid available on all the parts store shelves. ATF+4 will work well too.

ATF type F is specified and correct for early Chrysler and Imperial power steering systems. What year is your Imperial?

Worn out PS pumps show the symptoms you describe: poor performance at idle, belt chirping. You should not convert one pump type to another. Stick with what the factory installed. Fix all the leaks, especially if in the high pressure hose. The pump will usually go bad before the box does. When...

Find just about all the Thermoquad information you need here: A Carter Thermo-Quad Guide I've found that once you get the Tquad set up, per factory specs, it is an outstanding carburetor.

Very helpful! Thanks.

The ammeter is missing from my 71 Imperial. For those of you with a 1970 - 1972 Imperial handy, is the "D" and the "C" printed on the ammeter itself or is it printed on the clear window for the ammeter? It's hard to tell from this photo:

Not too sure about 1968, but you may find that the glove box lock will work with any round-head trunk key.

See the image of the 1971 panel, with ammeter.

Need just the 1971 Imperial ammeter, but will accept the whole gauge panel. See photo for correct 1971 style, at lower right of panel.

Prefer to get just the ammeter for a 1971 Imperial, but if you've got the whole panel, that will do.

Great automobile! Looks like its got the gas heater option and is a later model run as evidenced by the fender stay brackets. You've got the optional power antenna and right-side mirror. Needs a vacuum tank and power brake booster. Where has it spent most of its life?
