    Vent window only works for a few seconds at a time / 73 Imperial

    Problem solved. In fact, the bimetal was the cause. This must be very accurately aligned. It took me several attempts to get it right, but now the engine runs as it should. Thanks to all !

    I'll have another go at that. I had already used 400 grit sandpaper. But maybe I caused the problem in the first place. I'm at war with multimeters and the like. I can't get to grips with them.

    I must have taken it apart 5 times, but I can't see any defects. Everything looks fine but the problem remains.

    No. I just put normal grease in there. Can it make that much difference?

    Vent window only works for a few seconds at a time / 73 Imperial

    A few days ago, my vent window motor suddenly stopped working. So I removed the engine and it seemed that the gearbox was stuck.

    Replacing the vinyl on a 73 Imperial sunroof

    Thx. At first I thought that Chrysler had only made a seam there to save material. But no, there was a weld seam underneath. I sanded it down and filled it to get a straight transition.

    Replacing the vinyl on a 73 Imperial sunroof

    . As there is no ready-made roof for the Imperial with sunroof, I had to make it myself. So I made a paper template and then cut it to size myself. Then I glued it together and had it sewn by a tailor.
