Using that same information in Summit for the normal Performer intake can nail down the difference quite easily. Edelbrock used to have graphics of intake height in their catalogs and website for their various intake manifolds.

By twisting the bar, is the car not being raised by the increased spring rate/pre-load? No need to get into the heat treat or other issues to explain this, as all of those other issues are "common" situations. As the amount of weight the bar is designed to "hold" remains unchanged. Just...

LOTS of carbon on that piston crown. Was the carburetor running rich all of the time? As there is no clean spots near the edges, looks like the oil rings were still working pretty good. Otherwise, the outer edges would be "washed' clean. Any performance issues with that engine? Just...

Yes, GEM was the brand name for the "high-rise" bumper guards. Available in a more-universal kit than specific-fit situations.

From what I learned in the 1980s or so, what Texas used then was a push bar built by a California company. Not OEM, but aftermarket specifically for the police car market. If a replacement was needed, the company in California was the only place to get them. Not sure exactly how that company...

The original place I heard the "Pacifica" name was on a concept car Chrysler build in the later 1990s, "Father of Magnum" that was on a fwd LH platform with 300M front sheet metal. Never saw production, for some reason. The later Pacifica model was Daimler's version of that car, but too wide...

In an old "Motor Trend" magazine tech column, a guy wrote in asking how to raise the ride height on his '65 Imperial as he drove over lots of "logging roads". Their reply included raising the front end via the torsion bar adjustment, with the mention of ride quality due to the raise in...

"Town & Country" was the model name for Chrysler-brand station wagons. Not used by other Chrysler divisions to imply "station wagon".

Seems like 1969 was the first use of the GM/Saginaw power steering pump? IF so, the part where the cap screws onto will be wider side-to-side under the cap's (smaller) contact area. Other pumps Chrysler used has completely round "tops" in that area. The Saginaw pump cap is plastic, with a...

Holley used to sell a "Thermistor" to put into the gtround circuit for the electric choke. It varied the current to ground by the temperature of the engine itself rather than the ambient air temp around the choke coil. Sounded like a good theory, but I could tell no difference, so I unhooked...

"Gas shocks" raise the ride height very little. Same with the "coil over" rear "Load Leveler" shocks. Shackles do NOT work on Chrysler rear springs, the main leaf gets bent down rather than raise the car. You CAN put more pre-load on the front torsion bars, though, but that also increases the...

DrawTite was one of the higher-quality aftermarket hitch brands, back then. Probably more robust and better attached to the body structure, too. I'm suspecting the SW suspension was more "HD" than the sedan suspensions. Either of the A-code trailer packages would certainly have it as a part...

Welcome and great score! A little buffing and waxing on the Chrysler acrylic enamel paint and some careful cleaning of the vinyl interior can result in a prett-much OEM look, or better. Any issues with the outside "wood trim" can be "patina"? Drive and get to know the car. How it acts and...

Seems like @Big_John has mentioned getting some more-universal "cut-to-length" inserts from NAPA?

Using the old Fram fuel filter, which is opaque, to replace the stock steel filter can be an option. Then using the "crystal clean" filter from the boat section can be the pre-pump filter, mounted below the exh heat. If the "sock" on the intake end of the fuel sending unit is still intact (or...

The slanted dial face and upside down pushbuttons would indicate a Chrysler/Imperial application.

I have heard of "skimming" as to connecting rod CAPS, but not the main part of the rod. From back in the day of the poured babbitt bearing Chevy inline 6cyl engines. To account for bearing wear. "Select fit" of sorts. As to "piston weight", there is a range of values for piston weights...

There are "load adjusters" to stop the "hyper-flash" when LED bulbs replace the normal bulbs in the turn signal positions. They have to be grounded to the body, I believe. They are available many places. The other issue which affects instrument cluster bulbs is accumulated ingress of fine...

I believe the same booster will go up into the 1970 model year, by looks. Possibly the related linkage, too?

As for the 100+ watt "landing lights", there is a circuit breaker in the back of the headlight switch (if not somewhere else) that is not rated for that much load. It will cut off the lights when that happens. Something else to consider . . . Discovered by a friend long ago, who was "going to...
