    Ignition Switch for 1958 Imperial

    What type of switch is used on 1958 Imperial models? It is a kind with 3 screw posts in the back or 4? Does it connect to the dash with a screw bezel or a set screw in the back? Does anyone have a part number? -Gregg B.

    Horn constantly staying on when key is turned on.

    On my '58 Imperial, I managed to get 2 of the 3 horns working. However, they were constantly staying on when the key was turned on. I thought it originally was the relay, so I bought a new one. Still constantly on horn. Next I looked at the switch in the steering wheel. I removed it and checked...

    Carlisle 2025

    Anyone going to Carlisle this year that lives near or will be going through Minneapolis? I can't go myself, but I'm looking to return a couple brake drums to a vendor that will be there.

    Rear Speakers

    Has anyone installed rear speakers in a '57-'59 Imperial? I assume the openings in the rear deck behind the seats are made to accept 6x9's, but not sure. It looks like I may have to do some cutting on the cover to be able to hear the speakers as well.

    Horn repair

    Has anyone here ever tried to repair a horn? It's a large Autolite out of a '58 Imperial. I would like to get this original horn back in working condition, like the other 2 in the car. Are there any repair shops that do it?

    1958 Trunk and glovebox keys

    Does anyone know if the trunk key is exactly the same as the one for the glovebox for '58 Mopars? I mean EXACTLY... not like some older GM cars where the glovebox only uses half of the length of the trunk key. What I am trying to do is get a key made off the glovebox lock, in hopes of it working...

    Oval air filter part numbers

    Does anyone have the WIX or NAPA Gold part numbers for the 1958 or 1959 Dual quad oval air cleaner elements? Are they different part numbers for 1958 and 1959? I ask because I have come up with varying results looking online. -Gregg B.

    Bake booster to Vacuum canister hose size.

    Can anyone tell me the size of the vacuum hose between the brake booster and the vacuum canister, as well as the hose between the manifold and the canister? This is on a 1958 Imperial. -Gregg B.

    Outside Remote mirrors in 1958?

    Did Mopar cars even have a remote outside mirror in 1958? While doing some research, I cannot confirm this. It looks like the remote outside drivers funder-mount mirror did not debut until 1959 (fall of '58 for '59 models). -Gregg B.

    '58 Imperial Wire Wheels and Tires

    I'm looking for a set of wire wheels and tires for a stock '58 Imperial. The wire wheels would be the classic-looking Chrysler style wire wheels with spinners. I'm thinking getting 15", even though the original wheels are 14". Or, is that a bad idea? Also, I may want to go with a new modern...

    I'm looking for a source to decode the "fender tag" on '57-'59 Chryslers and Imperials. Is there something available out there? -Gregg B.

    Original Carter to Edelbrock AVS2

    Car is a '68 Imperial with a 440. Instead or rebuilding the original carb, I decided to change to an Edelbrock AVS2. I believe I have everything set up correctly, as it runs and idles great. I still have to hook up the electric choke, but I will try to find a place at the fuse box under the...

    Engine bogging down on acceleration

    The engine is a stock '68 440 non-HP 350hp. It has also been converted to electronic ignition a few years ago. I'm starting to get some hesitation on acceleration from a stop. The harder you try to accelerate, the more pronounced the hesitation. The engine runs great at idle. The engine also...

    '66-'68 Tilt-Telescopic Steering Wheels

    Just a quick question on the '66-'68 Tilt-Telescopic steering wheels. Are the wheels all interchangeable between years? I'm not talking about the columns...just the steering wheel itself. -Gregg B.

    Recasting steering wheel options

    I've been looking at getting my tilt/tele steering wheel repaired/recast on my '68 Imperial for some time now. I do understand that Dennis Crooks at Quality Restorations is probably the best out there. However, he is also likely the most expensive. I was quoted $2300. This, I cannot totally...

    Options for steering wheel repair.

However, he is also likely the most expensive. I was quoted $2200. This, I cannot totally justify given...

    All power windows suddenly not working.

    All of a sudden, all my power windows are not working. This is in a '68 Imperial. I'm figuring it's one of 3 things. 1.) Loose wire at main switch or elsewhere in circuit. 2.) Main switch faulty. 3.) Circuit breaker failed. I' going to check the circuit breaker first. It's my understanding the...

    Removing/changing power window motor

    I have to remove/replace the power window motor on a '68 Imperial. It's located on the rear passenger 1/4 on a 2-door HT. Do I have to block the regulator mechanism before I unbolt the motor, or is the spring tension forcing the window up? I just don't want the mechanism to come crashing down on...
