I see ... when the manual says what it does about the "cold check" it doesn't mean the car motor is not running and these are the results you should see, etc... it's just means IF for some reason you have to check the levels BEFORE the motor has reached normal operating temp, and is still...

So I first checked it on 12/22 when engine was at warm operating temperature ( level ground) and I cycled through the gears, stopping in "N" and leaving it there as I checked. That's when I got the very low readings. I immediately checked it a number of times after that, (same day ) just to be...

So I started this thread because after performing a check w/ the car hot. I found I needed to add more fluid according to my dipstick readings, which had the fluid level very low ...at the very tip of the dipstick, about the length of a pencil eraser. Looking at the feedback here, I went and got...

Never can learn too much on this topic ....great info, thanks guys

Okay friends ...merry Christmas first of all to the forum members. But here's my dealio. I need to add some transmission fluid to my 1965 Imperial Crown. It is the original motor ( no rebuilds ) and has 90+ thou mileage to date. From what I've read Dexron III, or Mopar ATF+4 are both good modern...

A lively forum topic ...good to see all the great feedback. So I was able to finally check out the hoses. From all that I've seen here and from my own research on the routing, I was 99% convinced that my hoses were switched down at the water pump. I made the swap, and did so w/out too much mess...

yeah that's what I think too ..needed some other eyes on it. I guess there's no potential to damage anything if I go ahead and swap-em at the water pump and see what happens.

ok I think I may be close to knowing why the heat comes and goes. Thanks to the input so far from the forum. I watched many Master Tech videos on You tube in and around the 1965 years regarding heating and A/C operations, etc... In one video they where talking about possible issues w/ the heat...

Ok tested for bubbles ...never really saw anything but a little foamy, and maybe 1 tiny bubble. Like before the heat was hot or warm when I turned it on, but will it stay that way ...that's my problem. The warm goes away and it's just blows unheated air. SO the fact that it's warm now ...really...

Does anyone have a picture showing the proper connections and routing of the heater hoses, for an '65 Imperial w/ A/C ?

I have the manual and I did not see the routing of the hoses anyplace.

Should I also run the Heat during test?

Coolant is at proper level. What's the "burping" procedure ... where do I pat it :)

I have for your consideration an always frustrating problem ...The Intermittent problem. Had some work done on my heat/Ac system...specifically the heat function. The heater core had to be serviced ( re-cored ), the slider temp control cable re-attached ( and tested), and a couple new hoses. The...

Hey! I may have no problems. So I remembered that when I first had my Dad push on the gas pedal ( w/ the car not running )and he said he could feel the linkage to the AP resist him, and he could only push down an inch or 2. Well at the time we did NOT have the choke and throttle at the carb in...

Yes, he's been a great help to me on this project. He thinks ( and may be right ) that I shouldn't have any added resistance on the gas pedal, because that's how it is on his car, but I don't think his is an Imperial ...and so maybe it's diff for me. Just looking for a viewpoint from another...

So friends, I recently got the linkage for my Auto Pilot, ( mine was missing ) and attached it. For my '65 Imperial Crown at least, the connection at the Auto Pilot ( AP ) is at the lower arm of the spring coil, what the FSM call's the "exterior arm". Which apparently is not where it usually...

Hey thanks, I think for now I'll just grab the entire system from out of the old Imperial and figure out what to do w/ it later ...when I get the time.

Hey forum friends, I have my eye on adding a working automatic trunk release to my 1965 Imperial crown, from off a friends '65 Imperial parts car. My question is; Is the wiring in the Imperial pre-plumbed for all accessories, whether one's car has the accessory or not? Like if I pull out the...

well, in pealing this onion it's gotten a little stinkier. I was testing the control cable w/ the dial control up front. I noticed that it would turn and turn in any direction and not hit a stopping point. In the service manual it says that it should have a stopping point ...this is how you...
