I've had this problem with more than one Imperial (of the 28 I've owned), but usually in the front, and usually because the brake hose for that wheel had internally collapsed and was holding pressure against the shoes, which heated up the drum. In the back of your 65, there's only one brake...

I'll take it. Please advise where to send check Norm

Nice guy, too.

My 64 Imperial convertible has a leak that is coming from the area where the Park Lock cable goes in to the back of the transmission. I can find new cables (Herb's/Imperial Services/Ebay), but I could use a little tutorial on the actual process of replacing it. It seems this is a twofold...

I sold Jim the lilac Le Baron. It was an EXCELLENT car.

I am selling my 1964 Imperial crown convertible. It was equipped at the factory with every single option available in 1964 EXCEPT ONE: Radio Reverberator. All power windows work, both power seats work, power vents work, power antenna works, power trunk release works, Auto Pilot feeds back but...

Sorry, I did not see your post. By now you probably figured it out, but there is not a third bolt on the Ranco valve, only two. It takes a bit of wiggling and a disconnected heater cable to get it out. If you try to do it with the cable still connected you'll have a hard time.

Interesting. The antenna cable is a poor friction fit and appears to be incorrect for the application. I have ordered another one. I guess if I'm lucky between the better cable and some trimming work, this may be solved. Thank you

No ignition static.

I have the FSM but when it has been a trimmer issue in the past there has always been at least one AM station that could be tuned in, while in this case there are none. Still, I think it is a great suggestion which I will try, thank you! UPDATE: I just read the chapter, but it does not state...

I just re-connected the factory AM/FM radio in my 1964 Imperial. It had been bypassed and disconnected 30 years ago by a prior owner who wired in a Sanyo AM/FM stereo radio and cassette player. Now that I've hooked it up again it plays nicely on FM, but no AM. There is a static blip when I use...

I have an exhaust manifold for the driver's side of a 1959 383. No visible cracks or defects. $50 plus shipping (or reasonable offer)

Bars are indexed incorrectly. Remove bars, turn 1/4 or so and re-insert, and then try tightening again.

I was in the same predicament but found a set of NOS 66 Imperial drums (still in the box) less than 100 miles from me, and I bought them. I know, what were the odds?? Yes, very expensive. Fast forward to now, I put maybe 200 miles on the drums (never cut them) but removed them when I sold the...

From the pictures it appears the car was originally equipped with Auto Pilot (see wheel on dash behind stalk control). That would account for the correct assemblage of a factory installation under the hood. My guess: the factory controls on the dash failed and the person before you "McGuyvered"...

Thank you, much appreciated. I have been in touch with this fellow. He does not seem to know if the seat motors work-but he assumes they do because they came out of a low mileage car. I need more reassurance than that kind of assumption.

White is best, but let me know what you have.Thanks

I'll take the 64 am/fm bezel. You can probably fit it in a Priority medium box $16 commercial price or $18.40 regular price. Please let me know where/how to pay. I can do Paypal or Zelle. Thanks, Norm Silverman 991C Lomas Santa Fe Drive, #428 Solana Beach, CA 92075

My first new car was a 1976 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham with the first year 400 ELB. It ran flawlessly. The only electrical/ignition problem that ever presented itself was a blown ignition resistor (the white block thing) during the first year of ownership. Nothing more.

I use Autolite 85 in my current 66(440) imperial and in all of the preceding 26 Imperials before it with 413's and 440's. I have found that the Autolites resist pinging on today's reduced octane fuels much better than any other plug
