'67 Imperial Crown Coupe now added to the collection

Putting the new pan gasket wasn't too bad except I didn't take the AC compressor off and that did prove to be troublesome

I'm using a cool carb spacer which is made of aluminium with a heat resistance core in the middle, along with a cool sheet in between the bottom of the intake and valley pan gasket. My goal is to stop the gas from boiling and making hot starts easier

 

[GOLDMYN]

The spacer did raise the height of the carb so for now, I'll run this air cleaner and at car shows I'll put the original on. I'll have to wait for better weather here to find out if I was successful

I bought one of those cool carb spacers at the Nats last year and it's still in the trunk. I'll be interested in knowing if it helps.

 

[GOLDMYN]

well, it does fit good if that's any news

Thanks Matt, If I was to customize this car, I'd go with the black paint, silver interior and perhaps burgundy inserts in the seats, And to top it off, some nice wire wheels

Gotta know the RPMs when 2nd shift snaps my neck back HaHaHa

I know this looks stupid, I had an old RAC brand tach from the 60's and I attached it to a coffee cup holder I had . I centered it and sandwiched a piece of metal so I had some strength. Tomorrow I'll wires it up and see my results.

well, its been about a month since I last posted but been busy on the car show circuit and everybody loves the Imperial. runs good and get nice mpg, going to take it on a 300 mile trip this weekend. I'm afraid that will be my last with her. I went over to the dark side, don't know what possessed me, ah BS, sure I do. the new car (new to me)

is just a great looking car and I'm a sucker for survivors. I'll put The Imperial up on the appropriate forum later.
