72 Imperial Spotted in Canada

[Stormer]

I do too. Those days are long gone.

Not in Columbus they're not. The Jegs retail stores have a pretty incredible inventory.

Actually, I think we're jealous

Life without Jegs wouldn't be worth living. ;)

You need an Eddie 1411 carb. 750 cfm with an electric choke.

That's what I used on the 300

Columbus is a different place, a large suburban town with a thriving racetrack. Plenty of race track guys around the area, thats the place where a Jegs store can thrive.

Unfortunately I don't think that the track is thriving. The stands are empty 75% of the time. Very few events each year bring in many spectators & the weekly racing stuff is just racers & their friends/family. No spectators whatsoever.

I dont like the place, they seem to be unorganized and expensive. My assessment is probably off, I just thought it was doing good......... Do the Nationals still draw a huge crowd?

 

[Stormer]

They don't run them in Columbus anymore cuz the top fuel cars are too fast for the track. They run em up in Norwalk now & have for quite a few years.

I love the place & the people but I know exactly what you mean. It's only expensive when they allow outside vendors though.

I was referring to the Mopar Nationals

 

[Stormer]

Oh, yea that still brings a huge crowd. I thought you meant the spring nationals.

Here are the wheel choices for the Imperial.

18" with 3" white walls or so.

Both look old school pimp, so I will be kind a stay out of it

I'm gonna run the stock intake. What all do I need?

My cruise is all hooked up but not working. Any suggestions? I was gonna throw some vacuum at it & see what it does. Speedo is also off by about 7 at 65 (actual = 72). Not sure why.

You will need the following.....

I've talked to the Eddie techs in detail about this stuff. You need this to mount an Eddie carb on the stock manifold. You need a gasket on both sides of the adapter. Thick one goes on the carb side.

I needed this to hook up the cruise cable to the throttle adapter.....

Depending on what air cleaner you use, I used an Eddie 14"x2" air cleaner and I needed an air cleaner spacer.

Thanks, Bob. Jegs has all that stuff in stock.

One is old school & one is new school.

I went with air cleaner but mine doesn't have the Eddie script (my part # was Eddie 4224)

[polara71]

You're right but I just have nothing nice to say about either one

I like both of them. What is the link to them?

Those wire wheels look too "GM"ish for me. Shiny multi-spoke looks much better (without the positive offset).

Thanks.........maybe an hour or so to hook it all up. It's easy.
