1968 Imperial Page 2 Taken in 1996 at the Chrysler 300 Club meet in Spencer, South Carolina. The 300 medallion was wired to the grille as a prank. A pencil sketch by Don Warnaar. October 2019. The 68 parked next to a 2017 Scat Pack Challenger. Ying and Yang. This was my first drive in the 68. It was impressive. During the winter of 2020 the fuel sender problem is tackled. With the fuel removed from the tank, removal was easy. The J bolts had only a small amount of undercoating to be removed and then the nuts unthreaded easily. The tank dropped without a fuss, everything is rust free. The inside of the tank was like new. The sender was removed and the problem discovered: The rivet corroded and the strap disconnected. Electrically, the sender tests fine with low at 20 ohms and max at 76. I decided to buy a new sender and checked the resistance. It measures 8 and 78. Spot on in my opinion. A comparison of the position of the float at max and min positions says this looks good. Before going any further, I made a temporary fix to the original sender and connected to the sender wire, ran the float arm through its range and saw the dash gauge move from E to 3/4. I did the same test with the new sender and the dash needle moved from E to 5/8. I decided that was close enough and installed the new sender. The results were disappointing. 15 gallons of fuel in the 24 gallon tank and the needle moved to only 1/8. The plan will be to leave this sender installed and have the original repaired, and someday do it all over again. For now, the check gauge light goes out, there are no leaks, and I can estimate fuel with the odometer. With nothing to lose, I decided to try a solder repair on the original sender. To my surprise, I got a good solid connection and the ohmeter checks out. Some day I will pump out the gas, swap senders and see. Senders were switched out in February. With the repaired original sender, 12 gallons move the dash needle to a little more than 3/8, which looks correct. I noticed brake fluid on the floor. It was the rear seal on the master. A new master from Rock Auto was here in no time and easily installed. A new garage - work shop. It makes the Imperial look small. September, 2020 at the Veteran's show, Weedsport NY. I decided to change spark plugs and plug wires because of a rough idle. Started with the driver side. Plugs 1, 3, 5 were easy. Plug 7 is blocked by the steering column heat shield. A swivel head ratchet was needed. The passenger side presents its own challenge. Plug #2 is quite difficult. #4, 6, 8 are easy. I bought a new set of wires from Rock Auto, AC 9188E. They are good quality but the length on two are way long. Rather than cut them, I looped and used wire holders. It is not the best solution but works for now. Of interesting difficulty is routing 4 wires under the AC compressor. She starts and runs fine on all 8 but the rough idle remains so more work to do. Who would have thought the idle mixture screw was in the air horn? Well, it turns out the mixture screw is not there. I poked, prodded, found nothing. The engine is located well back in this car so in order to look down the air horn, I had to get out padding, put it over the rad and AC and get myself laid out over the engine. Nothing. No screw in there. I bet the idle screws are those two little deals on the side covers.
