Not mine, but I thought someone might be interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Factory-Fuel-Injection-System-for-1981-1982-1983-and-1984-Chrysler-Imperial-/251383883481?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a87a5a6d9&vxp=mtr

Since I cant swap better gears into my 224 geared 8-1/4 rear because of the small carrier, and I will never get close to the hp numbers it takes to break an 8.25 stock rear... I'm thinking I should use a bolt in swap. The whole frickin rear. So.. if you are a northeaster, reasonably close to...

I cant tell if it is in my box, or in the steering coupler.. Definitely one of those two tho. I assume there is a steering box adjustment I can do to see if it improves anything, But Looking at the wiggle in the wheel (and steering shaft) going into the box I'm thinking it the coupler is the...

So.. My temp warning light came on the other day. Right after I cleaned pretty thoroughly under the hood. Yeah, I know.. not the best idea. The temp seems low enough, no crazy boil over when opening the cap at all.. everything seems normal, except for the light. Since, I did a thermostat change...

Thanks.... The centers are the stock ford deals.. I painted over the ponies and and added self stick metal K-car hubcap centers I bought on ebay.

jasperjacko, I have a customer for that rear you're swapping out. :) Shorty, I live in PA, Eastern PA... a bit of a trip....

Oh.. My Imp? I didn't get one of the 4 cars without the open rear. :) I checked.

Thanks all. To clear things up, my (and every other as far as I know) Imperial has the 8.25 rear. I just went to look again, Just to be sure... I even checked the diagram kkritsilas posted (thanks)in case i had my rear-o-meter out of whack and was dreaming when I had it up on the lift just after...

New to the world of mopar... and I have an 81 imp.. So that means an 81/4 open rear with 224 gears.. Something needs to be done about that. :) I *think* the guts from a dakota 81/4 can be used, and there a more than a few in local yards, but I'm sure there is a bunch I should learn.. It's where...

My car is Low.. no issue even on the shit roads around here. Running 235/65/17, any bigger or wider would cause a few crunchy scrape noises. Is VERY close to rubbing, but ok. No idea how it'd do with folks in the back seat. Speedo is perfect by my gps in that tire size too .

Wheels are 17x8 bullit with 1.5 inch spacers.

The wheels are these..the same as these anyway. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mustang-Bullit-17-8-wheel-rim-/321228913386?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item4acabc3aea&vxp=mtr I used 1.5 inch spacers I bought on ebay for $125 I'll have to check tire size tomorrow... according to my gps the speedo...

No bb for me.. :) Going to do a 5.9 magnum swap. Mild cam, headers, dual plane, gears out back.. a little taller than 3.55, def shorter than a 2.24. not sure what gear yet. Is the plan anyway.

Before and after on the used mustang wheels.
