Dang! You'd think it was a Frank...

Grille is broken...of course.

The E body steering wheel is a nice touch...nice alternative for a "sporty" wheel for one of these.

I love that you kept most of the interior. Turn up the AC! LOL!

Congratulations on your retirement!

I'm doing the brakes on my 89 5th Ave and used partsavatar.ca and got everything I needed for cheaper than I could locally. It also had free shipping which is pretty unheard of for a Canadian company. Be careful though... they labelled the front calipers as left and right for the same part...

Love these things...I'd have to put snowflakes on it though.

Monroe Sensa track, OEM replacement part. 1984 Diplomat, and 1989 5th Ave daily drivers. Worked out great for me so far for the daily beats...

Note that there were two Duster packages... A42 Volare Duster package and A48 Duster Decor Package...A48 required A42:

Hood pads are a must for my daily driver M's. In winter the pad really keeps the heat under the hood when you have it plugged in over night.

Not an Imperial. 59 Windsor ...side trim is a dead giveaway.

It's painted under the pad. The insulation is to keep it warm under the hood in winter...something needed in Canada I can tell you! Replacements available: Hood Insulation - DODGE - Page 1 - Class-Tech-Cars.com

Sorry, but I don't do tubular grilles...even when they were in "style".

I wish there was still support for the grilles.

If it's stock...probably a 2.4 gear set. But at that price, who cares?

Welcome from Manitoba! Being from Ontario, I know all about how salt destroys cars. I loved my 81 Cordoba, but she's long gone now.

Good to hear...even though I have no engine swap projects at this time, it bugged me that the conversion mounts were not available.

With a casette in, the flap should be kinda open...anyway...hold it open so you can see inside. On the passenger side top corner of the cassette hole, you should see a metal tang inside...with like a 90 degree bend . Use a small scewdriver and push the tang forward...the cassette will pop up.

Here's a link to the factory conversion manual: 1981-1983 Imperial Carburetor Retrofit Manual

Here in Winnipeg, -18F or -28C. Drove the Diplomat to Church.

From my experience the Ford pucks are longer and not a drop in replacement for the Mopar...they'd need to be ground down.

Depends of if the car was originally a 4bbl or a 2bbl. When I swapped my 77 T&C I went with a ported vacuum equipped TQ. When I swapped my Diplomat, I went with a ported vacuum equipped BBD.

Any Canadian car would have the same speedo...so not as rare as you might think.

According to the FSM, a problem with air distribution is one of 4 things: 1)Faulty vacuum actuator (it's on the end of the air box) 2)Vacuum line pinched/ disconnected from actuator 3)Air duct restriction (something in there...mouse nest etc.) 4)Faulty selector switch
