Me and Gator are headed out again to get some hidden mopar gems. There are 2 5th Aves, 1 Imperial, 1 79 coupe Volare and various other mopar iron. The Volare is a super 6 Auto. Someone need that set up with the trans kickdown? It is all there.
Junk'n on the 20th

Can you find out about the imperial wiring harness?
As in price/ condition? I think it was in tact, but the radio might have been yanked by an idiot. Do you just want parts of the harness? Engine side? interior?

Well, I need to double check which part of the harness is bad, but I think the engine harness would be easier to just grab.
I don't have the car yet, but I hope to be picking it up before April..hopefully. I remember there being wiring issues, just don't know off the top of my head what they were

I hate to see that beautiful dark blue Imperial sitting in that yard! The White 5th too! So how did your junkin day go today? Pictures?
I actually shot video and will be editing out dead spots. We did 2 days- Saturday and Monday. We grabbed 8 3/4 rears. The one out of the tan 70 Belvedere is a 741 case "Sure Grip" limited slip 2.94..... very odd, but it is a sure grip 8 3/4...... Score, since I dropped an extra 60 bucks somewhere in the yard. I'll have the Video posted shortly. I have to box up some other grabbs and ship them out to the forum members
Slant6billy, did you happen to get either of the rear sway bars (or the bracket that rear sway bar attaches to that’s sandwiched between the leaf spring and diff), from either of the ’73 B-body’s?

I'm an idiot. I think they are still there. Those are Iso clamp. Is the rear sway bar the same as the supercoupe F body?
The Frame rails are wider apart (4”, I think) on the ‘73’s, than FMJ bodies. They may still fit just fine.
If not, I know a person who can “re-bend” the bars to fit.
The hardware, especially the differential brackets, are the main item to grab (which should be the same with or without Iso-mounts).
A lot of the “performance” ‘73’s didn’t use the Iso-mounts (but some did).
I went back and looked and the parts do make a difference (with Iso- or without).
FMJ
The frame bracket parts are the same (B vs. FMJ). The sway bar itself is different between both versions (B vs. FMJ) – for one is frame mounted (newer style) and the other is differential mounted (older style). They will both work – pending if the B-body bar is not too wide.
Note: cars that use a rear sway bar will also have a larger front sway bar than a non rear sway bar car will have.

I know the feeling.
So I live in a housing development where the average house is worth 300 to 400 grand. ( I bought my house years back at 163) I've got neighbors who throw out stuff nicer than what I got. Mowers, weed wackers, Edgers, and other stuff worth cash. I snagged a mower and an edger last night when my wife and I were on our evening power walk ( bonding as a couple). Just sold the edger for 50 bucks and expect to sell the mower for that at the least. It makes up for the cash spent, lost .... blown... etc. I just hate seeing things go to waste. And a little bit of coin along the way helps my mopar addiction. Allows me to grab and pass on parts to the folks that need em.
Thumbs up!
