I took my '69 Bu-ck Electra ragtop to a local
car show tonight and among the 60 or 70 cars I saw one Mopar. It was a
Dodge Charger, I think. Usually there are 3 or 4, but it's always pretty
spare. There were 4 Packards, which I didnt' expect, but mostly it was GM,
a lot of Ford and GM muscle cars and newer Jap cars souped up with crap I don't
even understand.
Anyway, a kid was talking to me about my car later
in the evening. He was about 20 with tatoos all over, a cigarette
dangling out of his mouth, a bottle of beer in his hand and a skinny girlfriend
simpering nearby. He confessed that he was first and foremost a Mopar fan,
and after I told him I had a '58 Imp project car at home he drawled: "Yeah, my
daddy picks on me for lovin' Chryslers. He says Mopar stands for 'Move
Over, People Are Racing.'"
I hadn't heard that one yet, or if I did I'd
forgotten it.

Hello, I had a 76 New Yorker that started to do
that, the needle would stick on 60 mph or so but if you tapped on the face
hard enough it would fall back to 0. I took it apart and the needle or the
face warped slightly so I took a piece of sand paper and slid it behind
the needle and worked the needle back and forth to sand it down slightly, that
took care of it. Also sometimes you can bend out on the needle alittle (be
gentle).

Hello
Gang,
Would anybody on the list
have a speedometer for a '75 Imperial? My speedometer needle bounces back
and forth when driving, and sometimes is on 60-80 mph when stopped. The
previous owner told me the gear ratio in the speedometer is all messed up.
So I would like the entire speedometer face. If anybody has one to sell
please contact me off list with a price.
