I'm with Elijah here, I joined this to talk about Imperials built by CHRYSLER, not to hear recomendations to modify them with GM parts. If I had wanted that, I'd have been on a street rod list. Then I could be like my buddy in town with the 41 Ford with gm driveline, He gets to buy lots of lovely gm parts, including alternators. I'd rather not bodge MY Imperials with GM parts. I don't want to get into the service work I've done on GMs in the past, but I'll just say that I don't care to use or replace any more of their parts, thats one of the main reasons I am on this list and why I drive Mopars. Sorry Mike, but I really think that gm part recomendations are ill advised, and honestly, are off-topic for this list. Whats next, bowtie engine swaps? ewwww....clone rodders.
