Yes, I agree lets stick to mopar issues. I don't see whats so great about a
GM alternator? I have had excellent luck with mopar alternator as a matter
of fact I switched 2 Moline and 1 John Deere tractors over from Delco
generator to mopar alternators and work great. Ag equipment is the most
torchering test for anything. My other g equipment has delco alt's and they
are such a nightmare, go through about 3 a year. they are the crapiest alt
in my book.

>
>1. Everything here is Imperial focused... keep it so.
>(If you feel it is not, take it to the Salon.
>Information about joining the salon is available on

>DETAILED EXPLANATIONS:
>
>The Imperial Mailing List is one of the biggest and
>oldest Internet based car clubs, and it has grown to
>be the largest Imperial club of any kind. Over the
>years, it has developed a "theme" or a "flavor", which
>I
>will attempt to describe:
>
>In the past, Imperial owners have been isolated, and
>desperate for help
>in keeping their cars on the road. Now, imagine living
>by the side of a constantly flowing river of
>knowledge. Any time you need something (a replacement
>Imperial part, or some advice, for example), you can
>just dip a bucket right in and get what you want.
>Free, easy and VERY friendly, with hundreds of
>wonderful pals. The IML provides a positive feedback
>loop, and it's a major success.
>
>However, we sometimes get folks who join up, and don't
>understand that
>in order to GET something, they have to GIVE
>something. It might be information, advice, honest
>questions or volunteering. At the very minimum, we ask
>that you be a good citizen. We have very clear rules
>about what constitutes "good citizenship", and several
>constantly active
>folks who are authorized to spank troublemakers -
>You're not paying for
>membership in cash, you're paying for it in plain old
>common courtesy.
>
>Here are the rules:
>
>---
>
>OUR LIST OF GOOD THINGS.
>
>- Chat about Imperials of all years and 1976-78
>Chrysler New Yorker Broughams. (Other topics to the
>Salon) Send Imperial related questions, stories,
>advice, or friendly feedback. Keep it pleasant,
>and you'll get all of the goodies you need.
>
>- Volunteer to help. We are always happy to accept
>help from folks who like to greet new folks, or edit
>the archives for the web site, or add new material
>to a particular year's Home Page, or moderate our many
>Chat sessions. We have a separate mailing list
>(IML-Admin) for folks who want to help run the IML,
>with lots of active members. To join, send e-mail to
>sysop@xxxxxxx and ask to be added.
>
>- Always be aware that you are on a planet wide
>mailing list, with
>members on every continent except Antarctica (we're
>working on it).
>The folks on the list don't have any idea where you
>live unless you mention it, so please tell us WHERE
>your car is for sale.
>
>- Advertise Imperial parts and services (No other kind
>of ads are allowed). We have many vendors who are
>members in excellent standing, and always want more.
>Don't fool yourself into believing that we want
>to be spammed with constant advertisements. Keep it
>tasteful. Any questions? Join the IML-Admin list.
>
>- Learn how to use your computer's e-mail software,
>specifically how to change the Subject line so that it
>matches the actual contents, how to ONLY include
>quoted text that continues the discussion (instead of
>every word that has ever been posted on a topic), and
>for goodness' sake, learn how to copy and paste
>text!
>
>---
>
>OUR LIST OF BAD THINGS.
>
>You'll get one friendly warning for any of these, and
>then we'll hit the Ejector Switch if you keep
>offending us. We really have very little patience for
>folks who don't want to play nice, since there are so
>many
>of us that do. So read, learn and abide by the rules.
>New members are more than welcome but no excuses like
>"I didn't know" will be tolerated.
>
>- Messages that are NOT about Imperials of all years
>and 1976-78
>Chrysler New Yorker Broughams. If it's not about a car
>that is in one of those
> categories, PLEASE don't send it to the Imperial
>Mailing List. Really.
>No long, drawn out comparisons between Dodge Polaras
>and Monacos -
>There are OTHER mailing lists and the Salon for such
>discussions, and we
>get enough e-mail traffic already.
>
>- Angry messages. They bother a very large, friendly
>and kindly group of
>folks. This can include personal attacks, profanity,
>sexual references, stereotyping, or other offensive
>speech. If it's not something you could read out loud
>to your sweetest relative, don't send it, because we
>really don't want it. There are IML members who are
>gay, or fundamentalists (of all kinds), every race,
>sex, age and opinion, and none of it matters. We're
>Imperialists. Figure out how the Internet works, and
>get used to diversity.
>
>- Attached files. Imagine sending some big, honking
>picture file to a gazillion folks, 99% of whom don't
>want it or need it - It's a GREAT way to upset a
>bunch of potential friends. If you MUST send in an
>addition to the web site or something, follow the
>instructions at the bottom of every message. If it's
>not Imperial oriented, you're just wasting your time.
>
>- Do not post urban legends, virus warnings, jokes,
>scams and other
>crapola. If you feel you need to start a message with
>'This is non
> Mopar, but..,' then it doesn't belong.
>
>- Private or repetitive email, posted to the whole
>mailing list. Nasty stuff! Some of us get WAAAY too
>much e-mail already, and we CERTAINLY don't want to
>read a message saying nothing but "Count me in!" or
>"Way to go!" or "Hey, Bob - I'll buy it!" Send it to
>the single person involved, and give the rest of us a
>break.
>
>- Requests to be unsubscribed... DUH! The instructions
>on unsubscribing are included in every message. PLEASE
>USE THEM and don't send a post to the list to
>unsubscribe. You will be tortured by many and feel
>like
>a fool.
>
>THESE ARE THE RULES, SO FAR.
>
>They will probably be added to or modified as time
>goes by. They are pretty solid, though - We've been
>doing this for a long time. If you don't like
>something, join the IML-Admin list and make your case!
>We can
>always use some good, opinionated leaders!
