Imperial and cross-rams

["Bill Watson" <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

The manifolds and carbs can be placed on the engine without doing any
internal revsisons.   I, too, doubt the car was built with the cross-ram at
the factory,

Chrysler of Canada did not offer the cross-ram manifold on any
Canadian-built Chrysler product.   And the only imported car with the
cross-ram manifolding that Chrysler of Canada offered was the Chrysler
300-G.  So the parts would have to have been imported if it was done when
the car was new.

I also bet that "... garage door opener which was on the dash of the car"
is, in reality, the Automatic Beam Changer.
