Hi Paul I guess I'm just kind of a car girl. My dad used to be a mechanic, ane he taught me a lot about cars. People think it's a little strange, but oh well, that's their problem :-) I wired the neutral safty switch completly out of the system on my Imperial, because it was causing me some problems too. I don't mind being able to start it in gear, but that would scare some people. My starter died this summer too, so I got one off of a 5th avenue with a 318. It's the same starter. They are not hard to change, just two bolts. -Hailey On Wed, 10 Nov 2004 13:58:07 -0500, randalpark@xxxxxxx <randalpark@xxxxxxx> wrote: > You familiarity with your cars and the ease of your technological vocabulary amaze me! > > I also have a '68 Crown Convertible, but currently it isn't running. I believe that I have narrowed it down to the starter motor. Also, the neutral safety switch is fowling up. I do get a "clack" down at the starter solinoid if I pull on the gear selector while it is in "Park" and hold the key in the start position. > > Paul > > In an email dated Wed, 10 11 2004 6:16:58 pm GMT, Morgan Moore <materialgurl@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > > >Hello > > > >Personaly I find the performance of the 68 to be better, but that is > >likely because the 67 has an engine out of a 66 lebaron, and 413 heads > >with smaller valves.
