We've had a lot of IML talk on this subject, and
often the Hydro-E-Lectric company out of Punta Gorda, Fl. is
mentioned. I've kept all of their contact info, and everyone I ask highly
recommends them. My
'69 OTHER-THAN-IMPERIAL convertible went into the shop today for
some brake work and other mild PM. One of the things I'm having the shop
take care of is to drain and re-fill the pump for the top. If that doesn't
fix the sluggish performance of the top (drops fine, but needs me pushing to
close it again) my first call will be to Hydro. They sell pumps
starting at $220.00. They used to sell rebuild kits too, and I hope they
still do! The number is 800-343-4261. The website is http://www.hydroe.com/. If you have the
July edition of Hemmings Classic Car magazine, the Hydro ad is on page
99.
BTW, the July Classic Car issue is dedicated to
identifying cheap, good value convertibles for under $10,000.
The only MOPAR offering is the mid 90s LeBaron! No Imperials to be
seen.
