Re: IML: Imperial Interchange manuals



I think they quit being so helpful in the 70's, by the 80's for sure. You can't get those guys to open up the books now and look for anything, at least not around here. Talking to people here on the list is definitely more helpful, then you can go down to Pick Your Part or some other place and tell them what you need and what model car to look for it on. Kind of similar in some respects like going to Kragens or most chain parts places, tell them you need a waterpump for a 67 Imperial with a 440, or 64 Dodge 880. They try to enter it in the computer, then blankly look back at you and tell you the computer doesn't go back that far, or they can't enter it. I can't get over that, they ALWAYS have this dumb look like I'm the first person in their career to ask for a part that old. Of course maybe I just always get the new people. You'd think I was asking for a head gasket for a 53 Studebaker or something. I'll get off my soapbox now.

These use to be used primarily at auto salvage yards, and maybe still are. I had one that covered the early '50s through the middle '60s. At the time, most yards around here were of the "you pull it" type. If the yard didn't have the same car as you were looking for, they would "look it up" to see if they could help out anyway. Hollander Interchange Manual was totally reliable and accurate. It would be fun to look up some of the stuff that I remember, to see if my memory had held up over the years. I'd like to know if the '56 Imperial brake drum and front u-joint information posted earlier is correct. Back in the old days I use to scour the wrecking yards every weekend looking for parts for my '56. I became quite familiar with what would and would not fit.

This is for anyone wanting an interchange manual. They have all makes and Imperials are listed as a seperate car like they are supposed to be. Joe Machado

I got mine, all three, back in the late 70's. I have no idea of a web site or the cost. My 53 thru 65 is one edition and the other is a 2 book version, 1964 to 1974. The latter does have some items going back to 1946. The latter has a seperate body section, but is about 1/2 the thickness of the other parts that it covers. These are for American cars only.
