Don't let the purists get to you Larry. You haven't done anything wrong. You're doing exactly what Imperialists should do, keep an Imperial on the road. Why wait a month for a rebuild, or risk poor performance when you can keep your Imperial running safely and inexpensively. Some of our members have forgotten that everyone doesn't have a "king's ransom" to pay for the correct parts or keep a car sitting for a month waiting for someone to rebuild your originals. As far as I'm concerned, you are keeping an Imperial on the road, and that's good enough for me. Doug 58 Crown coupe
