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.
