More than once I have sent a question to the IML and then received a reply from a member pointing me to the URL within the Web Pages. Indeed, doing a Google search for Imperial related questions almost always turns up a link to the Imperial Web Pages. I look thoroughly at all the related information before sending out a question, and Kerry has made a great point about similar pages for similar years. The 67's and the 68's are probably very closely related so I'm off to read the '67 pages, now.
The biggest problem I have is the temptation to come in from the garage with grease all over my hands and start typing. Maybe I need a shop computer?

I continue to be amazed by the resources of this group and have a couple suggestions to everyone.
1- Go to the appropriate year-by-year page and read EVERYTHING!, follow every link. Also go to similar pages for similar years. For instance, most everything on a 73 also applies to 70-72 and some 69. Same with 57 through 58 and further. There may well be a post that answers your question.
2- READ the repair section before you post your question it might be quicker than waiting for someone to reply and cuts down on repetitive questions that clutter up the list. Chris Trettin has done an amazing job of pulling together information from the mailing list and consolidating it in the on-line manual. In addition, there is a huge amount of information readily available from complete shop manuals to how-to's for many subjects. While at Anniston this weekend, the gas tank float I had repaired on my 300 (same in most all Mopars) sank. I had heard that some Ford floats were the same. I could see myself trying to convince the Ford parts guy to go look until he found a float that would work. I went to the repair section, fuel, followed a few links and guess what. The ford part number is OCAZ-9202-B. Total time from question to answer, about 45 seconds. By they way, they cost a whopping $3.25. I bought a spare.
