Paul,
Why would anybody who wants a "basic" car own any Imperial? If you want a
basic car, buy a Dart. I didn't see everybody saying to sell they late 60's
Imperials because they couldn't find Budd rotors.
Everybody here whines every time any Imperial, in any condition is used in
demolition derby, but this car showed one minor problem and you are already
advising it be sold. Are the 80's Imperials somehow less worthy than all
prior years? I'm sure some of you think so, but that's not what this list
is about. I have been happy about the recent trend to welcome and help the
owners of 90's Imperials.
A quick check of the archives and collected EFI posts shows this as the
number one source of info on the 80s EFI system. Dick B. and Bob and some
others have kept numerous EFI cars going. We should be able to help Joel
out. I read all those posts, but when I bought my '83 I specifically looked
for a converted car because I wanted 300 + horsepower. It wouldn't have
been feasible to keep the EFI and I didn't want to mess up an original car.
