Re: IML: IML DIGEST

[Norm Johnson <norm_5000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Whoever rebuilt or sold you the engine should tell you
what is wrong.  I have a 74 Imperial with 440 which
runs smooth at 73,000 miles.  My 72 Newport is not as
smooth, and am told the 400 cid Chrysler engine is
just that way.  Norm  1-19-05
