I purchased a 67 Imperial convertible in Tucson in February, since that
time I have done a complete "Extreme Make-Over" However after the complete
engine tune up it just will not run! The engine runs rough, (the carb,
points, plugs, wires,....everything were changed out) I drove this car most of
the way from Tucson to Palm Springs, and it ran smooth, ( it did seem terribly
thirsty, getting 7mpg Hwy,) when all the paint, upholstry, brakes, front
end,...well when the car had pretty much been replaced, the engine was targets
for new Carb..or rebuilt, plugs points etc.....Now.............It runs like a 38
year old piece of junk. Most of the mechanics in Palm Springs are younger
than the car, and are lost at what to do when they can't find where to plug in
the computer diagnostic unit.....Just keep on looking...(haha) I have give
up, and the car goes on the block at the McCormic Classic Car auction, held in
November. I would like for it to run better for that, but have exhausted
everything I can think of. Can't find a service manual....any ideas would
be appreciated! I realize I am having all the same symptoms as Jay is with
his 413. Any thoughts????????????
