A friend of mine found that he had 2 Y pipes for a 62-66 Imperial. He has no
use for them and wants to sell them. They are both never used and he also has
some other assorted pieces for the same vehicles. If anyone is interested you
can call him at 1-740-765-5006 any time after 7:00 p.m. est. His name is Jim
Kough and he resides in eastern Ohio. Thanks everyone, Alex
57 Imp conv.
be easier to replace the steering box or replace only the seal,<br>providing I
can locate either?<br>> ><br>> >Thanks,<br>> ><br>> >Quint<br>>
