RE: IML: Electric Trunk Release

["Rob McCall" <Rob_Mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,

I haven't checked the trunk latch mechanism bolt pattern on my LeBaron, but
on the other Chrysler products, the latch mechanism was the same on all the
RWD vehicles up through '89.  The best place to find one of the electric
trunk latches is a mid-to-late '80's Chrysler 5th Avenue.  I believe the
latch was standard on them.  

A good friend of mine has a '67 Fury III.  He just replaced his latch with
the M-body (5th Ave/Diplomat/Gran Fury) electric release.  He kept locking
his keys in the trunk at car shows...  The only wiring needed is a 12v
positive to a momentary switch, and a wire from the switch to the latch.

By the way, I still need to send you some pictures of my '67.  I didn't
forget.

Hi Haley

     I to have the vacumn trunk release in my 67 conv. and 68 Le Baron parts

car. Saw a 66 in a salvage yard and it was electric.  Wanted to put a remote

keyless entry system in but didn't know how to hook it up to the vacumn 
release.
