More than once I have sent a question to the IML and then received a reply from a member pointing me to the URL within the Web Pages. Indeed, doing a Google search for Imperial related questions almost always turns up a link to the Imperial Web Pages. I look thoroughly at all the related information before sending out a question, and Kerry has made a great point about similar pages for similar years. The 67's and the 68's are probably very closely related so I'm off to read the '67 pages, now.
The biggest problem I have is the temptation to come in from the garage with grease all over my hands and start typing. Maybe I need a shop computer?

I continue to be amazed by the resources of this group and have a couple suggestions to everyone.
�
1- Go to the appropriate year-by-year page and read EVERYTHING!, follow every link.� Also go to similar pages for similar years.� For instance, most everything on a 73 also applies to 70-72 and some 69. Same with 57 through 58 and further.� There may well be a post that answers your question.
�
2- READ the repair section before you post your question it might be quicker than waiting for someone to reply and cuts down on repetitive questions that clutter up the list.� Chris Trettin has done an amazing job of pulling together information from the mailing list and consolidating it in the on-line manual.� In addition, there is a huge amount of information readily available from complete shop manuals to how-to's for many subjects.� While at Anniston this weekend, the gas tank float I had repaired on my 300 (same in most all Mopars) sank.� I had heard that some Ford floats were the same.� I could see myself trying to convince the Ford parts guy to go look until he found a float that would work.� I went to the repair section, fuel, followed a few links and guess what.� The ford part number is OCAZ-9202-B.� Total time from question to answer, about 45 seconds.� By they way, they cost a whopping $3.25.� I bought a spare.
