RE: IML: 1968 Questions

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Things I can help with:

Question #2
No

Question #3
No, the sheet metal brackets were rubber dipped in black rubber. You can
reproduce this with tool handle dipping rubber.
There are plastic grommets for the brackets that are bolted on the manifold
bolts.  These are available from YearOne.

Question #4
No '68 Imperial left the factory with a dual snorkel air cleaner, unless it
was some kind of special order.  These are luxury cars, not hot rods,
regardless of what you'll hear from D^2!
The standard air cleaner has a flat spot across the front to clear the
backside of the AC compressor.  It also has a flat spot on the underside to
clear the coil.

Subject: IML: 1968 Questions

It's always the little stuff:

1.) None of my preferred parts vendors seem to have the PCV valve cover 
grommet for my '68. The original parts number is 2536923. Can any of you 
provide a part number for a matching grommet which may have superceded the 
original?

2.) Did factory dual exhaust 1968 Imperials use the high performance style 
exhaust manifolds like the ones used on Magnum/Super Commando B body cars?

3.) Are there any grommets for the spark plug wires where they rest on the 
valve cover mounted wire holder? If so, would you please provide a source?

4.) I have noticed some dual snorkel air cleaner lids have a flat surface 
across the front, others have a sort of notch. Can somebody tell me which is

correct for a 1968 Imperial?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

K.
