IML: Question

[<fretwellt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was not aware of the difficulty to find exhaust /intake manifolds. I just dropped the heads off at the machine shop today. This is my first classic that I have owned and to find some parts for classic Plymouth/Dodge/Chysler are like digging for gold in the back yard. But I've told myself I'am going to restore her so I will. There is no parts mag. that carries anything for the 1963 Imperial 413. Like Canter, Summit, Jegs.
