RE: IML: 66 imperial camshaft/lifters

OK, glad it helped, and thanks for the compliment!

The steering wheels are different for “Tilt-0-Scope” equipped cars, as you probably know, and the color of the wheels are matched to the interior colors, with a color tint in the “clear” wheels to match the seat colors; or solid black wheels for cars like my 68 with the “gold dust” sprinkled black leather interior.

Thanks for your advice. You did a beautiful job on your car. I have all the tools you used, so I am going to do it your way. I removed my engine/trans on another make(don't want to get in trouble) and was able to remove the core support, which made it a piece of cake. However, the 66 Imperial would require you to remove the entire front clip which looks like a huge job. I see how you solved the clearance problem regarding the length of the engine/trans vs the small opening you have to get it out.

By the way, i have the same steering wheel as yours, but it is black. I have a clear one on my other car and i just love that look.

Thanks again

Marty

Marty;

If you read my write-up on the refurbish of my 67, one of the things I cover in some detail is removing/installing the engine and transmission as a unit – so rather than type the whole thing again, I’ll ask you to just go there and see if that answers your questions.

Click on that, then wait for it to load, then scroll down to Chapter 6 (reassembly), and then down to “engine and transmission”. .
