RE: IML: 1964 Imp Convertible - Pass Recling Seat Adjuster Broken

Now there’s another name from the past! (but in this case it’s my Packard past). Haden, I have a couple of parts seats from my 67 Convertible I did a few years ago. If you have a parts book (or perhaps there’s one on the IML site you could use), give me the part number of what you want, and I’ll compare it to the parts book for the 67 – if they’re the same, they’re yours! Did the 64 have the automatic seat scooter (“door stretcher” in the literature) – that might make the parts different –I’m not sure.

Sorry folks, it’s almost Imperial in stature, anyway.

Subject: IML: 1964 Imp Convertible - Pass Recling Seat Adjuster Broken

Needed:   For the passenger front seat with the adjustable reclining option.

I have removed the broken steel locking pawl which allows adjustment of and locking into position of the passenger front seat back.

Your help and advice will be appreciated as to availability of a new or used
part or availability of repair of the original piece.

Also, I would like information on availability of replacement mufflers.
Either NOS, something of original equipment, or a substitution of similar
dimensions and tone. Due to the "X" member frame, the convertible is dual exhaust and I understand it is not an interchangable muffer with other
models.

Should the exhaust system on this car have resonators? I do not have any.
