I’m getting some conflicting information on the correct type of plug wires used in ’68 for a 440 (non HP). Are all the boots supposed to be 90 degrees, for both to the plug ends and the distributor ends? Or, are the ends to the distributor supposed to …

I’m looking at getting some replacement parts of my ’68 Imperial. Most of the parts I see online are from Centric. Are these parts any good? The parts I’m looking at are the complete front disk calipers and brake hoses, as well as rear brake cylinders…

I’m looking for a new correct ignition switch for a ’68 Imperial. It looks like all I need to do is change out the key mechanism in the switch, which looks pretty easy. Is this the correct one for all ’68 Chryslers and Imperials:

The radio in my ’68 Imperial is acting strange. It will turn on and after 5-6 minutes or so, will quickly fade out, hearing no sound. Sometimes turning it off and waiting a bit will get it to turn back on, only to do the same thing again. Before that during the summer, I noticed that the radio at times would completely fade out while coming to a stop, then return to normal when moving again. Any idea what might be causing this?

Does anyone make exhaust pipe hangers similar to the originals? I’m looking for something like this, which came off my ’68 Imperial:

Does anyone know how to remove/attach the stainless trim on ’68 Imperials? I’m talking about the two long rows of thin stainless trim along the sides. I assume it is some sort of plastic or metal retainers, but not sure. If those retainers are still available, that would also be appreciated. Pictures would be nice to see as well.

I’m considering getting a new full exhaust system for my ’68 Imperial. From what I seen, it sounds like the TTI 2.5″ system with the Dynamax mufflers and Turndown tips are my best bet. Part #: https://www.ttiexhaust.com/Classics-Ex/C25MWM6573.pdf

I’m wondering what others have experienced using this set up. Is there a better option out there? I’m running a stock engine, although it does originally have the 440-dual exhaust option.
