I currently have 225/75/R15s… but I was looking to upsize to 235/75/R15s… good idea or bad? Are they closer to the original size tires that came on the car when new?

Has anyone tried to fit one of these into a mid-to-late 60s Chrysler:

I somehow remember doing something like this years ago… with the only modification being alte…

How do you adjust the horizonal side-to-side mounting on the deck lid? Where would you shim it if you needed to move to the left about 1/4", for example?

I’m sure this has been talked about before. But I’m curious as to what is the most-preferred oil out there for our original Chrysler Big Blocks. I’m talking about the ’60s era engines out there with original heads and all. I was leaning towards something like Valvoline VR-1 10W40. Is there any other oil or fuel additives you all recommend?

I got one of those new Mopar Electronic Ignition conversion kits that comes with the orange ECU. I’ve always heard that this ECU is crap, so I’m trying to find the best one out there to replace it with. All is going into a ’68 Imperial, if that matters…

While I’ve had many C-bodies in the past, this is my first Imperial, so bear that in mind. However, there are a couple of things that look out of place here. I assume this the voltage regulator, mounted on that plate on top of the inner fender? It looks factory, but does this car have factory electronic ignition then?

Also, in the second picture, what is this small black tank next to the horns for? It looks like a small vacuum tank of sorts. I’m NOT talking…

The brights are not working on my ’68 Imperial I just received. It seems highly unlikely that all 4 bright elements are out. I suppose it might be the foot switch, or possibly something with the relay, but not sure…
