...back in the day. a .80 reducer (the common ratio) will allow the use of a 17 tooth pinion with a 3.55 rear gear. i bought mine from ImperialServices some years back but i don't think they sell to the public anymore. i picked this out of the Goodguys gazette: Rowland Speedometer...
...levers on the VB assembly on the 78 trans were wrong and the factory cable is specific to 63-65 trans so a bit of a pain. I found ImperialServices makes a new cable/bracket/lever to keep the original console. Nice piece overall but what a nightmare people to deal with. Over two months of...
...are dirt cheap!
I bought mine for under $400 for the motor and $50 for the transmission core.
They bolt in (later 727's use the ImperialServices mount)
This opens up the fairly large aftermarket for 440's that includes every kind of street and strip head you can think of, stroker cranks...
I've got a '67 727 in my '64 Polara and retained my original shifter and console. I used the ImperialServices http://imperialservices.net/ conversion kit. You will need to purchase the cable conversion kit as well as the conversion mount. It works well.
Took 3 years and alot of phone calls to get my cable conversion kit from ImperialServices,but I did get it........I'm sure it will take me that long to install it and get the car running back on the road.
The cable you need is a stock '66-'67 item: old style threaded speedometer end, new style threaded transmission end.
ImperialServices has a lousy reputation for doing exactly what you describe, which is a damn shame because they make and offer some really good products. :-(
does anybody have a used shifter cable for a 65 coronet with console 727 mine came un crimped on the eyelet end that hooks to the shifter and i can not get it crimped back on and stay i looked at imperialservices cables and 229 dollars seems a bit outrageous thanks in advance.
If I got rid of it, this blue car would be very sad :P I need it to work with the pushbutton cable from ImperialServices.
Next time you are coming up my way, shoot me a PM and stop by.
Amazing similarities--especially with the 15" slotted wheels and vented dog dish hubcaps; you've got a beautiful car there--but I'm just a little biased!!!
is imperialservices the only source for shifter/park/speedometer cables for my 65 console shift satellite? I need two of the cables for sure(cant remember which ones), but at over $200 each , may have to live with the drips
OK so after months of attempted calls and emails to ImperialServices I've given up on having them update my pushbutton console. Unless somebody here knows the secret handshake/subject line/ringtone to use in order to contact them that is!
That said does anybody here know how they, or anybody...
I'm using ImperialServices cable kit in my 65 Satellite (console shift, original shifter) with a 727 out of a 71 Charger; it works beautifully. Also using ImperialServices polyurethane trans mount. No other changes required (cross member, etc.) other than driveshaft.
Ok so still no luck contacting ImperialServices...
Is there anybody else that will convert my '64 Pushbuttons to work with a '66 and up 727?
For those of you that have had this service completed or done it yourself:
Can you tell me what was done so I can accomplish this on my own?
...you will need the conversion trans mount to fit it to the 62-65 trans mount bracket. This is available from both Bouchillon and ImperialServices, I believe and its urethane. Since the 65 came with an RB engine (426 wedge) and a 727, any stock driveshaft from a B or RB ( 361, 383, 426)...
Thanks for the lead Altered! As an update I called A&A Trans and found out they source this part from ImperialServices!! LOL On a the plus side it sounds like he might have the secret handshake or phone number to get a hold of them. More to follow as things pan out.
