Welcome to Allpar. I'm about 90 miles west of you, down by the Tennessee River. What did that 413 come out of? My dad had one in his 62 Imperial LeBaron and that thing would fly!

Welcome to Allpar!

hey thanks. The 413 came from an early 60s Imperial as a matter of fact. (according to the previous owner). It also has the double shock system on each wheel with additional heavy duty leaf springs in the back.

Welcome to allpar.

The 413 was a great engine. I think my dad's Imperial had over 150,000 miles on it when he got tired of putting transmissions in it. He bought it for a hundred bucks off a dude that was a Chevy man and had replaced the plugs, points, cap, rotor button and wires on it and couldn't get it to run. He had the spark plug wires on backward. After reaching a deal on it, he asked me if I knew the firing order and I did, so swapped the plug wires around on it and he drove it home. The guy he got it from cussed him for a year or so for "taking advantge of him." Dad told him "a deal's a deal. I gave you what you asked me for it." LOL

Thanks Det.

LOL chuzz, that's right...a deal is a deal. It was the sellers fault for not knowing how to install freekin plug wires! It pays to know basic mechanics. :thumbsup:
