The story

Vehicle was purchased from Grandson of original owner in December 2008 for $650.00 Canadian. It walked through a safety check and is emissions exempt in this Province, as long as nobody votes NDP in the future.
The Grandson had taken good care of the vehicle for 2 years. Prior to that it had been owned and cared for (meticulously I'll add) by his Grandfather since he bought it new in 1981. To say it is rust free would be an understatement. Even the frame rails are still burgundy. Grampa may have ordered the CMX wheels as their center webs are painted body colour. We re-upholstered the headliner and rear window tunnel in 2010.
Mk IV cupholder/console. — Sixlitre

The deep socket usually captures the clip no trouble 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - There's the ages old original Mopar valve seals. The intake closest to us, the exhaust furthest away.

1982 Chrysler New Yorker - Blue and Green field wires on my typical Chrysler 60 amp alternator 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - Both wires are green on the 117 amp Denso alternator.

The stock 82' power wire has it's own shroud attached to the wire an… 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - Now notice the two studs have male spade connectors nutted onto them.

1982 Chrysler New Yorker - Where do I get those neat 1/4 inch male spade adapters you ask ? why from Grote 84-2915. Think I paid 3 bucks for the ten in the pack 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - Want them angled ? Put them in the vice and bend em'. These nut onto the Denso alternator studs making this a true bolt on, with no wiring… 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - Empty out the bonded rubber that holds the steel tube the trans mount bolt passes through. 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - This is what you no longer need. It's also why your trans bumps around. 1982 Chrysler New Yorker - This is what goes into the old mount housing, which is planty rigid and plenty strong. The deteriorated rubber is the weak link.
