Partners"), and Questor Side-by-Side Partners L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Questor SBS", and together with Questor Partners, the "Reporting
Persons") with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share

ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.  Except as indicated herein, the

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         ----------------------

          The following text is added to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D:

          On March 7, 2000, Questor Partners and Questor SBS sold an aggregate
of 16,500 Common Shares in open market transactions.  See Item 5(c) below.

          As indicated in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, Questor Partners and
Questor SBS from time to time intend to review their investment in IMPCO on the
basis of various factors, including IMPCO's business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions,
the securities markets in general and those for IMPCO's securities in
particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities.
Based upon such review, Questor Partners and Questor SBS will take such actions
in the future as they may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances
existing from time to time.  Considering current market conditions and the
investment objectives of Questor Partners and Questor SBS, Questor Partners and
Questor SBS currently intend, subject to market conditions, to sell up to
917,100 Common Shares in open market transactions over up to the next 90 days
pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

          Except as indicated herein, the information set forth in Item 4 of the
Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
