It appears the list server at Classicar has been disconnected.
You can remove any book marks or addresses that send mail to
chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The new server address to save and bookmark is Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .
The new server operates in a similar fashion to the previous server.
To send
mail to the 300 list,
send mail to Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .
There are a few differences, primarily in the options available and who can
make changes to options.
Instructions can be found off of our web site via
the Quick Index or by this shortcut:
http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm
During the set up, those members that previously had their email at "Digest"
have their settings still at Digest
and
Those members that previously had their email set to "Index" have their
settings at "Digest" (because there is no "index" option)
and
Those members that previously had their email set to 'Deliver immediately'
have their new settings as 'Deliver immediately'.
For questions and changes, give a shout and I'll fix.

Subject: Hi Everyone
Just want to give you some info on the upcoming Meet in Louisville. We
think we have planned some fun things but you will need to help us out some!
First and foremost, those of you coming from the west need to be aware that
our wonderful highway department is closing Interstate 64 east and west
bound on Friday evenings through Monday "crack of dawn" mornings from
downtown Louisville through to the Watterson Expressway (I-264). Road work.
This is how we do it in Louisville now. <sigh> Those of you coming from
the west on Friday (the road closes down at 9:00 p.m.), will need to follow
Interstate 71 North to the Watterson. In other words, follow the directions
for "From the Northwest". Sorry. We have no control over what or when the
governments here do things.
Now, on to fun things: On Thursday, we can tour the Louisville Palace. The
Louisville Palace is an ornate live stage theatre. It was built in the 20s
and is richly appointed and filled with statues, paintings, and the like
that you just don't see in a theatre these days. When I was a kid, it was a
2 screen movie theatre. Then it sat idle for years. It has been restored
and is currently a live performance theatre. The actual theatre gives the
illusion of being in a Mediterranean village - complete with stars twinkling
when the lights are lowered. The cost for this optional tour (which is
arranged for around 11:00 a.m. and is a wonderful kick-off to your exploring
downtown) is $2.00. There will be a sign up sheet in the Hospitality Room.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have concerning this
or any other things pertaining to the Louisville Meet.
We hope to see you all there!
300ly,
Bob and Elizabeth Wieland

Subject: Dual point dist. question
My first foray into a dual point distributor... (I saved a club e-mail regarding setting dwell (thanks Don)). Question is this: Does the adjustment need to be done on both sets of points individually - or just the secondary after gapping the primary - then checking both together? Does it matter?
Is this done by simply turning the motor or must it be running? I guess I'd better also ask exactly where the clips of the dwell meter get connected...? Sorry for the re-hash, but I've installed and gapped the points and now the car won't start, so the help is much appreciated. Thanks. Mike V (dope dweller)

The individual dwell should be 29-32. You can set this by blocking one set of points open with something non metallic (match book), and starting the engine to check the dwell. The timing will be affected and the engine may run rough or not idle. After setting one set do the other one the same way. It will probably take some trial and error, but the total dwell should come out somewhere in the specification range.

Subject: heat riser kit and paint codes
Hello all,
I'm rebuilding the engine in my '66 300 non-letter
series with a 413. Just pulled it yesterday...
With winter approaching I'd like to whip the heat
riser into shape, only I don't have the spring or the
dampening screw (for the sound). Anybody know a part
number or a kit number for those pieces?
Also, I want to paint the engine before I stick it
back in. It's the original blue/green color. Anybody
have a paint code for that?
And finally, I'm treating the rust/priming/and
painting the engine cavity, but I don't have the paint
code for the body. It's white, and the plate inside
the engine reads Paint=WW1. Is that all I need to get
the right stuff made up?
As always, thanks a million for the help!
300LY,
Jonathan Sacks

Subject: oil trans. level on '57 Torqueflite
Since yesterday i try to send this message on the list without
result because i sent at wrong adress (...classicar or ....
ls004).
Does someone has the explanations about "how to check oil
transmission". My canadian 57/59 FSM isn't very comprehensive:
you need a rule (don't have rule in inches..) and determine if
engine is cold or hot (easy ..) , if you have an early dipstick,
etc.. If someone as the '57 Chrysler / Imperial FSM and could
send me (privatly) the test, thanks.

Subject: Help!
Anyone have the answer? I need a parking brake cable (not emergency brake) for the push button drive, 1964. My 62 - 300 doesn't have a Park, only Neutral, and the emergency brake. My 64 has Park, which you need to dis-engage to shift into other gears. I have a bad cable and need to replace. Hope someone can help.

Subject: 300F Fuel Filter
Hi all- - My initial sorting out of my "new" F has disclosed a small fuel leak
at the base of the fuel filter, which on further examination may not be the
correct (or the best) configuration. From the fuel pump, the line describes an
"S" curve before turning upwards, at which point an inline fuel filter is
fitted. Its part number is either 9915408 or WIX 33033. I have a feeling that
fuel flow is restricted through the current filter, but before replacing it I
thought I'd check with the Club for recommendations on both configuration and
appropriate in-line filter. Thanks- - Frank MacInnis

Subject: Re: Dual point dist. question
I like to do it with the plugs out & cap and rotor removed .
You can get enough cranking speed that way to be really accurate, you can
also adjust the gap while it is turning to get things right on.
Use a very thin piece of paper to block the points,if there happens to be a
lot of wear in the distributer shaft , a thick piece of cardboard may push
things over to one side and disrupt the settings.

I never recommend dealing with Atlas Motor Parts in Los Alamitos, CA (and

Subject: 300B springs
I'm getting some frame repairs done and am thinking about rear suspension while we're at it. Any good leads or thoughts on rear spings? This one has always seemed to sit very low at the rear. My Dad replaced the springs once, but said the new ones were nearly flat, no arch in them, so it still sat low after he did it.

Hi Frank,
The in-line filter and fuel line configuration you describe is right for
300F. In-line fuel filters are available thru any auto parts store. Ram car
fuel lines 3 piece sets ( in case yours need replacing) are available,
pre-bent, and ready to install, by Inline Tube (http://www.inlinetube.com/)
; not in their regular catalog, but they DO have these in stock , regular
steel or stainless. I recommend the former.
Inline Tube, 33783 Groesbeck Hwy., Fraser, MI., 48026, 800-385-9452. Brake,
carb, fuel, trans lines pre-bent for Chrysler 1940-up. Stainless or regular
steel. Also brake hoses
