Subject: Re: Another 300C restoration detail poll: Left Valve Cover
Dave Schwandt Here,
One of the reasons for the part # variation on A/C cars was a change in
the
location of the ports for the low pressure return oil line fitting from
the
valve and the air duct operating cylinder from the fill pipe (like on my
57
w/ac vin 2416) to the lower left side of the left valve cover on my D (vin
1662)
By the way, Crazy Wayne, another D with A/C showed up at the fall meet
sporting the "Schwandt Wire" in its A/C compressor harness! Greg, did we
ever figure out what it's for ??

These look to me like the slip-on-cover-up-the-rot dealies and something
any sheet metal or body man could easily duplicate on a break or with a
couple of 2x4s and some C-clamps on a work bench.

Dave,
I didn't even get into the fact there are AC valve covers. What I have
listed are three NON-AC covers for the left side of the 392 with dual
quads.
There are several more valve covers for the AC-optioned cars!

Subject: Hydraulic Lifer 300C Option?
Owen, and anyone else wondering,
Well, technically speaking, one COULD order a 300C with Code 250 or 260
motors which are both 325HP hydraulic lifter motors.
The valve covers I listed as 1851 720 are probably the non-dimpled style
for
the hydraulic lifter motors.
Thanks, Owen for the question which helped clarify that.

So there was a hydraulic lifter 300C option?

Subject: Rocker panels on ebay
To all,
I asked the seller about the rocker panels. This is the response I
received back. I hope someone can use them. He does have two sets. Here
goes:
HELLO THERE THESE ARE AFTER MARKETS BUT ARE JUST AS GOOD AS NOS.
TRUTHFULLY I
HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY NOS OUT THERE SO THERE MUST BE VERY FEW STILL AROUND.
THE
GAUGE I DONT KNOW ABOUT BUT I CAN SAY THIS. I HAVE 2 SETS OF THESE MAD BY
2
DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS AND THE SET THAT YOUR LOOKING AT IS THE THICKER
GAUGE
THAN THE OTHER SET I HAVE THATS MADE BY MADE-RITE. THESE ARE "46"INCHES IN
LENGH AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD A COMPLAINT ABOUT THEM SO YOU SHOULD BE REAL
HAPPY WITH THEM IF YOU GET THEM....FRANK
