Hi Aussie,
I've lived with Big Block (427 & 454 ci. in.) Corvettes all my adult life
&
have learned some of the problems that make them handle funny. I have
driven
them up to 140 MPH, mostly on race tracks, & never had problems with the
rear
end not tracking properly. Corvettes built between '63 & '82 had the same
basic
frame/suspension system and are prone to two common problems. First, age
deteriorates the rear trailing arm bushings. Second, in the colder
climates where
gobbs of salt are used on the roads, rust will weaken the frame at the
attaching point of the trailing arms. Both of there conditions will cause
the the rear
end to wander or "steer" from the rear.
A properly maintained & aligned rear suspension in a Corvette will produce
cornering results that exceed the capability of our trusty 300's.
300'ly yours,
Jim Bartuska

Subject: hubcaps
I have some 300 hubcaps that I don't know what they fit. Probably they
are for the 300 sport series cars. One part number is 2781645 and other
is 2944428. Does anyone have a way to find what these are for? I have
about 15 hubcaps that I'm planning to bring them to Battle Creek.

Hi Ken,
2944428 is a 1970 Chrysler 300 15" hubcap
2781645 has me confused. I can tell you that 2781644 is a '65 Chrysler
14"
cap, 2781642 is a '65 Chrysler 300 cap, and 2781648 is a '66 Chrysler 14"
cap, but can't find your number.

Subject: front end rebuilding
Hi all
I'm in the process of rebuilding the front end on my 300B and I realized
that there are no data for caster ,camber and toe in adjustment in the
chrysler factory shop manual. Does anybody have these datas?

Subject: Hub cap??????
Hello friends.....
I have just been to a fleamarket and found a hub-cap for 5$.
It's just like my G-hubcaps but with the small difference that
is stamped in the hub: DISC BRAKES. and don't have the
300 center of course.
Can anyone give me year and model???
Thank you in advance.... Johan ( 300-G Conv. )

Subject: 300 wheel covers
While we are discussing wheel covers, I picked up a set at a swap meet
last year. Didn't know what they were at the time but they had 300 on
them. I have since concluded by matching them with pictures on the web
site that they must be for a 70. They are not sharp & all have some dings
& faded paint. I paid $20 for them. If any one can use them I would like
to get my $20 back. I could bring them to Battle Creek if any one is
interested in looking at them. Les

Subject: It Ain't Fair
So I'm bopping down the road, listening to my newly
converted-to-12volt-neg-ground-AM radio (which sounds a lot like a 6 volt
positive ground AM radio), and the "beep beep" song is playing. You know
the one where the guy in the Cadillac is being tailgated by the guy in the
little Nash Rambler. It occurs to me that Corvettes have a song, so do
Cobras and GTO's, even Nash'sand little deuce coups. But there is no 300
song. I suggust we come up with our own song, maybe based on Dean
Martin's
"That's Amore." It could go ...when you step on da gas and get a big
grin,
that's a Mopar....it's got a huge grill and plenty of fins, that's a
Mopar... Or maybe ...I never had a better car than my Chrysler Letter
Car....
you get the idea... Any suggestion?

Subject: speaking of hubcaps
Hi everyone:
Since we are talking about hubcaps, I just want to pass along that we
would love to hear from anyone who comes across spare hub caps for the
'59 or '60. We have a lovely set, but just in case the unthinkable
happens, it would be great to have a spare or two. Keep us in mind if
you come across any...
thanks
