Subject: Brake Drum availability '57 to '62 this fall
Just got my latest Kanter catalog. They will be selling reproduction brake
drums for all '57 to '57 Chrysler products using either 11" or 12" brakes.
Catalog price is $95 and availability is expected in October. Good news
for those of you running on marginal drums. For further information
please contact Kanter directly 1-800-526-1096, I am only the messenger.
300ly

Hi,
I've put on my site a page about throttle/ kickdown valves, throttle
lever etc... Itsn't a fact page but rather an inquiry page !! I'm not
sure of what i assume about position of the k.d valve. I've taken some
measurements of the throttle lever according to the position of the k.d
valve. Best is to look at pics (and text). Let me know if i'm right or
wrong .

Subject: 300K Parts Car available
Hey group-
I have a 300K hardtop parts car that I will need to find a new home for
within a month or so. The car is in Port St. Lucie, Florida, about 60
miles north of West Palm Beach. I do not have the VIN with me at the
moment. There is no title.
It has a white/red interior, power driver's seat, manual reclining (works)
pass seat, AM radio, air, p/w.
The car has the following parts removed already:
engine/trans (orig 360/Torqueflite- both gone before I got it)
radiator
a/c parts
driver's door
power window motors
door panels
Overall condition is poor. Side & rear glass is very good. The car has
surface rust and some rust thru around the rear rocker panels. The trunk
lid is unusable. There is a small amount of rust thru on the passenger
floor and trunk floor. There are small dents here & there, but most of the
passenger rear quarter is pushed in 1-2".
E-mail me with your photo requests. The car is about an hour from me, and
I'll be there this afternoon.
Preferably, I'd like to have it go all at once. I think it should bring
$150 or so. I am open to offers.
Thanks.
John Spiers, Lake Worth, Florida

Never played around with older cast-iron trans. I would like to add that
1970 +newer had partial-throttle
kick-down,-pre-70 you must floor it for KD.

I agree with RayJones. I have adjusted float arm on sending unit many
times.
Make sure you bend
it the right way.

Subject: Re: kickdown,
When I had my tranny rebuilt (66/300), I had the shop install a valve body
from a 70's Chrysler. It's essentially a drop-in replacement for the '66
valve body. I now have part-throttle kickdown. It's great!

Hi to all-
To the couple of members who asked--

I think Gloria may have this, but with the folks asking today, I am not
sure. She will have it now!
Thanks
