Subject: FW: KYB Shocks for a Hurst
Hi All,
I know that some of you have used KYB shocks on your 300's.
I've heard that KYB's are available for Hursts.
* Does anyone know for sure that they fit and are right for the Hurst
(stroke etc.).
* Where can one get a set and what's the approximate price?
Thanks for any guidance. Appreciate it.

Subject: 300H power brake booster
Hi, Group,
If I wanted to change my power brake booster and someone asked me if I had
a
15/16" push rod extension or a 1 9/16" push rod extension, what would be
my
answer? What push rod are they talking about, the one that goes from the
booster into the master cylinder or the one attached to the brake pedal?
If
they mean the push rod that goes into the master cylinder, do I measure
the
adjustable threaded part that effects the adjustment? And why would it
matter if the booster comes with the master cylinder? Since I've had this
car on the road my brake pedal is low. When I adjust the rod into the
master cylinder to give me better pedal, the brakes do not relieve
pressure.
I think the problem is that the booster is wrong for the car. It is new
and
I don't know where the previous owner bought it. It doesn't look like
boosters I've seen on other Chryslers. Is it possible that the pedal rod
contact point inside the booster is too far away from the pedal assembly?
This might cause excessive pedal travel. Everything else in the brake
system is new also. I think I've made every possible adjustment and
checked
every component for proper operation, but I don't know much about
boosters.
Thanks,
Mark Souders

Subject: RE: seen Gary Goers
I like the idea of a "Gary Goers Sighting". The image that came to my
feverish brain was the video footage of Big Foot emerging not from the
forest, but from a car show. He is tall enough, but lighter haired and
hopefully less furry.

Subject: [Chrysler300] seen Gary Goers
Just came back from a great Mopar show held in Lethbridge Alberta
and
was pleased to see Gary Goers show up with his nice 1958 300D black ht
plus
a nice looking lady in his company who apparently is from Florida. The
were
leaving from there to attend a show in Amarillo (not sure on correct
spelling) Texas. So things are looking up everyone, as Gary will return
home in a few weeks time all rested up from a great holiday.
Unfortunately,
I missed the evening social but understand that Gary is a well
accomplished
singer if he wants to.

Subject: "F" Interior Upholstery for sale.
I just finished installing a "Goers" interior in my
300F. What a beautiful application this was.
My upholsterer carfully removed the old seat covers by
removing the hog rings and ensuring the covers
remained intact. They are re3makably good for 43 years
with no rips or broken seams.
They seem too good to throw away so if anybody is
interested in original seat material for an F let me
know.
Here is the scoop:
Complete covers for all 4 bucket seats including backs
and center armrest covers. Were dyed a few years ago
by a previous owner and appear lighter than original.
Would redye nicely with todays better products.
Recommed installation by a professional.
A low cost alternative to a new interior if you are
budget conscious.

Subject: Re: 300H power brake booster
Mark,
There's a tiny hole in the top of the master cylinder bore that opens up
into the fluid reservoir, when the piston is all the way retracted. When
you adjust the pushrod you have to make sure the rubber cup on the piston
is far enough back to open that hole , otherwise your brakes won't release
completely.

Subject: RE: 300H power brake booster
Mark:
Have you adjusted the brake shoe clearance on each brake? I believe that
if you tighten up this adjustment (within reason), you will find that you
will have a slightly higher pedal as the shoes do not have to move as far
before contacting the drum.
Note: The brake shoe adjusting cams do not all tighten in the same
direction. Front brakes adjust differently than the rear brakes.
Refer to section Five in your Factory Service Manual (Service Brakes). If
you do not have this reference material, send me an E-Mail and I will
forward the instructions on adjusting each brake drum.

Subject: 1961 300G
Hi,
Started my G a week ago with no problem. Never have had a problem on
turning the engine!! Three days ago, nothing but a click. I hit what I
think is the solenoid (sits on the starter, doesn't it?) and the engine
turned but didn't catch, then nothing but a click since.
#1. The solenoid does attach to the starter motor, doesn't it? It's not
away from the starter, like on the fender well, is it?
#2. Three years ago, May 2000, the Chrysler 300 Club published a list of
NAPA parts numbers for the 300G, and in it it has ST-103 Starter
Solenoid...
w/MDT starter. What's a MDT starter? It also has a ST-106 Starter
Solenoid...w/1889200 starter.
As you know, the starter, viewed from underneath, is hindered with the
exhaust, as well as other stuff, and looks very difficult to get at.
Looks
impossible to get at from above. Am I correct??? What's the proper way
to
get at it? What's the proper way to identify the starter motor?
Could my problem be something other than the solenoid??
I am by no means a mechanic, but I would like to get
the proper item to repair my problem before taking it to my mechanic, if
I
can.
Thanks very much for your response and help. Cheers.
Tony

Tony,
The solenoid is definitely on the starter. From what you've said, the
solenoid is the problem. I suggest you either have the existing one
rebuilt, or find a GOOD rebuilt.
When I rebuilt mine 15 years ago, the rebuild explained to me that there
were 3 different field coils fitted in the starter, depending on
application. He checked and found that the Dodge Power Wagon had the
heaviest field coil, and that they used it until 1965. I told him to
install that part. I was surprised to hear that Chrysler was still using
non-gear reduction starters in '65. (Anyone else heard/know this?) He
replaced the part, rebuilt the unit, and I haven't had a starter problem
in 15 years.
Prior to the starter rebuild, I was experiencing "heat soak" (engine hard
to turn when hot). The starter I originally installed was a rebuilt
off-the-shelf unit with the smallest field winding in it. The problem left
and never returned. No more heat soak...none...zip.
I verified the part number (CHRYSLER No. 1889200) from the A.E.A. tune-up
spec's very kindly sent to me by Mr. Fern Rivard a number of years ago.
It's been a long time since I removed my starter, so I won't comment on
the R&R, except to say, that It wasn't very difficult and took about 2
hours, not rushing. Take a look at the factory service manual or a
Motor's or Chilton and read the section on starter removal
