Subject: 4spd F folders
Howdy Y'all,
The limited printing folder which shows a dark colored 4spd 300F
convertible on its cover was produced for three auto shows and with the
discontinuation of the offering of the 4spd / 400HP package, the folder
was also discontinued. There are actually 3 versions of the folder
carrying different info in one "box" regarding F facts or dealers
depending on the city where it was available at the show.
As Gil Cunningham has told me, the presence of the 4spd shifter in the
photo was done with photo touch-up by Chrysler's photography department
and that is why there are also torqueflite push buttons barely visible in
the photo as well as no clutch pedal, particularly with a magnifying
glass. So, this is not a "real" 4spd F convertible in a dark color. It
is actually a retouched photo of "just another" F torqueflite convertible.
There remains throughout history and to date only one 4spd / 400HP F
convertible and it is white.
So John Cote, check your barn again, as I was in there just a week ago
taking notes on your stick shift 390HP 300C phaeton. I think you will
find that those darn raccoons did more than just get into the F; they
very selectively chewed on the stick shift, the clutch linkage, the short
rams, the headers, and that big old Pont-a-Mousson trans and left you with
a car you are going to have a very hard time documenting at this point.
Anyone else believing they have a 4spd F out back, please call me.
Wayne

Subject: brake squeaks, locks, grabs, side pull, etc.. (57)
I think that at one or another time, the post title is correct for mine
... ( difference between "squeals" and "squeaks" ?)
I had no time to investigate my front wheels, maybe in some days so i'll
keep you informed of what i find. Regarding the numerous replies, the
first thing to check is contamined lining and leaking wheel cylinders.
I precise some infos about my brakes:
Fluid: silicon - Last major overhaul: 3 years old with these new parts:
master and wheel cylinders, linings, flexible hoses, brake lines. "old"
parts: return springs, brake support plates . Front drums has been
turned, i replace (after the problem occured) the left one with another
original. Seems that problem disapears but after 1 or 2 weeks, the
"cold" locking came back.
About disc brakes improvement: i tried to find a kit (AAJ) but here is
their reply:
> We are building a kit for 57-62 Imperial We just picked up a spindle
> today, we are probably 2 weeks away from having a kit. The kit will
> use 12" Rotors, 5 on 5 .5" but a 14" wheel will not clear. To use a
> 14" wheel you can't use a rotor larger then a 11", it won't clear the

> Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, and Plymouth. At least bearing size, inner
> being A-6 and the outer being A-2, Imperials use larger wheel
> bearings A-5 inner and A-3 outer.
I don't want to buy a set of 15" wheels, a set of 15" tires and a set of
15" wheelcovers..
About "trigger arm" adjustement, see what says the 57-59 FSM canadian
version (more pics than in the '57 US FSM) at
http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f/images2/brake1.jpg . I think that this
adjustement could alter the "strenght" of the booster.
Also some tips about "squeaking" brakes , see
http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f/images2/brake2.jpg . I don't understand
very well how grooving the lining !! side to side ? top to bottom ?
diagonal ? This applies to P30 D64 rear brakes. Not for front brakes ?
Thanks to all who reply, i'll let you know what occurs.
PS: i'm sure i've a contamined lining: it's the ...rear left which was
cleaned but not replaced after an axle leakage. But it's at the rear ...

I have purchased parts from these people which I no longer do. The
delivery
is fine but I had trouble with my judgement of condition and theres. It
could
well be me. The parts weren't enough value for the return postage so I
just
stopped buying

To all,
My experience with Moore's pretty much is the same as the recent ones
posted
here. Lousy communications, never returned calls or faxes... I have given
up on trying to purchase something from them.
I will add that I stopped in to their yard in 1995 or thereabouts, and
that
they were very nice folks in person...

Subject: Re: Parking Brake Cable Retainer
Hello, everyone:
I am looking for a retainer that keeps the cable in the parking brake
pedal
assembly. It's for a 1964 Chrysler. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? Thanks.
Best regards,
