Subject: Re: Engine Color
Hi Gary:
I use the regular Plasticote black engine enamel on the engine itself.
The
brackets (do you mean motor mounts?) are black for the most part, but seem
to
have an unpainted area around where they attach to the frame. They were
not
painted with the engine. Do not forget to install the sparkplug wire
brackets
which are retained by the four extreme corner head bolts. These were, of
course, painted with the engine. I initially was not aware of them, so
had to
remove the exhaust manifolds to remove the affected head bolts and insert
the
darn things! The driveshaft and U-joints should be natural. Of course
the rams
are the Cummins engine red. Hope this helps out. 300ly, gil

Subject: Cocktails? I'll Buy Dinner
Heck, I'll raise Mr. Jett one and buy dinner at the next meet.
Just describe how to get the quarter glass windows out of '57 300.
It's a power window car.
The service manual only has a very bad description about manual
windows on a coupe. Don't even see an "allen screw locking the pivot arm".
Tried taking out the "forward vertical section of the glass run". It'll
come loose but is stuck behind the power window stuff. Install directions
even more confusing. Tells you to re-install parts that weren't supposed
to be removed before.
Tempted to just have at it.
Bonus points and dessert for describing the process in layman terms.

Subject: 300C Front Brakes (take 6)
Greetings Chrysler 300 Club Members:
My 300C no longer pulls to the left when braking and the right front brake
no longer locks up when coming to a dead stop! What a joy! To this I say
THANK YOU to the many club members that answered my emails with
suggestions for help. I would particularly like to thank George McKovich
who had the spare parts and could let them go. He took the time to take
them off a vehicle, clean them up, and mail them to me for the cost of
postage!
The New Yorker right front dust shield and brake support plate bolted
right up (after cleaning and painting) and everything else fit perfectly.
The New Yorker brake support plate is slightly different in appearance
looking more like "normal duty" than the "heavy duty" looking 300C plate.
The concealed spring link on the 300C brake support plate bent causing my
problem and my bet is there is nothing heavy duty about this spring. It's
probably the same as the New Yorker piece.
I am very happy to be beyond this problem. My first project after taking
the car from storage next year will be to get the brake pedal up where it
belongs. Until then, I'll dream sweet dreams about driving my 300C.
Sincerely,
Mark Schueller

Subject: '65 Chrysler Radio
Fern,
If you haven't found a radio for your '65 Chrysler, you might be
interested in buying the one I have.
The one I have for sale has both speakers and switch, and wiring. Foot
control unit. The chrome is nice.
Push buttons work. Price is $l50.00 (one hundred fifty dollars) plus
U.P.S. shipping charges. The radio
is boxed and ready to send.
I have more '65 Chrysler parts. If you are interested, let me know the
parts you need.

Subject: Re: Cocktails? I'll Buy Dinner
Warning: To be able to buy Dinner, Ya gotta' be there!
Be very careful working with power window regulators, they are spring
loaded, and very powerful. I have a dent in my forehead from my "L"
regulator which unloaded in my hands. Yea, that's why I'm the way I am,
save
your e-mail remarks!
I knew better, haveing worked on them for years and very aware of the
potential, but got a little careless (and a few beers didn't help).
Fortunatly, I was holding the reg in my hand when I took off the motor.
That
arm shot up into my forehead and the reg spun out of my hand. If it had
been
locked in a vice and culdn't fly away to use up the energy in that spring,
I'd be dead.
There is usually a hole in the reg body or the arm. Install a bolt in one
or
both as a safety to prevent the spring from unloading all the way. What
holds the spring loaded arm in position is the motor, and when you take
off
the 3 bolts holding the motor on and pull the motor off the reg, BAM!! I
also use serious vicegrips clamped onto the reg body until I can devote
all
my attn to easing off the pressure.
If any of the above isn't clear, please ask, as it is very dangerious to
your careless self.

Subject: Good experience buying used parts
Club members,
1. I recently purchased a series of used parts for a '64 Chrysler 300-K
from one of our members on the west coast--Bob Synoground.
2. He was prompt on mailing the items, they were accurately described,
and he threw in a few other items that had not been part of the original
deal.
3. We hear enough about the ones that "stiffed" us, didn't accurately
describe things, etc. Thought it good to let the cat out of the bag about
a good experience. So far I have had only good experiences dealing with
our members--and that spans about 14 or 15 years.
4. I don't see a venue to advise of such in our publications--letters to
the editor or such. So--I am using this means to get out some good word
to at least some of our members.

Subject: 65-up C-body headers
Hi to all,
Reading this month's Mopar Muscle (Jan '04 issue) - page 90 "New Products"
I
see mentionned that:
"the new addition to the TTI exhaust line for the C-body ('65 to '73)
are
these 383 and 440 1 7/8" headers and 2 1/2" or 3" exhaust with Dynomax
mufflers . They are designed to fit stock cast-iron cylinder heads or
Edelbrock aluminium heads, and the exhaust systems are available for
wagons
and passenger cars".

Just what to ask Santa for the 300L ?
