Hi John,
The vacuum tank on the 61 Windsor I parted out was indeed partially under
the battery tray in the engine compartment. Different brackets than the
under the fender style too.
300ly,
Don

Subject: Monday Hemi story

Just had to share a great car experience from yesterday.
I had my 300G vert out for a Sunday drive (it's cold here in Massachusetts, but no sand or salt trucks out yet) when I came to a stop light on a 4-lane road in my town.

I was sitting in the right lane at the red light, when a rather large Dodge Ram pickup truck slooowly pulled up on my left. The passenger window was down, and the guys in the truck were obviously car guys checking out the G.

I could not resist the temptation, so I put my window down and shouted up to the passenger in the truck, "Hey, that thing got a Hemi?". To my surprise and glee, the passenger laughed a bit and shot back, "You're about to find out, let's go!". So the light turned green, I 'semi' punched the gas, just enough to leave in a straight line, but with tire squeal and a nice 20 ft or so of black stripe on the pavement behind me, and I think I startled them to the point that the driver of the truck backed off for a second, which was all I needed. We all had wide smiles on our faces, and I wish I could have had the moment on film. These guys were total strangers to me, but the whole episode went as smoothly as any Dodge commercial you've ever seen. Just had to share it with folks who would understand.

Regards,
John

Don,
I seem to remember that as well from a Windsor I parted a long time ago. Maybe the short-fendered cars have a different setup than the long-fendered ones?

Subject: Re: Part # For 1960 300 F Cam

Hi All:
The correct PN for the 300F and G is 2129203, as stated. This is an assembly
PN, however, of PN 141194 indexing pin and PN 2129201 camshaft (Number on
camshaft drawing). This is the way one would get the cam from service. I would
doubt, therefore, that the 2129203 number would ever be on the cam itself.
Certainly the #2129804 is for something else.
In the '70s sometime, I purchased a 2129203 camshaft from Chrysler, and that
is the one the Club used to make the master for all the "Club Cams" available
today. Since they utilize any appropriate core for regrinding, most any
number might be found on them. Hope this helps clarify, rather than confuse. I
have not heard of any problems with the Club cam which has been "in production"
for many years. 300ly, Gil Cunningham

Subject: Advice needed: 413 and 727 leaks

Hi 300 folk,

Well, the 413 transplant into my Pace Setter is one of those 'one step forward
and two steps back' affairs. I finally got to where I could put fluids in it
and two fairly familiar MoParly leaks immediately made themselves known.

1) The pushbutton shift cable where it enters the transmission housing.
Where do you get a new O ring for the cable? Does that really stop the leak
or are there tricks you have learned over the years to stop this thing from
leaking?

2) The rear of the rocker covers, which are the old 4-stud variety that likes
to 'canoe' when attached. Oil is pouring past the nice new cork gasket on the
left rear corner. Should I go with a cast aluminum non-stock rocker cover
set, or is there a secret 300 Club way to get the oil to stay inside the cover
with the stock ones?

All advice gratefully gobbled up. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving
holiday.

Cheers,
Doug Jones

Subject: Re: disc brake swap

Hi all:

John's conversion to discs on his G is as he advertises. At the Meet in
Dayton, he left me drive it out to the drags and we got kind of "lost" on the
country roads around there. While on this sojourn, he asked me to test the brakes
and compare them with my conversion to discs on my F. I did indeed test them
and they stop the car right now. They felt just like the F, really good. He
uses slider-type calipers whereas I use pin-type.

Ya dun gud John!

Subject: Chrysler 300 Hurst oil pressure

I have a 300 Hurst with 77,044 miles on it. Drove it about 10 miles then
changed the oil. I used 10W30 Valvoline oil and Ford Motorcraft FL-1A oil
filter, the equivalent of Fram PH8A oil filter. Oil filter removed was FRAM PH8A.
After changing the oil, the oil pressure light stayed on ( no oil pressure
gauge on my car ). I replaced the oil pressure sending unit to the oil pressure
light, but still the light stays on, so apparently no oil pressure?

Any suggestions on resolving this oil pressure problem? I considered
removing oil pressure sending unit and installing mechanical oil pressure gauge to
confirm no oil pressure. Also I talked to NAPA about a new oil pump - they sell
a standard one, a high performance one, and a high performance and high
volume. Which one to buy if it turns out to be a failed oil pressure pump? Thank
you. Steve in Columbus, Ohio.
