Subject: Re: auto headlight dimmer
Hi All:
The automatic headlight dimmer (an option of dubious value, in my humble
opinion!) was offered on the Chrysler brand in 1959 and 1960 only. It continued
to be available on the Imperial thru 1963. I do not remember how it attached
to my 300F I/P, as it has been too many years since I took it apart. Sorry I
can't help on that part of the question. 300ly, Gil

Hi All:
Thank you, Imperial experts!! A quick check of my sales liturature showed
the headlight dimmer available thru at least 1968, although it was described as
"cowl mounted" in that year. Chris H. has filled y'all in on the rest. I'll
get back to Chrysler 300s! 300ly, Gil

My first 300F (in 1964) had the headlight dimmer. I was 24 years old and
wanted all the options to work on my car as I was VERY proud of it. The dimmer
was just too much trouble so I turned it off and never used it after the first
week. My current F has such an option also but I have never tried to use it
as the car is almost never out at night. Should there be a question about its
attachment, I can look at the obvious......exactly where it is attached to the
dash pad....but how is probably hard to determine as looking up at the bottom
of the dash pad from underneath is not going to work without Superman's xray
vision.

Subject: auto headlight dimmer
Re: headlight dimmer, I have found that this device is most excellent ! It
reacts faster than my foot as far as dimming the lights when oncoming
traffic approaches... and it never forgets to do so. It works extremely
well. The only time I have to use the foot dimmer to over-ride it is when
approaching another car from the rear.... then, the dimmer does not
recognize that there is a vehicle in front of me.
One curious / funny dimmer-related story... I was approaching the 4-way
intersection near my home, late one night, when my headlights began flashing
back and forth, between high and low beam, continually.... this completely
unnerved me until I realized that the headlight dimmer was "seeing" the
flashing yellow "caution" light at the intersection, about 1/4 mile away,
and acting on the headlights accordingly !

Hey Gil,
In your message you mention your "300F I/P". Please tell what a "300F I/P"
is. The I/P is probably an abbreviation for something but for the life of me
I can not think of what it might me. I hope its not something so obvious
that I go "duh".
Charlie

Subject: Late word on right side mirror question
Hi 300 folk,
Sorry to wander in late, but I just got around to clearing out my
personal email and found the dialog regarding right fender outside
mirrors. I will tell you that I found one on a junked car when I was
collecting parts for my '63 Pace Car back in the mid-70's. I removed
it, screws and all, measured the location of it and installed it on my
car exactly as it had been. So I can say with certainty that this IS an
original mirror and it IS correctly mounted. It has two struts. It
otherwise looks just like the remote LH one. It does not have the
separate base piece the LH one has - it's just mirror and gasket right
onto the fender.
If somebody wants a picture of this mirror I will be happy to provide
one. I can tell you that it is functionally useless, but it does look
kind of cool, and I have seen very few of them over the years.
Cheers,
Doug Jones

Subject: RE: Late word on right side mirror question
I guess I have to chime in here on the mirror issue, since I need a break from trying to glue the unglueable vinyl to my 57 door panels and getting totally frustrated.
I had an NOS right side mirror for 61/62 in it's original box with paper template that was marked for cars with and without power antennae, to show the dealer exactly where to mount it.
I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in my G fender, so I sold it a few years ago at Carlisle.
Anyone out there recommend an upholstery glue that an amateur can apply without thousands of dollars of equipment?
John

Subject: Chrysler camshaft specs.
Does anyone have information on how Chrysler camshaft specifications for lift, BDC, overlap, etc. is calculated or measured verses those from after market suppliers such as Isky, Crane, Stinger.
A friend axed me this and I have no idea at all but he believes that these specs are figured differently. I told him that I will try to find out and figured this was by far the best place to do so. He believes that some camshafts are calculated with a .050 figure and others with zero.
Thanks
