Subject: RE: Vancouver B.C. info
I live in the Greater Vancouver area and just looked for some local events
that you might be interested in. All I found at the end of February was an
Auction and Car Show at the Abbotsford Tradex center (about an hours drive
outside of downtown Vancouver). http://www.fvtradex.com or
http://www.abbotsfordcollectorcarshow.com will give you some idea of what to
expect.
The availability of rare Chryslers is very limited in Canada it seems and
most of the Hemi cars, Ram cars, etc. we see at shows here have come from
the U.S. in recent years. There are lots of nice Antiques, Vintage, and Hot
Rods in B.C. but many of them are seldom seen at shows in Vancouver.
Unfortunately, unless you happen to know someone here with a letter car you
will likely never see one, much less find one in a barn. I've only ever
layed eyes on two my entire life. As for wreckers, there really isn't much
in the area either. The only real 'Mopar only' wrecker is mostly full of
rusty B, E and A bodies along with a few 4 door C bodies (usually from the
70's). Not exactly Chrysler paradise though the sites are worth the trip
alone, especially if the weather is nice.
I'll see if I can find any more events or think of anything car related that
might interest you. There are at least three members here, myself included,
maybe we could get together?

Well, did anyone on here pursue that no frills 300K on e-bay?
It seems to have gone for $2700.

Subject: Engine Smoking, any suggestions?
Smokes worse when cold, and has low compression in three cylinders. Trying
to put off overhaul as long as I can but still would like to drive. Any one
stop oil burning additive that better than another? Tried STP, and also pure
synthetic oils as suggested with no luck. Open to any suggestions on a product
that might work temporarily thanks hal

Hi Hal, First is whether the engine has a lot of miles and the rings
are worn out, or did it sit for a long time and the rings are just
stuck. If the rings are worn out there's not to much you can do. If
the rings are just stuck there are a few additives that you might try.
Right now I can't think of any brand names but there out there. When I
worked as a mechanic for Chev. people would trade in cars that had your
problem. We carried a additive in the parts dept. that we used to
desolve carbon. We would warm the engine up to operating temp. Then
while working the throttle we would poor it down the carb. very slowly.
It would smoke like crazy out the exhaust. When we had about 1/2 can
left you then pulled the throttle wide open and at the same time you
dumped the rest of the can down the carb.. flooding the cylinders and
killing the engine. Then we let it sit over night. or even two days.
Then start the engine and take it out for a hard drive. Most of the
time it would work.
Go to a parts house and either ask for help or read the labels for
something that helps desolve carbon. I know there used to be a lot of
people who would use ATF oil, but I don't think it worked as well.
Worth a try. Gary Barker

Subject: Swivel seats
Hi all,
Does anyone know the differences between the swivel seats of 1959
versus 1960? I want to put original looking seats into my 1960 New
Yorker and there's a set from a 1959 on eBay right now I'm
considering. One of the strange things is that the 1959 appears to be
out of a 4-door model. Has anyone ever seen swivel seats in a 4-door
before? Item #2453708670.
Thanks,
Gary Runkel
Canton, MI

Gary -
Swivel seats were available for all models, including station wagons. The
only difference was the retainer that kept the seat backs from rocking
forward in the 4dr models, as opposed to a springy thing that was used in
the 2dr models.
I think you're taking a risk trying to fit 59 swivels into a 60, since
everything changed between the two years.
Ron
