Subject: F-headers
I have recently found a picture of an F-300 (1960) it showed the 400 HP model with manual transmission. What is also showed was the headers that were used on the car . Does anyone have a set (a) or have a blue print for same (b) I have the picture from a 1960 magazine showing the headers . they were suggesting that it contributed a great deal to the extra 25 horse . Thank you, I can E-mail pictures if anyone wants a peek a booo !!!!!.
Thanks
Meisner in were talking cold, really cold in Canada !!

Subject: Re: Floor pans for '62 chrysler Hdt
I believe a '69 Charger floor pan is a nearly identical floor pan to the
'62-'64 full-size Chryslers. I'm not sure of the differences, but I'm
told they are minor. I'm telling you this from memory, though. I'd
double-check the exact year, body style, and other details before you
buy and start cutting.
This comes from a '62-'64 owner who used such a pan, I believe in a '64
Dodge Custom 880.
I have the exact details in an archived email somewhere and can dig it
out if you really need me to, but you might be able to verify elsewhere.
Those Charger pans are available new somewhere for sure. I have two '64
convertibles, a Custom 880 and a 300K, that both need floor pans, so I'm
interested in hearing how yours turns out. Wanna buy in bulk?
Don't cannibalize the hardtop.

Subject: headers
I should have pointed out that the pictures I have of the F-Headers are from the June 1960 Motor Life Magazine , on the 400 hp model. were they are doing their test drive. Headers as well all know can improve the power in the engine by 8 to 10 percent in draining the exhaust . That's were my interest came in. I have sent pictures of them via E-mail to anyone that wants them.
Regards
Meisner

I've been wondering for long time.....On pages 94 & 95 of the book Chrysler 300 "America's Most Powerful car" by Robert Ackerson it shows what appears to a (red?) F 4Speed Convertible. Was this an actual car ? Any thoughts all ?
Thanks

Subject: Floor pans for '62 chrysler Hdt
Hi there,
I need a patch for my '62 as well, left front floor, by the gas pedal. Could
someone confirm that Year One's MS33LH will work, or is it another one of
the repro pans? check the list at:
http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/fbshopmain2.asp?cat=1 ; go to "body" and
then select "Partial Inside Floor Pan Panels"

Subject: Metal Crafters 300 Qtr. Panel
I have need for the forward portion of a Right side( passenger) qtr panel.
The specific area is from the wheel lip forward. It will save some work. I am
wondering if there is someone out there who only needed the rear portion and
has a leftover. Would be glad to split the expense.

Subject: Re: Floor pans for '62 chrysler Hdt
Ken & others,
If a '68 Charger floor pan fits, then any '66 to '70 "B" body pan will also work. There's quite a bit of difference between a "B" body and a full size Chrysler, but the "B" floorpan possibly could be further fabricated to fit. I'd be interested in exactly what modifications are necessary.
Be careful that full '60 & '61 floorpans are different than '62 - '64 in that the transmission hump is smaller on the latter. Not a huge issue on a '62 letter car as the same console is used(with wood block spacers), but '63 and '64 consoles are different and will not fit '60 & '61 full pans. '62 - '64 pan will not fit any '60 or '61 due to clearance problems with the cast iron transmission. Hope I made that clear as mud!!
I can't imagine that in California and the southwest there isn't a rust free floorpan available. I would check the salvage yards that specialize in old cars before cutting up a restorable '62 sport hardtop.

but there's a possibility that a '62 & up bench seat could have clearance problems.

Hi Val and All:
That picture was doctored by Chrysler to look like a four speed by blackening
out the ash receiver. The shifter boot area on an actual 4 spd car is much
more square in shape, and the gearshift lever not so straight. There is only
one 4spd convert, and it is white. 300ly, Gil C.

Subject: Solex Tinted Side Glass Needed
Hello.....
I am looking for good (without scratches or pits) original solex tinted door
and quarter window glass for a 1957-1959 Chrysler or Desoto
Fireflite/Firedome 2 door hardtop (coupe). I do not need the vent glass or
the chrome trim. I only need one of each for the door and quarter panel but
would buy two of each if necessary.
Please email with availability, condition and prices.
Thanks
George
