Subject: World Trade Center
Hello All,
As I sit here this morning pondering what has happened in the past 24
hours,
I feel the need to say something about it all, but am without words to
express my feelings. I am numb.
I remember December 7th, 1941, in Detroit, being a small child listening
to
the radio and asking my Father if the bombing would happen to us. He told
me
it would not. His word has stood good for all these years, but apparently
my/our time of innocence has passed. We must all continue our lives, but
we
will never forget this day, as I still remember Pearl Harbor, so long ago.
I pray for the well being of all those harmed by this unspeakable act, and
I
prey for all of us, and our Nation.
At the same time I hope that Our Lord, IN HIS WISDOM, is swift and sure
in
meeting out Justice to those who have done this deed, and to those who
harbor
them.
I hope you all are well.... you are in my thoughts today.
Joe

Subject: Chrome Trim Sealing
Have a question regarding how to seal the chrome trim
that runs along the small fins on my 64 300K. The trim
is attached to the fins by studs connected to the trim
that bolts directly to the underside/inside of the
fin. Water has recently started to leak into the trunk
from this area. Is there a special type of sealant or
washer that needs to be replaced??? If so what should
I use to seal the trim???
Thanks in advance,
Sean

To everyone who shares concern and caring for all America, I as an
American, thank you. This has deeply affected us all. When we suffer
this way, we become stronger. We will not be beaten down.

Subject: RADIO CONVERSION and low voltage problems
Hi Ted,
I have had radio conversions done by Antique Automobile Radio, 700 Tampa
Rd., Palm Harbor, FL., 34683. (800) 933-4926, Fax (727) 789-0283 .
Results have been satisfactory, especially since they stated using new
"kits" recently. The newer conversion get better FM reception and less
drift. They also have line outputs, but no inputs that I know of,
therefore
you'll have to use an RF converter-type device to be able to play a CD
player thru the radio.
A couple relevant facts:
1/ Make sure to tell them you do NOT want an LED installed in the radio
face
( as they did to one of my conversions, for whatever reason. I find the
orange light ( FM Stereo) in the middle of the dial area bothersome. It
is
NOT visible when the radio is turned off.
2/ These radios are very susceptible to low voltage conditions. This is a
common problem in our older Chryslers.
It seems to be worse in the 65 and younger cars, actually, than in the
older
ones ! I know that if I connect a voltmeter to my fuse block in the '65
300L, and turn the lights on, and let the engine idle ( like at night) in
Drive, the voltage goes down to as low as 8 or 9 volts ! Well, the solid
state FM conversions don't like that low voltage at all. What happens is
that you will hear popping sounds coming out of the speakers everytime
ANYTHING electrical is activated when a low voltage situation is present.
For instance, pressing on the brake pedal, or releasing same will cause an
audible POP ( only when engine is idling in Drive and with lights on..)
The 65 - 66 Chryslers ( not sure about the later years) are notorious for
having poorly designed wiring systems .
I have yet to see one of these cars that does not DISCHARGE drastically at
low idle, with the lights on, such as when one is driving at night. If you
happen to be using the a/c or the fan blower, it's even worse. There's an
article in the September 2001 isuue of Car Craft magazine (page 102 and
103)
that outlines a fix for this problem . It's rather involved and includes
some rewiring as well as switching to a higher output GM alternator.
I wish to state that the ONLY reason I am not wholly satisfied with the FM
conversions is because of the problems caused by low voltage being
supplied
to the radio when at idle in Drive , and especially at night with the
lights
on. The popping sounds are annoying. But it is not fair, in my opinion, to
blame the FM conversion for this shortcoming, which is actually one that
originates with the car itself.
I suggest that anyone having any interest in this just connect a voltmeter
to their fuse blocks and watch the reading of the meter, when driving it
should be up to about 13 volts, but you might be amazed at the low voltage
readings you'll get when you get to a stop light... then try it with your
lights on.... then with the fan blower on... !
John
