Subject: '61 Torqueflites
Hi all,
Need some info and advice.
Are all 1961 Chrysler Torqueflites the same? (ie; Newports, New Yorkers,
and
300G's.)
What is the model number if all the same? (ie; 727, 745?)
Is the '62 Torqueflite the same?
I'm in need of filter and gasket set for my '61 Newport torqueflite and
NAPA
only has listing for a '62. (NAPA # 1-7956)
Any sources for filter and gasket set for my '61 Newport (361 engine) ??
Thanks,
John Cote,
'61 Newport (300 wanabe)

After waiting 6 weeks for an estimate for radio repair from Classic Car
Radio, Northern California, I received an estimate of 795.00 Does this
seem
out of line to anyone else?
thanks hal

Hi Hal,
You don't mention whether this is for a straight repair to stock , or a
high-powered AM-FM conversion, or whether it's for a 7-button
signal-seeker
as opposed to a 5 button radio..
For that kind of money, I'd go for the conversion... it's less than the
amount you mention for a Search-Tune and
the results are awesome without altering the external appearance of the
radio.
I have had mine done by Antique Automobile Radio, 700 Tampa Rd., Palm
Harbor, FL., 34683. (800) 933-4926, Fax (727) 789-0283.
John

Subject: Car Cover for 70 Hurst
Everyone,
Does anyone have a good source, or suggestion to buy a Cover for a 70
Hurst.
There seems to be a lot of options, quality, sizes, exc..., and I am
hoping
someone else has been through all of this, and found a great fitting cover
at a reasonable price.
Thanks
Paul Thomassen

Charles,
You need to be replying to Ted via private emial, not over the club
listserver about prices on pieces, etc. It appears to be a one sided
conversation, as I have not seen his letters to you on the server, unless
I
have missed them.

Hal,
Follow John's advice and get an estimate from Antique Auto Radio In FL.
The place you mentioned is way out of line.
I live in California and used the above company and was very happy for a
fraction of the cost.

Subject: Re: Differential rebuild
Hello, everyone:
I am looking for a reliable rebuild shop or club member who overhauls
differentials for '64s and earlier. I picked up a 3.23 limited slip at
Carlisle for $125.00 (a 742 no less) and suspect it needs some work as
there
were appreciable amounts of caked grease on the carrier, especially around
the prop shaft flange area. Any direction would be appreciated.
As an aside, I brought my brake drums and shoes to the local brake shop.
No
one knew how to arc the shoes or even knew this was part of a brake
overhaul. I guess this is a dying art form.
Best regards,
Ron Kurtz
E #292
(please rest assured, the 3.23 is for my '64 Newport)

Hi Gang -
A while back, there was a post that DChrysler was going to be repro'ing
patch panels for letter cars. Is there any additional news on that ?
Thanks,
Ron

John,
1962 was the first year for the aluminum case torquflite, everything
previous to then was the cast iron variety.
I don't remember if the filters are different, they probably are.
383/400 gaskets fit just fine, except the valve covers-later ones have two
more bolt holes in the corners.
All Chrysler products V-8 spin on oil filters fit the same and are
virtually interchangable.

Regaring brake shoe arcing, I witnessed this is trade
school between 1971 and 1973. Our shop teachers were
from the old school:timing by ear, feeler gauges for
points, manual tire changers and a shoe arcing
machine.
We were replacing the drum brakes on a Ford (sorry
folks, I was weak) and oversize shoes were sent to us
by the parts store. There was no time to find standard
shoes so the arcing machine was readied. 5 or 6
students stood and watched as the shop teacher used
the arc machine to bring the linings down to size.
This wasn't the intended purpose of the machine but it
worked. Sure made alot of asbestos dust that we all
breathed in but I'm still kicking.
