Needing to replace the headlight switch on my '62's.  Any helpful hints or

Subject: Re: 300 G motor oil questions

I appologize for the delay, I just got back in town. I am in the process
of reassembling the motor in my G. The dipstick tube is 16 9/16 inches
from the stop where it enters the block to the entry end. The dipstick
itself is 23 5/16 inches from the engine end to the inside of the cup that
goes over the tube. The overall length is 26 3/16 inches.

A couple general and specific questions regarding engine oil for my 300 G
project.

I changed the oil recently with 5 quarts of 10W/40  -- any thoughts on the
grade which is recommended?  

The oil tube and stick do not appear to be original (no stopper on the
stick like the transmission stick).  What is the factory length of the
stick?  Any channels into where one (used, or repo) can be acquired?

Lastly, I have an oil leak and it appears to be coming directly from the
filler cap.  With the oil change I cleaned the cap and resoaked it in oil.
What could be causing a decent amount of oil lose through the cap?  
        -   Could it be air coming through the stick tube described above?

        -   What about a bad PCV value (frankly I can't seem to locate one
--- do these 413 max wedge cross rams have one?)  
        -   Or could it be a vacuum leak (I do have the lines to the
air/heater controls disconnected as I work on the switch in  the
console) 

As always, thanks for the input.   BTW, planning on giving an update on my
electrical challenges soon  -- thanks for all the feedback -- most
helpful.

Subject: Question on survivors

Boy #2 was with me when we investigated a 300-D found in
a field (turns out its an unknown car).

Now he is asking if and of the original Fuel injected D's
are still around and if anyone in the Club has one. Guess he
shared the news of the discovery and has spured some interest
amoungst his school chums.
