Subject: Re: hemi oil pressure relief valve
The valve your referring to is not the relief valve, but is an anti drainback
check valve. By plugging this portion of the passage you put all of the oil
thru the filter (full flow) rather than bypassing a small portion of it.
There were several reasons for doing this in the older engines, but with
todays oils you will get better performance if you plug this passage. Power
Play can help you out with this. I use a stock oil pump with spin on oil
filter and it has oil pressure as soon as the engine cranks over.

Subject: convertible parts supplier?
Good morning everyone,
can someone recommend a reliable supplier for hydraulic parts for
convertibles? I need replacement hoses for the cylinders on my '70 300.
Unlike my '64 which had rubber hoses this one has clear plastic ones which
disintigrated in my hands. One of the disadvantages of it having spent 30
years in the phoenix desert... everything that's not metal turns to dust. Oh
well... dust is better than rust :)
Thanks
Mike Laiserin

Subject: hemi oil
In reply to Owen's question on hemi engine oil system:
Owen; What you need is a "oil gallery block off valve". This valve directs
ALL oil to the filter on the 354 and 392 Hemi. It can be used with the stock
oil filter and spin on filter. It is a perfect replacement with no machining
required. Have used this valve since the early '60s on my race hemis. Can be
used in "normal" hemis also, but NOT with a high pressure oil pump. You will
find the your oil pressure will be slightly higher than normal when using
this valve, but not excessivly. Do not use more than a rated 30w oil. This
valve also helps to prevent "drain back" when the engine is not running.
It can be purchased from PAW, 21001 Nordhoff, Chatsworth, CA. 91311, phone
818-678-3000, FAX..818-678-3001 Part number HEMI-5340, price, $19.95,
plus shipping. They take credit cards.

Subject: Re: early hemi oil gallery sleeve(s)
I know nothing about the sleeves, but I would call Quality Engineered
Components in West Linn, Oregon for pistons. His number for orders is
888-HEMI-PARTS and his tech line/ fax line is 503-656-4545. My
information is a couple of years old. I have ordered from him a couple
of times before and he was nice, helpful and did what he said. It
appears to be a one man show so a few calls may be necessary. Faxing
your request may be a good idea.
He carries everything from harmonic balancers to stroker cranks for
early hemis.
Also try HOT HEADS (602)671-1222 or hothemiheads.com. They carry about
everything also.
Chris Nielson cams in Farmingon, Utah (801)451-7745 for pistons and a
new (not reground) cam.
I hope this helps,

Subject: Re: convertible parts supplier?
Doing a 55 convertible which spent is life in Arizona. Close to rust free
which is great but covered with sort of a greenish corrosion on plated parts
and bare steel and the interior was a disaster. Gas thank is beautifull on
the inside but bad on the outside?? Actually having to find replacement
parts from my parts cars for stuff I never had to worry about on
restorations of local cars.
Interesting give and take

Subject: 53-56 wire wheels & caps on eBay
For all you guys (and gals!) with C300's or 300B's -
Item number 602128466
I recently bought a set on eBay for my C300, but I must confess I'm not too
happy knowing now that these were out there... But I can't rationalize
dropping ANOTHER $900 on a second set...
I've dealt with this guy before - he has a great feedback rating that is
well deserved.
I looked for a set this nice for months. They're expensive but very rare
and very nice from the looks of them.
btw, who makes the best reproductions of the center caps. The ones I got
were pretty pitted.
300'ly Sean.

Subject: Re: 53-56 wire wheels & caps on eBay
Hello all,
Some comments about wire wheels on Chryslers. First they were a factory
option on the C300 (1955), but were dealer optioned on 300B (1956). When
purchasing these be careful as there are actually three different wheels
used on Chrysler products from 1951 through 1955.
There is the Plymouth/Dodge wheel with the lacing at the outer edge and a 5
lug 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Next is the DeSoto/Chrysler wheel which is also 5
lug 4 1/2" pattern, but the lacing is in about 1". Both of these wheels are
48 spokes. Last is the Imperial wheel which is 5 lug 5 1/2" pattern and is
52 spokes. This wheel is also wider than the Chrysler example although the
lacing is located in the same position.
Another common misquote is they are Kelsey Hays, when in fact they were made
by Motorwheel Corp. Kelsey built wires that were used on Fords and other
products. A Chrysler wheel will bolt on some Fords, but the Ford will not
bolt to the Chrysler due to the center hole being to small to seat properly.
Last is the restoration cost. The last set I had restored for my '55
Imperial Newport soon to be completed cost $350.00 each. These were done
with stainless spokes which cuts the maintance down. If you have the caps
and they are in good shape, leave them alone as most platters will round all
of the edges when replating. The repros that are out now through various
vendors are good. A fellow named Bob Borenstein in So. Calif. was doing
them originally and they were excellent. I haven't seen or heard of him
lately, so I don't know if he is still in the game or not. I'm not familiar
with (btw) mentioned in Sean's info, so I can't comment on them.
Last I would suggest that if you are out searching for these and come across
some. Before you make the purchase be sure that the wheels are for the
application you need. Over the years I've been on wild goose chases and
have seen people buy something that would make a good door stop.

Subject: 300C Power Front Seat frame
Was about to install the electric seat chrome surround and actuator but am having(hopefully) a brain seizure. Can anyone tell me if the frame for the power seat is different than the frame for the non-power seat (the frame I have fits on the power seat assembly). I'm having a difficult time finding anywhere to attach the hardware. This makes me think that I bought this pig with the incorrect front seat(Which I have just re-Goered). Hopefully someone out there will be able to shed some light on my fuzziness. Also, can you tell me if the C has a corresponding chrome piece on the passenger side that matches the drivers' side chrome piece around the power seat switch. I know the D has one.

Subject: Front of radiator support on a '65 300 - Body color or Black?
On my '65 300 Convertible, I had the radiator support painted in the
car's body-color at the time. I do remember it being the same color as
the body was originally. (Although I chose a different color than the
car originally had.)
But I can't help wondering if it really should be like that. Because
when I look at the car from the front, through the grille, I think it
looks kinda "strange" to see the body-color next to the black-radiator
in the middle.
I've got a picture of what I mean here:
http://home01.wxs.nl/~meine119/1stwash-1.jpg
Got some more pics on my homepage if you're interested:

Have I been staring too long at my own cars or what? :o)
