Subject: Re: Antenna Templates
Brian:
At one point, Bob Merritt was gathering templates for the antennas
for
the 1963- 1964 cars. You might want to send them to him, since he has the
others. We would then have a central location for the information, should
anyone need it. Just a suggestion.

Subject: Antenna Templates
Just got back from the Iola, Wisconsin car show. Picked up an odd
item I thought someone out there might be able to use. There are 4
templates to locate the location to drill the hole when installing
an antenna on the right front fender. These are for the 1957, 1958
and 1959 Chrysler as well as the Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth.
Apparently certain Dodge and Plymouth models set the mirror in
different locations depending upon whether it is a "Remote" style
mirror or not. Also includes a 1 page "MoPar" diagram showing the
assembly instructions for the antenna itself. If someone can use
this for their project or just wants it for the information to add
with their literature and shop manuals/parts books, please email me
privately. My cost of $12 plus $1 for postage please. First one to
respond gets them.
Thank you,
Brian Frank

Subject: Batwing Air Cleaner
I am bidding on a Batwing Air Cleaner to replace the one missing on my
C300.
My question is, what is the value of this air cleaner. I don't want to
pay
too much but I also really need one to complete my car. Any help would be
appreciated.

Subject: RE: More Oil Stuff...
john and all;
heres a good question for the group;; why is it that every
lubricant that seems far superior in lube characteristics also has the
propensity to leak past any gasket/seal combo that can be devised. i
cant remem. a single case of superior lubrication without the
accompanying complaint of lots of big leaks..

For those that just have to have that LAST nitpick
for Concourse judging I MIGHT have just found that
LAST little piece of minutiae marking for 300-C's
Pictures will be available later for those who MUST
have that 1000% point accuracy for their cars.

Subject: Cruzin' the Rims car show in Billings Mt.
Hello all!
The Cruzin' the Rims car show hosted by Beartooth Mopars was held in
Billings Mt. July 12&13th. We had TWO club members in attendance and 5
300's at the show. Rusty Roe in his 57 300C, and my 64 300K, a Black 62
300 2dr. ht., a red 62 4dr.ht. and a blue 67 300 2dr.ht. The 300's won 3
of the 4 trophies in the Chrysler class! Rusty's C took top honors winning
a Cruzin' the Rims Jacket and Hard Luck trophy(not for any mechanical
problem but for his "pre-show trouble with his water lines, as no one had
any breakdowns on the way to the show!)The Red 62 took second, coming from
Idaho, and the 67 took 4th, coming from Lemon, South Dakota. Rusty drove
the C all the way from Hermiston, Oregon in the worst heat wave on record
for this area WITHOUT his A/C working! On the 12th it hit 107 an all time
record for Billings, and was 106 on Saturday.
I hope to see more club members here next year as we had a really fun
time and the comments on our cars were fantastic! Please consider coming
to Kalispell on August 23rd and 24th as we are ( the Big Sky Mopar Club,
of which Beartooth Mopars is a chapter) having our state meet w/ special
guests The Chrysler 300 Club. ( I assume it is the other club, I did not
have any advance info about this before it was a done deal) Please bring
out your Brute and I promise you will love the scenery and the as a member
of the host club that you will have a good time! AND- the heat should be
turned down by then! DON"T MISS IT!
300'ly- Joe and Kelly Pierce.

Subject: Rear universal joint 300C
Hi
My 300C has a weird looking rear universal joint. Two of the bearingcups
are "normal", but the other two have boltholes. I'm in the need of
replacing this due to heavy vibration. I have contacted several norwegian
suppliers, but they have trouble finding the right one.
Is there two different types of rear universaljoints used on the 300C?
What's the name and number of my type U-joint.
The restoration handbook has a list over U-joints. Can I use any of those?
The Napa # 314G listed on the web page, has it boltholes in the
bearingcups?
Thanks
