Subject: Re: '65 engine detail.
I purchased a new 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 with the 426 Street Wedge engine.
Here is how it was detailed:
The color was Turquoise green, not High performance orange or red like the
ram cars. I think this is what yours should be also.
The throttle bracket that bolts to the rear intake manifold bolts was also
Turquoise including the manifold bolt heads. The clamp on the inside of
the
bracket that secures the throttle cable was NOT painted nor was the cable
end or the clamp bolt.
My exhaust manifolds had some overspray on them in the areas where the
manifolds joined the heads. It extended, in some cases, to cover portions
of
the studs and nuts that retained the manifolds to the heads.
The coil bracket was unpainted.
Sending units were unpainted.
Mine had chrome rocker arm covers so they were, of course, unpainted but a
standard engine had Tourquoise covers with paint on the exposed portions
of
the gaskets in a hit or miss fasion. I think a mask of some sort was used
on
the chrome covers because mine had some paint on the original gaskets and
a
little overspray on the rim of the covers.
The alternator support brackets, adjusting strap, and spacers were painted
a
medium gloss black. Bolt heads were unpainted.
The spouts for the heater hoses were galvaqnized and unpainted.
The water pump was painted as part of the engine and had some overspray on
the shaft and seal. The clutch fan had no signs of overspray anywhere.
The carburetor pad had some overspray under the carb gasket.
Plug wires had no signs of overspray.
Thats the best of my recollection. Hope it helps. It should be pretty
close
to your Chrysler.
regards,
Larry Johnson

Subject: ammeter guage F
getting ready to do a road trip & my ammeter on my F is either acting up
or the system isn't charging right. Just starts registering discharge
while driving. Tapping the voltage regulator makes no difference. I have
had this problem intermittently since replacing the voltage regulator &
rebuilding the Generator last year. Any ideas? Anyone see any problems
with installing an after market under dash ammeter just to be sure?
Thanks.
Lindsey Fuller

Subject: Torsion Bar Help
Installing the torsion bars and new front end components on the '62 300
tomorrow.
I've read the manual just now & wish I had someone close by to come show
me what to do in the morning!
Anyway.any advice on the install of the torsion bar?
I have new balloon seals from Gary Goers, though am not 100% sure where
they go. Do they live at the rear of the bar, in front of the anchor?
Or do they live at the front of the bar, where it enters the control
arm?
How much grease do I pack into the front where the bar enters the
control arm?
How much grease do I pack into the rear of the bar where the lock ring
and plastic seal go?
Does grease go into the torsion bar in front of the anchor?
And.how will I be sure that I'm getting the angle correct at the back
end of the torsion bar, so that the front end can be leveled properly?
Thanks!
Matt Allyn

Subject: Ball Joint Seals
1962 300 ball joint seals.
Do I just place them over the ball joints that are now screwed into
their control arms?
The manual states that the seals must be installed with some type of
Chrysler tool.
Thanks,
Matt Allyn
