Subject: 300B
Being new to this kind of work to restore my 300B, I probably have several
dumb questions.
We have a lead for a frame from a '56 New Yorker to get what we need to
replace the rear end of the frame of my 300B. Also have the club
information about springs. Thanks for the leads on them.
Is there a special place to get body mounting bolts or other related
hardware that we may need? How about shocks, front and rear?
Trying to start with the rear suspension and frame since that seems the
worst. Is there anything else we should be looking at or thinking about
replacing while we're working in this area?

Subject: 300 Hurst exhaust question
Hi to all,
Anyone have any recommendation as to where to procure a correct 1970 300
Hurst exhaust system? I need it all - pipes, mufflers, exhaust tips. I'd
especially like any recommendations with regards to the mufflers and
exhaust
tips. Working on a nice low mileage car and would like to keep it correct.
John

Hi Dave--
This is an excellent question, and addresses the most common
mistake I have seen on 300F's. There is even a certain expensively
restored
300F convertible belonging to a well-known TV star that has it wrong!
If you open the hood of a 300F and see both air cleaner
stickers
facing forward (let's call this the "six-o'clock position, looking from
above), while appearing logical, this is DEAD WRONG. Since the F's two air
cleaners are identical, but are mounted asymetrically (being rotated
differently), the only way to get both stickers to face forward is to
place
each sticker on a different place on each air cleaner, and then not mix up
the left one and the right one. This is NOT how Chrysler did it.
Instead, as is more logical for production operations, ALL
stickers were placed on all air cleaners in the same location, BEFORE the
air
cleaners were placed on the engine. As a result, left and right air
cleaners
are EXACTLY the same, and more importantly, when placed on the engine, one
side (the driver's side) appears to face nearly BACKWARDS! Nearly all
restorers get this wrong.
When viewed from the front, the passenger-side sticker should
be
in the seven or seven-thirty position (if six o'clock is exactly to the
front
of the car), and the driver's side sticker should be about ten or eleven
o'clock (which seems backwards). As a result, swapping air cleaners from
side
to side will make no difference; the stickers will remain in the same
relative position! Of course, make sure you have oriented the air cleaner
"dents" properly (passenger side "dent" at about ten o'clock to clear
small
vacuum pot, etc.) first.
Concours judges (and entrants) please take note.
300F'ly,
Roger Karlson

Can someone send the link for the recently discussed seatbelt company?
Deleted it by mistake.
Thanks!

Subject: Waterpumps for 300C
Overheating problems. I remember that George Berg and I did a comparison
of water pumps once. Problem is, I can't find the notes and pictures. My
spare re-built pump has 10 blades on the pump impellor. Is this an
original??? For some reason, I remember a discussion about pumps, the
upshot was the C needed the water to slow down, and a LOWER number of
blades were on 300 C from stock 392.
Tuesday we start re-assembling my engine (took a few weeks to get new
piston rings). I'll try finding my pics and notes, but if anybody knows
what impellor should be in 300C, please post!!

Hi all:
Don't mean to muddy the waters, but when I took my F off of blocks,
October
of 1995, it had been standing on for 28 years, there were the remains of
air
cleaner stickers directly to the front of each air cleaner. (Now I wish I
had taken a picture.) Thought about trying to save them but they were too
far gone. According to the son of the original owner, the engine
compartment
had never been touched as far as restoration is concerned, just routine
maintenance. To his father, it was a special car for driving but it was
just
that, another vehicle to drive, and the vehicle was parked for some
unknown
reason after 7 years of usage with the odometer reading 108,000 miles.
There is a possibility that the stickers were specially placed on the air
cleaners when the original owner picked the car up at the factory. He had
a
personal meeting with Bert Beauwkamp (spelling uncertain), resident
engineer,
when he picked it up. It is one of the last F's produced, #8403159095.
Just my two cents worth.

Subject: biggest tire?
Hey everyone..
I was wondering what was the largest 15inch tire size you've been able
to
squeeze on stock or aftermarket rims , front and rear for a Hurst
body-style
Chrysler ( 1969-1971 ) Someone had suggested to me that a 255-60-15 or a
255-70-15 might fit... seems awful large to me.
Thanks
Mike Laiserin
