Subject: Results of Oil Pump removal
I thought the list would like to know.....
I installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I decided to go ahead and
remove the pan and inspect the pump pickup and screen.
Before draining the oil, the pressure was 45# at cold start up and after
hot, especially at idle, dropped to 20#, but would return to approx 30# at
highway speeds. (I guess it really wasn't as low as the factory dashboard
gauge had indicated).
Upon inspecting the oil pickup after dropping the pan, I found it to be
clogged with particles resembling thin pieces of "caulking" and very small
strips of what looked like felt gasket material.
After cleaning all the gook off, I flushed the system with 10w oil, replaced
the pan and refilled the sump with SAE 30 HD Quaker State and a new Napa
Silver filter.
At start up the oil pressure was 50#. After well warmed up, the pressure
dropped to 30# to 35# at low speed and at idle. At highway speeds, pressure
remained at 50#.
I am satisfied with the results and relieved that I don't have a major
rebuild staring me in the face at this time. I want to thank ALL who
offered hints, tips, suggestions and some invaluable information that I
wasn't remotely aware of. I couldn't have done it without y'all.

Subject: Re: 300C on Front Page
Since we, too, are currently restoring a 300C, I'd be interested in understanding why you
qualified the featured car as a fine "restoration". Are there authenticity issues other
than the paint color? Or an issue of over-restoration?
Thanks for any help,

Subject: Dash Pad from Just Dashes
Good Afternoon,
I just received my repo 1961 dash pad from Just Dashes. I have 2
issues. It is missing the front metal twist tabs and the embossed detail
is very weak in my opinion.
I called them and was told I didn't need the metal tabs to hold the
dash in place. I could use Liquid Nails and put weight on it.
Has anyone out there done this?
Next, the verticle pattern that runs from left to right is very weak. I
have looked at the 2 original pads that I have and they show much more
detail. The one I received looks like the details would go away if it
sits in the sun too long. I remember looking at several of the cars in
the club that have had a replacement pad from Just dashes and I thought
they had looked great. I guess I'll have to check them out closer this
week.
When I asked Just Dashes about the lack of detail, they said they
couldn't do it as well as the factory could and I should be happy with
it. I guess I fealt as though $644 ought to buy something closer to what
came on the car.
What have your experiences been?
Best regards,
Richard Osborne

Received an email from someone called "Mr300K". It has an attachment and it's not a regular club message. I haven't opened it but I'm wondering if anyone out there knows who Mr300K is and if the email is safe.

Richard:
I was very pleased with the F dash I rec'd from these folks a few years ago.
Of course the F doesn't have the ribbing that the G has and it was $475 at
the time, not $644.

Keith

Subject: Suspicious email
Just want to thank all the folks who responded to my query regarding an email I received from Mr300K. A few of you were able to identify him so I sent him a reply to find out if he knows anything about it. If I hear from him I'll let the club know. Oh yeah.... thanks to all of you who responded to my query about the flywheel problem. All I need now is to find time to get it fixed. All of a sudden my schedule turned to garbage!

Subject: low hot oil pressure
Hi Karl
I've found that often low hot oil pressure is caused from a plugged pickup screen.Usually full of valve seals or timing gear parts. Old hard seals will breakup if engine sees high rpm near valve float. We all know 300's never see high rpms......right?

> Oil companies provide data on their oils most often

> Viscosity is a measure of the "flowability" of an oil.
> More specifically, it is the property of an oil to
> develop and maintain a certain amount of shearing
> stress dependent on flow, and then to offer continued
> resistance to flow. Thicker oils generally have a
> higher viscosity, and thinner oils a lower viscosity.
> This is the most important property for an engine. An
> oil with too low a viscosity can shear and loose film
> strength at high temperatures. An oil with too high a
> viscosity may not pump to the proper parts at low
> temperatures and the film may tear at high rpm.
>
> The weights given on oils are arbitrary numbers
> assigned by the S.A.E. (Society of Automotive
> Engineers). These numbers correspond to "real"
> viscosity, as measured by several accepted techniques.
> These measurements are taken at specific temperatures.
> Oils that fall into a certain range are designated 5,
> 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 by the S.A.E. The W means the oil
> meets specifications for viscosity at 0 F and is
> therefore suitable for Winter use.

> Multi viscosity oils work like this: Polymers are
> added to a light base (5W, 10W, 20W), which prevent
> the oil from thinning as much as it warms up. At cold
> temperatures the polymers are coiled up and allow the
> oil to flow as their low numbers indicate. As the oil
> warms up the polymers begin to unwind into long chains
> that prevent the oil from thinning as much as it
> normally would. The result is that at 100 degrees C

> Hello Everyone, my name Is Larry Meixner, a new club member and I will be attending the meet in Rhode Island arriving on Friday evening. I won't have my 300G since it's still a basket case- but like they say- Moses was once a basket case too! I hope to meet with someone that evening so I have a "guide" to what's going on. I couldn't get a room at the same hotel as the club, so I'm staying a few miles away. If anyone has a phone number that I can call when I get there, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks and hope to meet Ya'll then, Larry Meixner gr8hirt@xxxxxxxxx

Subject: Wiring and Vacuum Diagrams
Good news about my 4-year restoration of a wrecked, partially dismantled Hurst: it moves! And almost everything is right. (Now comes the paint and interior......). Since I have some electrical glitches and "mystery wires," I belately need to confirm some of my wiring decisions. Some of my vacuum hose routing has been equally creative. Does anyone have a copy of either the wiring or vacuum diagramming? I can speak from experience that no Chrysler dealerships within 120 miles or me have retained their manuals. If fax is more convenient than scanning emailing, my fax is 417 395-4776.
