Hay Mike, did you see where someone paid a little over $140.oo
for a used set of letters on e-bay?? (only salvation was that they
included the clips)

Subject: '57 Speedo
At $500 opening bid, and Frank Mitchell as seller, you aren't thinking
about bidding, are you??
Honestly, I have no idea whether the production line OR service parts
"tenths" reading was a black or red numeral.
What say ye, 300 club?

Subject: about '57 speedo
I've seen a '57 300C speedo on eBay
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1825900061)
and the seller says : (..) This is an assembly line unit, as if
it were service replacement the "TENTHS" numbers would have to be
red (..)
Is it true ? And same property on other speedo ? On my Imperial
the (non working..) speedo has red "tenths".

Subject: Re: '57 Speedo
Hi Group,
The replacement speedometers that came from Chrysler Parts during the
late sixties and into the '80's had the tenths digits in RED. This was a
way of knowing a speedometer had been changed should someone have
forgotten to place the decal in the door jamb that stated the mileage
when the speedometer was changed. (New speedometers read zero mileage).
I do not know when this proceedure began. It well may have gone back to
the '50's. Again, it was a way of telling if the speedometer and mileage
had been changed.
Best regards,
Richard Osborne

Subject: 300 C Carb cleaner.
I bought a 300C basket case that the restoration went south after the
original owner was taken to the cleaners by a body shop that filed chapter
7 after big money changed hands.
The front carb had water in at some point. I could not get it cleaned so
I painted it after putting a rebuild kit in both carbs. The water had
taken its toll the front carb leaked!
I was forturnate enough to meet Gary Nelson at gwn@delta industries.com
via e-mail. I sent him both carbs which he walnut shell blasted and
updated the carbs according to Chrysler service notice. These carb are
better than new.
They are correct in color match base is natural cast iron, the air horn
upper portion is natural aluminum and the main body is zinc(per Wayne
Graefen 1957 Chrysler 300C Handbook). This is a case without the proper
tools it was better to get Gary to fix it!

I know this has limited interest on the list but has anyone found a source
for reliable 6 volt batteries to fit the 55 300? I am tired of replacing
my Powertron Brand with another of the same. The quality is poor.

Subject: '63 300 Conv. Trunk Lid Hinge Torsion Bar End
Hi,
I need the plastic piece that slides over the torsion
bar inside the trunk and provides resistance to
keep the trunk lid open.
I believe the correct part is 2244633 and is called
a "roller". It was a new part for '63 convertibles,
I believe.
If anyone knows how to get one or two, please let
me know.
Thanks-
Mark Lindahl
'63 300 Conv.

I remember reading a while back that the Mack Truck
folks make a 6v battery that has a serious amount of
cranking amperage. May be worth looking into...

Subject: C300 Front Suspension
Seems like C300 day. I could use some input from any one who has replaced
the front suspension components. Specifically, do I need to take it to a
shop to rplace the A-arm pivot shafts/bushings and the knig pins or can I
do it myself?? I have the usual tools but no special tools and no press.
Any inputs would be appreciated.
