Seeing that you are already there, what is the battery polarity for a '56?
I
would imagine it is negative earth like other 12v '56 cars.

For '60 and '61, would appear, oil pressure gauge is analog gauges voltage
source(would be verifiable with analog votmeter and pulsating voltage at
oil
pressure 'D' terminal). I would have said that fuel gauge has regulator in
it but oil gauge in our diagrams shows 'I" wire only (feed from fuse
block)
to oil gauge and then jumpers to fuel and temp gauges from 'D' terminal on
oil gauge. This is for '60 and '61.
There was a system of gauges made by Auto Lite that apparently did use
battery voltage without a constant voltage regulator. Is this the system
in
the '56 Chryslers with the advent of constant voltage gauges in 1957 and
after?

All right, I'll throw a couple in: A red G convertible
appears briefly in "Goodfellas" parked in front of a
building, and a white G coupe appears in a parking lot
scene in "Flamingo Kid" (with Matt Dillon c. 1985...)

Subject: Hi and FYI
Hi to all,
I am glad to see so many remember Crime Story and other shows and
movies that have MoPars in them. Makes you wonder if a Chrysler product
was
"Thee" car to own back then, and even now.
I have been doing some work on my 64 300-K convert, trying to get
it
ready for another year of crusie nights and shows.
Here is some parts info some may find useful. I just finished
rebuilding my steering box and power steering pump. I got the rebuild
kits
at the local NAPA.
The p/s pump seal kit # is 7-106. The p/s box kit is 1-117. The
box
kit is a major seal kit and will refit from 1961 to 1968 p/s steering
boxes.
Also, I tuned-up my 727B torqueflite. The NAPA # is 1-9715. This
will get you cork gaskets (you get one for the 707 and 904), but most
important, you get the filter with the two hole pick-up for the 1964 and
below. Single hole pick-up filter should not be used.
That's all for now,
Paul (crash)
300-K convert

How about commercials?
Here in Massachusetts, we have a company called Veryfine, which makes
juices. They had a G convert at a gas station in one of their better
commercials.

Hi All
Can someone please tell me if the correct color of the 1955 C300 331 Hemi
valve cover, is it the same as the Batwing air cleaner?

Club;
The 1959 manual , refers to the electrical system as a 12 volt, similar to
the 1956 equipment is used in all models . I confess the manual comes from
Chrysler Canada , but it is written in English , which in itself must be
measured as a plus.

Hey gang:
My tachometer cable has decided to "go forth and multiply." It's now in 2
pieces. I can't get into the back of the tach to get the cable out
without
removing part of the carpet and I only want to do that 1 time. I'm
probably
going to have to have a cable made up since none exist in unobtainium land
so
does anyone know the exact length the cable should be?

Subject: C300 Gauges part 2.1
Thank you all for your help! I think who ever did the rewire on my car
did
not have all the "friends in the business" that I have. My car does now
have one of those after market harnesses, but all the wires are black, and
the job was poorly done. The darn fuse box is mounted upside-down, making
it even harder to locate stuff. And it looks like they did something
weird
to get 5 volts to the gauges, cuzz the map light that is somehow tied in
is
very dim. I will do more research on the Echlin part IR-2. Correctly
mounting and installing the harness does not look that difficult. Being
un-employed right now gives me lots of time. Thanks again.
Frank

Auto
Show? It looks great.

Hi Mike,
You should first make sure it's not the tach freezing that caused the
cable to break. I've had a couple go that way.
300ly,
Don

Subject: re.ignition conversion
installing the electronic ignition on a pre 1970 vehicle should include
a change to the electronic alternator and voltage regulator. If I
remember correctly the voltage spikes from the old points regulators
would cause a problem with the ignition control unit after time.
