Subject: Part Number Confusion
Hi Group-
Now, I might not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but I thought I
knew how to read a parts book. Now I'm not so sure.
I have a number of what are obviously 1960 Chrysler tail light
assemblies, but they have varying numbers on them, so I consulted my
friendly parts
book to see which were which. The picture in part 23 tells me that the
housings are "serviced" in 8-55-7, so I go to 8-55-7 and find none of the
numbers
appearing on the housings.
The numbers on the housings I have are as follows:
#1960908, 1960909 and 1960798. Somewhere I think I have a 1960799
as
well. I cannot find any of these numbers on the parts book - can someone
help
me out here? I know the even numbers are right side, but why aren't the
other numbers there? All my numbers start with 1961. Could I have a very
late
revision which is showing the superceded numbers?
In any event, if someone can identify these for me, I would
appreciate
it very much.
Thanks,
Pete Fitch

Pete,
You are looking at casting numbers, not part numbers. Different thing.

Hi Pete:
The numbers inside the housing are not always part numbers -- they are
casting numbers and do not always match the assigned part number. This
happens all
the time. Sometimes you can go up or down by one the last number -- that
may
well be the part number. Don't go by odd or even either -- I've seen too
many
errors on that too.
Sincerely,
Sherwood Kahlenberg

Hi Pete and All:
The "cast in" part number is the number of the casting only. Adding the
attachment studs makes it a different part number-----an assembly. I have
to
admit I am a bit puzzled by the name they applied to them though----Lamp,
Quarter
panel tail, stop, and turn signal. I would think "housing" would have
been
more appropriate. Since the 1960 908, 909 are kind of near the end of
that
"batch" of part numbers, it is possible there were no more 1960 ***
numbers left
when the time came to assign a number to the housing assembly. Only seeing
the engineering drawings could answer your question absolutely, however.
Does
this help? Hope so. 300ly, Gil C.

Greetings Group and Pete-
My experience with 99% of Chrysler parts has been numbers cast into a
part RARELY are the same as the factory part number, many times they are
very close but not the same. The numbers cast in generally are just a
casting number (such as on cylinder heads, intake and exhaust manifolds),
I
have never seen any explanation as to why they are not the same numbers.

nickels worth......

Subject: Emblem Adhesive WARNING !!!
"DO NOT", I repeat, "DO NOT" use "3M Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive" to
attach your reproduction grille medallion. I did use it and all I could do
was watch as it slowly attacked the paint and now my $50.00 emblem looks
absolutely terrible.
My car looked naked without the emblem and now it does not look much
better
with that terrible looking emblem. Everything was going great until I
bonded
the emblem. I took out my grille and detailed the radiator support.
Everything was painted RED. Wires, wiring harness and the parking and
headlight connectors. I made a backing plate that bolts onto the grille
and
the emblem bonds to the plate. At least the emblem will be easy to remove.
Call me STUPID because in November there was discussion about attaching
these emblems. One member said "I have never used this stuff, but I have
heard that most new vehicles use this type of adhesive for attaching
emblems
and some trim parts. It is called "3M PLASTIC & EMBLEM ADHESIVE", Part
Number is #08061. I am going to make a backing plate that bolts into the
grille center and probably use the 3M plastic emblem adhesive."
Others said that they have used RTV silicone. The Tech Department has a
great article on the emblem installation using RTV silicone.
I chose to use the 3M adhesive and learned the hard and expensive way.
PLEASE learn by my mistake.
Perhaps an installation instruction sheet could be sent with each
medallion
ordered. On this sheet could be a list of the acceptable adhesives. There
should also be a warning. "DO NOT use "3M Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive".
It will positively attack the paint and ruin your new emblem."
Happy 300ing
