John,
Your C, like any air conditioned '57-58 Mopar, should have a left
(driver's) side valve cover with two fitting on the face of it near the
top rear for attachment of these lines. If it doesn't, you need to find,
or create, an AC valve cover.
Shop manual is correct in that EVENTUALLY the oil returns to the oil pan.
Philippe Courant (French member) I believe has a web page regarding this
after struggling with same on his '57 Imperial with AC.

Subject: Oil pressure hose routing for a/c 1957
Hello again,
Now that the carbs are right and the car runs smooth, I have some oil
weeping from the 'return' or overflow spigot on the power piston which
operates the fresh air door.
There was no hose connected to this connection when I bought the car.
The shop manual, page 432, figure 5 at the bottom of the page says that
this drain tube goes to the engine oil pan? Figure 7 (same page) calls
this line the Auxiliary Drain Tube for Air and Oil leakage past piston.
I believe in 58 this was routed back to a valve cover connector? I doubt
there is an actual fitting on my oil pan for this, so where does it really
go?
It weeps very little, but I don't want it in the interior of my car!
Advice much appreciated,
John

Subject: (Chrysler 300) Floorpans
Here's some info about floorpans from another listserver, just passing
them
along FYI:
You may also want to check with R/Car (aka Floors-N-More)
570 Deming Road
Berlin, CT 06037 (860) 829-2076 (860) 655-6966
.... a catalog from 2002 and they have floor and trunk pans for
various mopars from 1933 - 1974. I have seen them at Carlisle, and they
make trunk pans and extensions for my '59 dodge.
Regards,.......
And another one:
Thanks for various leads on a floor pan for '58
DeSoto. I found a reproduction floor pan from flwng
supplier which may be of interest to the List:
Autobody Specialties
P.O. Box 455
Route 66

no email address available
Also more info on replacement speakers for many Mopars:
Hello vintage Supro amplifier and Classic Chrysler owners-
Just a heads up to everyone that it looks like Ted Weber will be making
the Rola repro speakers, have been discussing various magnet
structures, etc. He didn't want everyone's contact information,
instead, he'll be posting info. on the new speaker on his company
website: http://www.webervst.com/wm.html
He can use an existing ceramic magnet structure he has and the cost per
speaker will be quite reasonable; if he goes for a custom structure and
alnico, cost will be higher. Be patient, and check his site every few
weeks.
I understand the speakers will greatly improve the "tunes" in your ride.
Check them out, but least file these #'s for future use, Ray Jones

Subject: 1962 Vacuum Routing?
So.I replace all of the vacuum hoses on the 1962 300 recently, along
with a replacement push button switch. I replaced each hose, one at a
time so I would not screw anything up.
Well.now that I've been able to fire the new 413 and create vacuum for
the A/C, Defrost, Heater system, something is screwed up! The rocking
heater doors move UP when I push Heat and move DOWN when I push one of
the two A/C buttons.
The push button switch is new old stock, though the back (with the
plastic nipples) did seem a little different from my original one.
Anyone have a vacuum hose diagram, (or know where each hose is supposed
to end up) as there is not one in the shop manual?
Thanks,
Matt Allyn
