I've seen both pop rivets and very small screws used to retain cat
whiskers or belt line w/strips.

stainless steel wire!

Hi all,
I'm replacing the cat whiskers on all of the doors and wondered what
you
used to reattach the whiskers as the new isn't like the original so
the
original type of fastener won't work.

Subject: Caution eBay Chrysler wire wheel seller
There is a seller on eBay currently offering Chrysler repro wire wheels. Current auction is # 2463520614. He makes several claims in the ads about quality. I sent him some questions and his answers were rude to the point that he "dissed" all Chrysler owners as "always asking questions and causing trouble" and was quite rude. These were simple questions that needed to be asked in a "caveat emptor" marketplace. Additionally he could not give me supportive answers to his claims. One of the things I didn't care for was that he wants the money up front and then he will have the wheels made and shipped several weeks later.
His email address is DocSab@xxxxxxxxxxxx and his eBay seller name is " cadillacworld ".
I did not do any business with him, nor would I based on my correspondence with him. And he had the nerve to say that if I responded one more time he would turn ME into eBay. I thought quite the reverse would be more appropriate.
So this is a large note of caution to anyone in the wire wheel market concerning this outfit.
If anyone has done business with this seller and had good dealings, please post to the list or at least to me privately for balance. wgraefen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: Heat Riser valve on a 1961 300G
Anyone know which way the heat riser valve is open? I have to remove mine
since it is rattling and leaking. I will permanently seal it in the open position
(I live in Florida) but I am not sure which way. Would it be fully counter
clockwise?

Subject: Crankcase venilation on C-300 and 300 B ???
Ok, I have recieved several replies saying that a spacer plate
between the carb and intake manifold was used to add a PCV setup
to some 50's cars.
BIG QUESTION!! I seem to recall very minimal space under the hood
of my 57 NewYorker AND my 300 between the top of the aircleaner and
the hood. IF this was/is the case, wouldnt this spacer have used up
what little remaining gap was left here?
I know I poked the hood of the NY with the stud on the carb when I had
a bad motor mount, and that elephant moved more with the hood up
then when down.

PCV systems add on or OE are a controlled manifold vacuum leak. This is
generally not a problem but the parallel linkage C300 dual carb setup could
be. Progressive linkage dual carburetor arrangements or engines with single
carburetors would be much easier to retrofit closed crankcase systems. Hook
a PCV valve into one carburetor of a C300 and there will be a carburetion
imbalance that might or might not be fixable with tuning the carbs and
linkages. The carburetor balance situation is probably why CA put 300's on
the no retrofit list in the '60's.

Subject: G Positive battery Cable
Good Evening,
Does anyone have a recommended source for the Shrink Tubing and Cloth
type insulation that goes on the positive battery cable in between the
starter relay and the starter? I can't seem to find any catalogs right
now. My original isn't too bad, but someone has spliced a universal
battery terminal to it.
I have a new repro cable from the other club. I need to integrate the
small wire for the starter solenoid now.
Thanks,
Richard Osborne

Hello to all 300'ly!
The recent edition of the NEWS-FLITE referred to the 300 Hurst as
a 300 H2. Does this mean that the new 300C perhaps should be referred to
as a 300C2? ROB KERN

Subject: judging
Hi Club;
Forgive me for being a fool . Would someone in the club , preferably judges answer these questions.
(1) what does a concourse car , represent . how is it judged . what are the marks for each section. what forms the deductions for a 300 letter car.
(2) What constitutes a peoples choice award . what are the judging parameters . again what are the deductions .
(3) are there classes at the meets for people such as myself, who drive our cars as much as possible . Last year seven thousand miles after June 24th. till October 30th ( winter in Canada )
(A) I make as good an effort as possible at trying to make the car original. But when it comes for example to the clock. I convert it to Quartz to ensure that it will run into the next century . I have power coated my rims in the interest of making sure that they will never rust and will be around for the next hundred years even if it is driven. I have added new under coating on the under side to ensure that rust never ever gets on the floor pans . similarly on the interior . I have changed the bolts that have shown obvious rust wear to stainless steel again to ensure that they never are the cause of rust . I have power coated the supports for the bumper again to make sure they never will rust again. does all of this make my car a failure in the eyes of judges . I have the correct interior, motor , paint colors for air cleaners etc. I have tried as best as possible to build a car that will last well into the future , I believe in my heart it is far better then when it originally rolled off the assembly line. I wonder aloud and I'm sure as do many people who belong to this list and are afraid to ask.
Thank you judges...
Ben Meisner

To all you 300 enthusiast's I don't know about you but lets try. When
someone needs help with their cars this is a good way to get them on the right path.
If you have an answer for their problem answer THEM not the whole world. Is
really necessary to have 20 answers of batwing air cleaners or 30 answers on
gas mileage etc. etc.etc. give me a break and others who use their computers for
business. please concentrate your answers to the person that has the problem
not the group THANK YOU Lenny NY Please do not answer this except John
Hertog Thanks again, over a 30 year member

To all listserver members:
The Chrysler 300 Club International's listserver is governed by an existing set of simple rules. These rules are clearly posted at: http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/rules.htm ; PLEASE - take the time to read this very short Web page !
The ECC welcomes any direct feedback from members, and monitors the listserver year-long. The current policy was set according to members wishes, and for the best interest of the Club. There are currently 443 listserver members all over the world. A very diverse group - 443 individuals with different opinions of what the listserver should and should not be. These opinions were all taken into account when the rules and parameters were adopted. Much work went into this. Now - the rules stand as clearly written.
http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/rules.htm . It should take no more than one minute to read.
Please do NOT post replies to the listserver. Any and all replies to:
