Subject: 1961 Clock

Good Morning,

Does anyine have a suggestion for refurb'ing a clock for the G? I am
able to make the points open when applying power, but can't seem to
figure out how to make them close. The mechanism appears to be free in
movement. Am I missing something?

I am kind of on a roll with the reassembly of the car, and am too
impatient to wait for a professional.

Thanks,

Richard Osborne

Richard,

Anything you do to that clock as a quick fix will just cause you to pull it
again and do it right later on.  Your best bet is to let a professional
clean and repair it, or better yet, convert it to a quartz movement.  I had
Instrument Services in Wisconsin do mine, and it keeps perfect time.

One thing I've learned over the years is to not rush a restoration.  You
will always end up having to do things twice (or 3 times) over.

Subject: RE: 1961 Clock

I have yet to fool around with my clocks, but if you
do send it out, make sure your supplier's modern
movement has a second hand that "ticks" instead of
"sweeps" and that it will still be able to use the EL
lighting.  These would be important considerations to
me, since the updates would not affect the original
feel of the car.

Joe, Andy and list,

Her is the company that converted my clock to quartz movement:

Instrument Services
Roscoe Ill (they moved form Wisconsin)
800-558-2674
815-623-2993

The EL lighting was retained, and the clock does make a ticking sound.  The
second hand does not move in quick jerks, i.e.; a dead stop and then move
again, but it does have a pulsation to it, not a smooth sweep.

Time for my annual message in a bottle/shot in the dark request.

Anyone know of any solution to the problem of a 1955 C300 that is missing 
the thin chrome bead molding that goes just above the front bumper ?

Sean.

Today I got back home from attending the AACA winter meet in Melbourne, FL 
where my H convertible got it's 4th Preservation Award.

Brad and Marilyn Teats were also there.  Brad got his 1st Preservation Award 
for his G hardtop and Marilyn got the 2nd Junior Award for her 68 300 
convertible.  Way to go Brad and Marilyn!

Jerry Browarski is a Forwardlooker and 300 owner and has created some car jigsaw puzzles including appropriate cars in "our" years.  Take a look.  Just the thing for rainy spring Sunday evenings.

From: Jerry  
Subject: Auto Jigsaw Puzzles


I subscribed to a website a couple of weeks ago and figured out how to create my own puzzles.  Since I'm into the
classic and custom cars, I took a number of the pictures that I have stored on my computer and created puzzles from them.  I'll more than likely add several more to the site as time goes on.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  
If you go to that page, at the top you'll see a box that says "48 piece classic" or something similar.  That can be changed to various numbers and shapes.

Subject: 300C power seat tracks

Went to adjust my power seat back (must of put on a few lbs on over the holiday!) but the darn thing was real sticky and jamming on the tracks. Wife's input was that I overloaded it! Have the front seat out now, are there any tricks, checks, adjustments, special lubricants to get this seat running smooth again. 
    
Thanks for the help
Owen

Hi all --

Couple inquiries for the group:
1) Looking for a black map clip used in the glove box of the  F/G/H?  These available? 
2) Four-way emergency flasher -- when did this feature become standard on Chryslers?

I know that the four-way flasher was standard on 68 C bodies with the
advent of Federally-mandated side marker lights.

Hi Myles,

Emergency four-way flasher kit was available for 300F or 300G as a dealer
accessory - part number 2097278 .  Neat setup in that it plugged in, in
series,  to the existing harness, at the turn signal switch plug...

Subject: RE: Q's on Map Clip & Emergency Flashers

I don't believe the G's and H's had the map clip in the glove box.  I know
my G never had one (it is a late build G).  The F is the only one, (of the
F-G-H group)  I have noticed having it. I would check with Gary Goers on the
clip.  I'm not certain on the flashers, as some states required them prior
to it being a federal mandate.
