[Chrysler300] 1965 300L questions

["Darrin Bailey" <Darrin.Bailey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two questions for any L owners or those familiar with 65
Chryslers:

 

1)       Easy one.  For the L running light, I know a 7 Watt bulb is
recommended due to heat, but do we have a bulb size on file.  No
reference is made in the literature.  It appears to be a single
post-small.  Do not want to buy 6 to find the right darn size.  

 

2)       Harder one.  The L had a serious drip from the torque converter
today.  It appears the converter I have differs from the picture in the
factory service manual that indicates a drain lug in the "front shield."
Mine has no drain plug, just a weep hole-center lower edge and four
small blots along the lower edge.  I tightened the bolts slightly and
less drip, but why the serious leak?  The car had not been started for
two weeks prior.  I also have not started the car, to fully test the
leakage now after a little tightening.  Is their a real seal behind this
aluminum plate or just screws washers?  Are real seals available from
NAPA?  Should I need to service both pan gasket/filter at the same time?
Dip stick was full and pink.  

 

Thanks,

 

Darrin Bailey
