Subject: Driveline installation - answer
Hi Rich,
The way you are planning to do it is the best way to go, as far as I am
concerned.
The great advantage of installing engine and trans in subframe is that you
can actually START and RUN the engine / trans when they are installed. I
use an old radiator support to hang the radiator, and then connect it up
to the engine and trans cooler lines, connect up a manual oil pressure
gauge, and fire it up and run it ( off a gas can..) . I like to run it
that
way for at least an hour, breaking it in if it is a fresh rebuild.
Odds are SOMETHING will leak - a valve cover gasket ( I also suggest
starting and breaking in the engine with a single-four barrel manifold and
carb if you have one..) , a freezeout plug, a seal, a gasket... then, of
course, it is SO much easier to repair than when the whole mess is
installed
in the car !
Once you have run the engine / trans combo for a good long time, and you
have made SURE nothing leaks, then you can install the rams and get it
running with the rams on.
Then, and only then should you roll the subframe under the car and
reattach
it.
I am not sure what you mean by K-frame cars versus subframe cars - to me
they are one and the same ?
Have fun !
John

Subject: 300-G engine problem
Hi everyone.
I found the reason why my engine was misfiring one spark plug was
fouled
a piece of carbon was wedged in the spark plug tip they were champion
plugs
so i replaced them with bosch platinum type no it has the pwer it did when
i
first started out but some times now when i hit 60 to 70 m.p.h. it starts
acting a little sluggish and lagging then picks up again so i think the
plug
wires are at fault to like a club member told me and my points are set at
017.maybe thats to close i should widen the gap to 19 or 20 but it doesnt
misfire anymore well thank you all so much for the help tom.

Subject: Ram K Question
Hi, Ram K owners,
The carb linkage on my ram K has some engine-color paint on it. Should
the
linkage be painted engine color? If not, what?
Thanks,
Goerge Clineman

Subject: 300L Armrests
The armrest bases on my 300L are painted according to the interior color.
The comment was made to me that, while the pads should be colored, the
bases should have a chrome type finish and that a previous owner had
painted the bases. I have never seen the interior of another 300L so I
don't know if the guy is right. What is the answer?
Thanks,
Steve Galezowski

If it starts to run out of steam at 60-70 mph, you might consider checking
for adequate fuel delivery. Maybe a dirty fuel filter or a restriction
somewhere, impeding the fuel flow. Get yourself a dwell meter and set the
points to 32° (each,for dual points), feeler guages are only slightly
better than nothing for setting points.
my .02 worth,
Mike

Subject: 57 - 59 heater box inquiry
Howdy.
I'm hunting a heaterbox delete firewall filler plate for my 57 coupe. I
wondered if anybody's seen one of these plates, has one, or even knows if
the box shape is the same from 57-59? or just 57 & 58? I've been unable
to even find a picture of the piece.
Many thanks. mike v
Ps. Spent the last 48 hours of daylight sandblasting the C convert. in
the hot GA sun. Have created a lovely white sand beach in my driveway next
to the baby pool...free admission and lodging if you're looking for a
bargain vacation spot! (please bring broom.)

Subject: Brake Drums
Good Afternoon,
Non 300 issue, I know. I need brake drums for a '57 Imperial preferably
rear right now. They need to be in good enough condition to be turned.
These are for a daily driven car that is being driven by someone who
knows NOTHING about cars.
Please let me know.
Best regards,
Richard Osborne
Columbus, OH
