Subject: 300 G Wiring - Mirrormatic
Hi Myles,
The Mirrormatic lead wire is supposed to be hooked up to the "orange" wire
that feeds power to the heater control lighting ( that little bulb at the
top of the heater control unit) . This energizes the Mirrormatic when
either
parking lights or headlights are turned on.
The answer to the other wiring question should be found in the Service
Manual schematic. If anyone else has some relevant feedback, please pitch
in.
John

Subject: plastic oil lines
Someone on here asked about the clear plastic oil line material.
Was in the local parts house with #1 son tonite and lo there in
the hose bins was 3 different sizes of this stuff, ALL rated to
150 pound pressure.
Looks like it is still being made.

Hello, everyone
I lived in NJ during those years and only remember New Yorkers on the
Turnpike and Garden State Parkway.
I recall this topic coming up once before, some two or three years ago,
and
someone put a photo up of '59 NYer.

Subject: Re: 300C/D Patrol Cars
All,
I'm directing your attention to the December, 200 issue of MOPAR Action
magazine. Therein is a very interesting article about a 61 Chrysler New
Yorker that wound up on the other side of the law hauling moonshine
whiskey
throughout the North Carolina-Virginia area. It is a four door sedan but
packs a ram induction 413 that has been reworked to make in excess of
500hp,
according to the article. The suspension was also reworked to allow 1000lb
loads of moonshine to be transported over the winding, twisting two lane
roads in that area at speeds of well over 100mph and outrun the
"revenoors."
One of the people involved with setting the car up was none other than
Junior Johnson (no relation).
The car has been restored by the owner who used it for hauling shine in
the
early 60's. It is not clear in the article if the ram induction engine was
original from Chrysler or the engine was built to spec after delivery by
the
moonshiners. A close view of the engine compartment showas the rams to be
of
the short ram variety that came on the 400hp dealer installed option.
Perhaps the 300 stuff was available in "police packages" or other non-300
applications during the late 50's-early 60's era and some of these got
into
the hands of the general public. This article is "must" reading for all
ram
induction enthusiasts. Larry Johnson

Subject: Letter Cars as Patrol vehicles???
I have been reading all the speculation and what not about some agencies
using Lettered 300's for patrol cars. As a law enforcement officer and a
300 fanatic, plus being a history buff on law enforcement and cars I
thought I would throw my 2 cents worth out to all. In the 50's and 60's
many small agencies had their officers use their own vehicles - no budget
money to buy cars- they paid you mileage and weren't very generous at
that! The Sheriff's Office I work for this was the case until 1971 or 72,
when the county bought 4 ex-CHP cruisers. Prior to that one of the
deputies drove a 69 HEMI Road Runner and had a great time of it- None of
these personal vehicles had markings, just grille lights, or plug in roof
"cherries" that you threw on the roof and went after it! So I suppose that
it is possible that someone used a letter car for patrol use, but due to
the cost of our cars at that time and the wages I doubt that anyone could
have afforded that.
Most agencies that did buy the vehicles would buy a "police package" at
a bid price. Most of Chrysler's patrol packages were "muscle cars" in
"taxi cab" clothing- 4 door sedans, a few 2 door sedans and even a few
wagons. A D-500 dodge package was fairly common as a patrol car, "Chrysler
Enforcer" packages could be had w/ 413 dual 4's etc. AND as we all know-
Chrysler built a few cars all the time that weren't available as such- IF
you knew the right person and the $'s were there it could be built. So the
long and short is -It is possible that there were lettered patrol cars,
but highly unlikely. Taxpayers would have screamed bloody murder if a
agency spent that much on one car when two for the same money could have
been purchased!-And most county commissioners etc. still are pretty tight
w/ your/our tax $'s. I don't think ours would go for 300 M's when the
Intrepid patrol package is $18,400...........
