Subject: Don Leask
Hi, all out there.
I am trying to find out more about the history of my 300G, serial number
8413100779.
I have got some information from Gil Cunningham, about the microfilm for
the car.
It was sold new from a dealer called Ogner Chrysler/Plymouth in Culver
City, California.
Sometime around 1970 and to 1996, a man called Don Leask (Donald William)
was the owner.
I think he have owned several 300G`s, but i`m not sure.
So one of my big questions are: Is there anyone out there who knows Don
Leask, or knows if
he is still alive? I am sure he knows most of the story.
If there are others who knows anything about my Alaskan White Brute, small
things or big storys,I would
be thankful to hear from you.My Emailadress: ak.dronen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
By the way. In 1966 Dodge built about 5500 Chargers with the 361 engine
(two barrel only),and i have one of them.
Thanks
Anton Drønen
5650 TYSSE
NORWAY.

Subject: Re: 300 G Wiring Spagatti Mystery
Hi Myles,
The black power wire to the heater / AC sw. should be hooked to the
fuse block as designated as you mentioned. The cigar lighter fuse block
terminal is for the dash ash tray lighter only. Of course, this is N/A for
console letter cars so this terminal should be left blank.
The two console lighters are powered by a 14 ga light green wire that
is enclosed in the console elec. window taped harness. Incidentally, the
14 ga white wire enclosed is to ground the lighters so they don't burn /
arc at the lighter bezel and alum. console insert interface. The light
green power wire is protected by an in-line fuse near the kick panel
circuit breaker buss.
The 14 ga light green wire near the fuse block is to power the rear
defogger (and possibly other accessories). It terminates as a "plug" near
the instrument dome. It should be hooked to the rear defogger designated
fuse block terminal.
You are correct. Console and defogger / accessory wires are not
covered clearly in the manuals.
Greg.

not the designated ac/heater fuse). Moreover. a Green wire from the
blower switch IS connected to the ac/heater fuse. So I have 2 wires from
the ac/heater circuits connected to the fuse block. Amazingly the units
seem to work ok (however at the expense of the cigar lighters which are
disconnected). I believe the Black/white strip wire is intended to go
the 20A ac/heater fuse and obviously not the 14A cigar fuse. Where is
this Green wire supposed to go?

talks about the mirror but fails to mention where or how it is intended to
be connected. Anyone have an idea? Frankly I doubt the mirror works
anyway but would like to understand the correct configuration if there's
any hope to bring life back to it.

Subject: Seat Spring
I'm looking for the two double reverse looking springs that go just
above the seat hinge on bucket seats. I believe they call them Retarder
Springs. I need them for my 300F front seats. I know they use them on
other years because my 63 Dodge also has them. If anybody has one or
two they want to part with please let me know. ThankYou....Gary Barker

Subject: 413 Journal Problem?
Hello Group,
A friend is about to close up his 413 and noticed the rear journal
looks strange like it has been machined away. Take a look and tell me
what you think. He claims the engine has never been opened until it's
present rebuild. The pictures are at:
www.garlic.com/~chuxter
The back side of the journal is only 1/8" thick at the top. The other
journals fine. Is this a 413 thing as the 440 and 383 cranks that I have
seen are much thicker than this.
tia,
Chuck
