Subject: Re: Solutions to the engine rebuild dilemma
Hi Jonathan.
By not paying attention to the installed height of the valves, the
valve
train geometry has been changed. The rocker tip no longer pivots over
the centerline of the valve stem. This will accelerate wear of the valve
guide.
Grinding the valve or the seat too much will change the volume of
the
combustion chamber because the valve now sits deeper in the head.
Compression ratio is lowered. Because of the shortened pushrods, the
valves aren't opening as far which affects cylinder filling. As RPM goes
up there is less time to fill the cylinder, plus less compression; the
engine runs increasingly rough and with less power/torque. The valves
should have all been matched to the worst one or the bad ones replaced.
The volume and compression in all chambers/cylinders need to be the same.
Normally, a new cam is installed with new lifters unless the cam's
profile is verified to be within specs. Hope this helps for the next
time.

Subject: Re: C300
A friend, who acquired a C300 last fall and is now working on it, asked me
to
relay the following questions to those of you in "300land" so he can
complete
some of the jobs he has begun. He is a new club member but has not yet
added
his name to the list serve. If you will send your responses to me
directly,
I will see that he receives all the info you share. Thanks.
1. What is the paint code number he needs to take to the paint shop for
platinum?
2. Where can he get the rubber fuel line that connects the dual carbs?
3. Do any C300s have an outside visor over the windshield?

Subject: '61-'62 Dash pad -'60 remote hood latch - sale
Good afternoon & happy Tuesday.
I've a good (black) dashpad removed from a '62 300. Not sure if the
embossing is same for '61, but fit should be identical.
It's very nice except for a crack between the rear-view mirror hole and
the windshield. That appears to be the only crack. The crack appears very
fixable - though its fine for a driver as-is.
There's a small pad of dbl-stick tape (coffee cup holder?) in the center.
Not sure how best to remove it, (wd40?) so I left it alone.
$100 + (careful)shipping.
The hood latch came from a '60 New Yorker and does not have the cable or
pull. I've got only the latch mechanism itself.
Free + shipping.
Thanks & have a great week.

Subject: Chrome piece for a 64
I am in the process of rebuilding the body on my 64 300 non letter car.
I am in need of the chrome that goes around the left front corner of the
fender and then widens out for the wide stainless steel trim and 2
moldings
that runs down the side.
I also need the stamped metal piece that attaches to this part and goes to
the hood opening.
Thanks for the help.

Subject: 58 300 D generator question
Could a few members with 300 D's please answer a generator question for
me.
The correct generator for non-air is the GJC-7013B. I have a GJC-7012-A
which is a 57 Plymouth generator and is only 6 3/4" between the mounting
ears. The mounting bracket requires 7 1/4" which is correct for the GHM
series.
Would you please measure the distance between the ears on your GJC
generator. Could there be two different mounting brackets? Also the
diameter of the GHM is 5" whereas the GJC is 4.45". If you haven't
guessed I
am trying to build a correct 58 generator but the differences between the
7012 and 7013 seem to be more than the specifications indicate.
Thank you to those who help.
