Luther,
I would get the car up on a lift and check the following; Check the
shift cable adjustment wheel (it's at the front of the case) to see if the
retaining bolt has loosened, if that is ok then I would check cable
condition
for fraying. If that is fine, drop pan and inspect the cable to valve body
linkage. Seems as though something is loosening up, assuming that the
trans
functioned fine previously. Now would be a great time to drain the
convertor
, clean screen on valve body, and put a new filter in the cooling line. As
to
what fluid is recommended...well we had quite a thread about that last
year...where did we end up on that (list)? As I recall Type F won out. Let
us
know what you find. Dan

Subject: [Chrysler300] 57-59 quarter panels
The 1957 - 1959 left and right full quarter panels (from the s/s trim
down, door opening to bumper) being made by Metal Crafters should be ready
for sale in approx. a month. This is a project the club has been working
on
with D/C and Metal Crafters. Price for each panel will still be in the
$125.00 to $150.00 price range. This is the third stage of manufacture.
The Reproduction Committee has been very critical of the quality of these
panels and they have been checked very closely to the actual panels on the
cars during each stage.
These panels will not be stocked in the club store for obvious reasons.
Ordering and payment details will be posted on the listserver and in the
club publications as soon as the panels are made available. A final
meeting
with M.C. will be made in the second last week of Feb.
The Committee, George, Ken & Michael

Hi to all,
I received the following e-mail from John Photakis' son; those of you that
have been on the listserver awhile might remember his name or some of his
postings. John loved his cars and our hobby and was a dedicated collector.
We shall miss him.

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Build sheets,etc.
Hi all,
I got my build sheet (punch card copy) from Chrysler Historical
some weeks ago. Price was around $ 50.00, expensive for 3 copies
of the build sheet and a hand written explanation ! no infos
about options codes, schedule date etc.. Fortunately i know (at
last for '57) the codes of the data plate !
i've put on a page of my site
(http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f/chs_us.htm) one pic of the card and
the explanations about code deciphement. You must also go to the
data plate page to know the option codes (ther's a link on the
page).

Subject: Re: No gas!!!
Owen:
One more idea...I had a 1962 TriPower Pontiac Grand Prix (sorry - but it
was
a car that GM thought could be "kinda like a Letter Car", when you think
about it!) w/ a fuel block and neoprene hoses (non-stock) to each of the
Rochesters (You didn't state what kind of fuel lines you have - a stock
setup would eliminate the situation I am describing). When the car was in
a
warm situation and at an idle or in traffic after a run, the heat from the
manifold crossover in the center of the intake would emanate up and
literally boil the gas in the neoprene lines.
I doubt that's what is happening w/ you, if you have stock Six Pack lines,
but just sharing an experience (switching to repro fuel lines at the carbs
fixed this issue).

>Hi all
>
>First off I have to tell you this problem is not happening on my 300
letter
car, but on my 440 GTX. I figure the list is kinda quiet at the moment and
I'm sure that this could just as easily be a letter car
problem.......besides it's got me stumped! Anyway here goes....
>
>The problem has only occurred irregularly after a long run, the most
recent
when I attended a car show and was parking up. The car just cuts out, runs
out of gas, wind it over ,nothing at the carbs ( 3x2 Holley's). Pull the
fuel line off at the pump,wind it over, nothing. So happens the previous
owner of the car comes over, "happened to me a few times too, poor some
gas
down the centre carb". So do that, starts, runs nice, until the next time
that is!
>Their seems to be no real pattern to it occurring, apart from the fact
it's
always happed to me after a reasonably long run, and is back around idle
speed. Fuel pump? Air lock? Carb?
>Thanks for any help or suggestions, before I start pulling things part,
would be greatly appreciated.

owen;
check the length of the fuel pump rod, it may be worn down and
now be too short to pump properly.
