Subject: Re: Electronic Ignition ?
I am considering switching to ELECTRONIC IGNITION in my 62 300 Sport
Convertible with a 413. Could you please share your thoughts and
experiences
(both positive and negative) on the Pertronix conversion or the Mopar
Performance conversion? I know that the Pertronix conversion will not
detract from the original appearance and using the M.P. conversion will
add
a ECU to the firewall. Other than that is one really any better than the
other?
Thank you in advance to all of you who take the time to respond.

Subject: Re: Electronic Ignition ?
The mopar setup is the best way to go, just make sure to upgrade the
voltage regulator to the solid state item(the ecu doesn't get along well
with points-type regulators).You could always hide the ecu somewhere else
on the car to evade the originality police.

Hi Charlie: Go with the Chrysler set up. I've heard pro and con on
Petronix. Also, you will be able to get Chrysler replacement parts at
ANY parts store. You can mount the ECU anywhere, not just the
firewall, such as inner fender panel forward near where the horns
bolt etc. That's what I did no my 'F' after we converted the
'original' distributor to Chrysler electronic system. They are virtually
trouble free. Also on my '61 Newport wagon and '68 Imperial.
Good luck,

1. Does anyone know of a goop or glop that can restore red-ness to older
bleached out taillight lenses?
2. Does anyone know of a source for the cool 55 C-300 exhaust tips?
3. Why do all 300's listed on eBay come up as 300E's?

I believe there are several parts houses that are selling the paint.

Hi All:
The diesel engine paint discussed in earlier emails was for the 300F,G ram
tubes only. It is Cummins #3163075 Apex red found by Dave Schwandt. Don't
know yet of any '62 and up turquoise matches, other than the Plasticote
#210
which is fast becoming unobtainable. I have Chrysler masters for that
color,
so if anyone comes up with something they think matches, send me a sample.
300ly, Gil

Subject: motor mounts
Hi group,
I have a 62 300 sport with the 383 engine and I would like to know what
different year and models used the same mount. I have access to a machine
shop where I can do modifications so I am open to suggestions.
Thanx for any replies.

Subject: motor mounts and also shift cables and speedo cables
Hi Denny,
All short wheelbase big block fullsize Chrysler cars used the same mounts,
1960 thru 1964. Key word: "short wheelbase" .
Dave Charette makes nice polyurethane repro mounts, ready to install.
www.imperialservices.net ; description as follows:
Now Available!
1960-1964 Floating Power Replacement Mounts
New Steel brackets with Polyurethane Insulators.
Now available in regular and soft durometer for that classic "Floating
Power" feel.
Optional internal locking feature for increased durability under hard
usage
conditions.
These mounts look just like the originals!
$120 each + shipping
add $10 each for internal locking feature
>From looking at his web site, I see that Steve also has brandy-new repro
shift and park cables !
1962-1965 Shift and Park Lock Cables
These Premium shift cables are built using only the finest materials
available. The inner cable and ends are 300 series stainless steel. The
outer jacket is an aircraft grade corrugated stainless core with a braided
stainless covering, with 300 series stainless steel ferrules. The housing
is then covered with black poly insulation for a stock look
There are many other neat items, such as speedo ratio adapters, etc... go
take a look !

Subject: RE: motor mounts
Denny:
I am not sure exactly what your question is. I do not know what different
year and models used the engine mount used on your 1962 Chrysler 300
"Sport". I think you are asking where to get a replacement mount for your
1962 383 engine. The 383 and 413 mounts should be the same.
There is a company that advertises a reproduction "Floating Power" engine
mount for 1962 thru 1964 Chrysler "C" bodies that looks the same as the
one on my 1962 Chrysler 300 "Sport". They also offer a repro transmission
mount as well as shift and speedo cables.

I have not bought anything from them but saw their products at the Spring
Fling here in Southern California a year or so ago and they looked quite
nice.
Good Luck,
