Subject: F Heater Cover
Hi All!
I removed my heater cover on my F today and the fiberglass is cracked in several places around the edge where the mounting bolts attach.
Can anyone steer me to a replacement? What other years/models are compatible?
Thanks in advance, 300ly, Doug

Doug-
Does your F have a/c or not? Most of the housings somewhere have the
model number of the heater molded into it. If you can give us that info it
would assist in getting you a correct unit for the F. Each parts book from
60-64 list different model #'s for the heaters and a different part number
for the housing, but looking at them they appear to be the same, except of
course the model # molded into them. It looks as though the A/c unit housing
is the same. Also if a/c equipped do you need the heater core cover as well.

Hey Joe,
This is an "naturally ventilated" "F", no AC. In big print "Model 715" on
it with "W1" below that.
Anything else?
Thanks, Doug

Subject: Fuelie !
Hi to all,
Here's a good way to start the new week - take a peek at pictures of Club
member Tom White's fuel injected DeSoto convertible - this is an original
fuelie car, now equipped with original fuel injection... and - it runs, too
!
I spoke to Tom about this car, and the fuelie setup, while we were standing
in a parking lot in Phoenix... great story about how he located the unit,
but we'll leave that for him to tell....
Many thanks to Don Verity for the great pictures, which are posted at:
http://chrysler300club.com/jhstuff/fuelie/fuelie.html
300'ly to all
John

Subject: Oiling Question
Putting together a 413 for our '62 300 Sport. The car came with the
383, so the 413 block is from a '64 Imperial Limo.
The oil runs to the top end of the motor through galleys which travel
through the rocker shafts.
I have all new rocker shafts, arms, lifters and pushrods.
The lifters have oil holes on their tops.
The pushrods have oil holes that run though their center shaft.
The rocker arms have oil holes in the dimple, where the pushrod seats.
Today I spun the oil pump to get the oil to the top end of the motor.
And the lifters filled up first, then the oil traveled through the
pushrods, through the rocker arms, which then flowed over the rocker
arms and back down onto the head area.
I don't think the oil is traveling through the shafts and out the shaft
oil holes, though the entire top end is getting oil.
Am I fine?
I think I am, though the oil route doesn't match the route shown in the
1962 shop manual.
The stock brand new pushrods I bought are solid shaft pushrods with a
thinner end on the lower side. If anybody cares to buy these never
installed pushrods, please let me know. They were too long to work with
the performance cam I have in the motor.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: Oiling Question
Matt,
The oil passage to the rockers is supplied with oil when drilled portion of
the cam journal is lined up with it and the passage up from the main
bearing. This setup gives a metered amount of oil to the rockers when the
engine is turning but oil won't flow when priming the system unless the
crank happens to be positioned to line up a pair of holes.
Sounds like everything's fine.
Mike

If your lenses are totally bleached out you're out of luck.
If you have surface oxidation you can use Novus plastic
polish #2. Apply with a soft cloth and rub. Repeat until
you get a shiney surface.

Subject: Re: Misc Questions
If your lenses are faded you aren't necessarily out of luck.......at least
not with plastic.
Years ago my dad and I experimented with transluscent red paint on a faded
set of taillight lenses on our Motorhome. We bought the transluscent paint
from a hobby/craft store and painted the inside of the lens with it. We used
a brush and applied it as evenly as possible.....it looked really good and
lasted for many years without fading again.(Could still be bright for all I
know) The results would have been even better if we had air brushed/sprayed
the paint on but for our purposes it was fine with the brush.
Good Luck.
