Subject: G Parking Brake Cable
Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to reassemble the parking brake on my G. Does the spring
portion of the brake cable actually go through the tube that is attached
to the backing plate? There seems to be a rubber isolator in there that
is causing some interferance.
If the spring portion of the cable does not go through the tube, what
is the best way to hold the spring back while the actual cable is fed
through?
Best regards,
Richard Osborne

Hi Rich,
The spring portion of the ebrake cable indeed does go all the way through
the tube. If you have a service manual (which you really ought to have) then
check the appropriate picture (figure 3 in Group 4) .

Yes, the car is now 12v. And sure enuff, the leads were reversed. All is
well now.
Does anyone know the origin of the brand name "Mopar?" Just curious.

Subject: Re: Filament of my imagination
Since you asked, I did search to explain the meaning of MOPAR. It's exactly
as I thought but I did not have to type it out.
"As far as I know, sometime in the 1930's to early 1940's Chrysler
Corporation looked into consolidating the parts divisions of all their
brands -- Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, DeSoto, Imperial etc. -- into one
division.
Thus the Chrysler Corporation Mopar (MOtor PARts) division was created.
Parts used on ANY of the brands came in boxes branded with the Chrysler
MOtor PARts logo.
Hence, over time, Mopar became a synonymous term to use to talk about any of
the Chrysler Corporation vehicles: "IT'S A MOPAR!"
My search also found this.
#1 Master Of Performance And Reliability
#2 Massively Over-Powered And Respected
#3 Mainly Old Parts And Rust
#4 Made Of Pride And Respect
#5 Measured On Pure Adrenaline Rush
#6 MOtor PARts - Chrysler

#8 Magic Of Precision And Research
#9 Muscle Of Powerful Acceleration Records

MOtor PARts......adapted by the Chrysler Parts Division, I think, in the
early 30's

Subject: 300 C rear springs and plan to historic race
Thank you to those who responded re my query re the original number of
leaves in 300 Cs. I was going to send shots of the 300s, but the floppy I
put them on suddenly won't allow opening them - bugger!
1. two of my cars (both mid April 57 manufacture) were I believe sold new in
California, and the other car (Dec '56) was ordered to run on Daytona in '57
- so suggestion that were 'export specification' does not apply as a reason
for why all have 6 leaves.
Maybe the Calif cars, by mid '57, had different springs to others? And yet
the car (2210) with the harshest rear springs is a 6 leafer, and is one of
the California cars last registered in 1973 - maybe its/these (originals)
had been replaced to get a stiffer ride - this car had transistor ignition
and other post prodn performance mods?
2. Re running 300C at historic circuit meeting. i) Cannot fit disc brakes
here and still be eligible for historic rego. ii) so will try the
competition linings route, and if backing plates are same as New Yorker,
etc, may try the radiused cut and bend out/in slightly route to get air into
drums. iii) the 'you would not believe it' dept - ran into this hot
looking girl I met 10 years ago (like Zora out of "Joe Millionaire" TV show,
and she has asked me to come and visit/stay with her over Easter - she is
1200 miles away from where the race meeting is!!! All my life, cars have
often come before women, and this year's new year resolution was to get
amongst women more - WHAT DO I DO. why is life so unkind??!! Sure as I
book and fly up there, the night before she will meet and shack up with some
other (more her age) guy!! And I will miss my race, the chance to put those
big spending Healey lovers down! Not mention cost of going there. Will
advise further

Subject: Re: Filament of my imagination
In the 50's to early 70's, dealers and shops got their parts from
'Motor Parts Depot'. I think mid 70's they changed to Mopar.
At the time I was living in the greater Los Angeles area and Motor
Parts Depot was almost in downtown Los Angeles.

Subject: Letter cars at RM Auctions
Check out the 3 letter cars being offered at RM
Auction in Novi Michigan April 23-27. They look
suspiciously like the cars from the Dr Paige
collection that RM auctioned off in Phoenix in
January.
Is sombody out to make a quick return? or did they
really sell at Phoenix?

In the mid '60's, on more than one occasion, I purchased some parts for my
C300 from Parts Wholesalers Inc. in Los Angeles. It was on Figueroa St. and
was a very busy genuine Mopar parts store; not a car dealer. The people
there were very helpful and the store had what I needed on the shelf. That
parts distribution system is long dead with Mopar.
Side note: Our shop is affiliated with AC Delco as a TSS shop and we buy AC
Delco parts through a warehouse in Phoenix that is not owned by AC Delco, GM
or any dealership. PWI sold to in those days, it did appear, anyone as well
as to dealers which is kinda what ACD is doing now as well as embracing all
makes, all models in the product line to butt heads with NAPA (which has
developed into an extremely poor supplier for us).
"It pays to buy - from PWI" (says on the invoice)

Subject: Chryslers at RM Auctions
Paul and group,
The three 300s on the web site for the Novi, MI auction look like the same cars that were in Arizona. If you look at page 56 of the April, 2003 issue of Hemmings they report two of the cars. (The '58 and the '60) There is also a 1935 Packard Twelve Coupe Roadster shown there. That car appears to also now be in the RM Auction in Michigan.
I don't know anything else. Based on what others said about RM Auctions, I presume they sold and are now for sale again. Anyone know who bid on the cars in Arizona?

Subject: '63 Chrysler 300 Red Dash Cluster Paint Needed
Hi,
I have a '63 Chrysler 300 with a
red dash cluster.
I think the paint is a semi-metallic
called Burgundy Red Poly.
I got this information from another
paint chip sheet (Detrex), but they
didn't have the color chip.
Does anyone have the interior
paint chip for Burgundy Red. Poly?
I know that some paint supply shops
can match the color off my piece, but
what if the color on the piece is faded
or possibly darker?
Perhaps the interior paint chip would
be a better sample for the real color?
300ly,
Mark Lindahl
