Maybe the two ears clip in, then there's a single screw.

Then there's an electric Ebay clock that shape for $85. You have to get at the backside to set time, which seems like no fun. Rather be able to touch a knob.

I guess a 1971 clock is different. Someone offered a 71 Newport clock. Maybe only 69 and 70 are right? If the car came without a clock, are the fasteners there to install one, or do i have to figure that out as well?

...For my 1970 300. Any Idea who might have one?

Were you able to drill the broken stub and ez out? Being in the water jacket makes me think of rusty threads.

Mine has a broken stud at the driver front, right under the "warm air intake". Big leak. The car starts, coughs, inhales its exhaust and dies. I think the two end studs go into the water jacket? Don't know about the ones in the middle. The stud kit I bought is 1 1/2" long. Hope that's...

That's very good advice. I looked at a "basket case" vert for 6000. I said "I'll have to rebuild every square inch of that car just to make it drivable", which would take years. (Plus some crazy $ with paint and chrome and all). I don't have years available anymore for that kind of project...

The next job on mine is to pull one head and drill out a broken exhaust manifold stud. I read somewhere on here that the originals were of "suspect" quality. I bought a set of new ones. I'm jealous of seeing yours on the stand, with all those easily accessible studs. A simple job to change...

Bad timing. I just installed four new 235/75/15. Maybe I can make a caliper to measure the width.

You mean under the hubcap?

The owner's manual says 5.5 was standard for 300, 6 was optional. 6 also for trailer towing. I guess it's stamped somewhere.

on my '70 300 convertible? Mine is missing it's spare tire/wheel. I know it's 15", not sure of width. I think I read somewhere that lots of cars from lots of years all used the same steel wheel size?

I guess i could put the valve on the workbench, and operate it with the Mighty Vac. Maybe try to flow some water through and see if it's leaking. Too bad there is no "kit" to renew the plungers and seats, or whatever is in there. Mine is just standard A/C, no exotic ATC. I like John's manual...

My '70 300 has the four port red plastic vacuum operated water valve. I understand that the theory of operation is that it's controlled by vacuum. Varying the amount of vacuum with the slide control changes the valve from closed at "cool" to open at "hot". When mine is all the way at cool, i...

I'm a little leery of disturbing that bulkhead connector, as in dismounting it from the firewall. Could I use those spades you show, and just snap them into the unused slots in the plastic carriers? I think I saw some restoration parts site on the 'web that sells those spades with the locking...

Mine is a '70 also. The stitching rotted where the vinyl bead attaches to the boot. Half the boot was loose, the bead was pulled halfway out of the channel and jammed in the channel. I put the whole thing on the workbench to get it free. I'm trying to understand if the different screws were...

Buy yourself a good quality digital multi meter, and make a concerted effort to learn how to use it. Maybe seek out an "old timer" to instruct you. Accurate diagnosis of electrical problems involves testing voltages at various points in the circuit. With experience, you will be able to...

I just removed the convertible boot for some sewing repairs. When I went to unscrew the channeled rail that holds the boot to the seat back, all kinds of screws came out. Some are self tapping sheet metal screws, and some are machine screws. I did see two machine screws that go into the...

R-12 is available on resale marketplaces. The consensus here on the forum seems to be that the original equipment compressor is best used with R-12. Fit a "modern" compressor for 134. I did just find 9 cans of R-12 and bought them.

The Air Conditioning is inop on my new 1970 300. It's lost it's charge. Due to the "preciousness" of R-12, I want to service the system "once and done", to whatever reasonable extent that is possible. Was thinking of new compressor bearings, shaft seal, oil change, and drier. At that...
