For my 1955 Chrysler 300, I’m looking for the
passenger’s side trumpet horn and a pair of the bolts with special ends
that are used to connect to the straps holding the gas tank. Time and
modern fuel had kind of dissolved the vent hose off the tank and it would leak
out the vent when filled. Unsafe, not environmentally correct and
expensive.
Question:
Is it possible the cross member that supports the rear motor
mount is not symmetric? After removing and reinstalling the cross member
to install a new rear motor mount, I’ve noticed the drive shaft is not
centered in the front part of the tunnel. The balance weights make a
funny sound when rubbing against the tunnel with four big passengers in the
car. I’m wondering if my mechanic might have reversed the cross
member. The front motor mounts do not appear to be deteriorated and I’m
assuming the driveshaft should be pretty much centered in its tunnel.
Any insights would be appreciated. We’ll take
some measurements tomorrow, but I’m real reluctant to just re-drill the
cross member to center the driveshaft. I’m wondering if the motor
mount itself might not be symmetric and could have been installed improperly.
C-300’ly.
