Inflation: How to cut money in half
without damaging the paper.

I wanted a stable relationship
so I bought a horse.

I started out with nothing
and I still have most of it.

Our treasurer Gloria Moon writes:
The officers, board and attending club members voted to increase annual dues at the 2016 Spring Meet business meeting in Michigan. We have found that current dues are not covering the cost of operating expenses such as postage and printing of our newsletters, membership reminders and other mailings. We would like to have more funds available to reproduce more on the “Parts Wanted” spreadsheet. Postage is a huge chunk of our treasury, but we all enjoy our newsletters. Some clubs have gone to the all-electronic mailing (we do have our very own e-newsletter too), but in some ways we are as wonderfully old-fashioned as our 300s.
The new dues schedule is:
US & Canada - $35.00/year
Foreign - $40.00/year
|
All dues received and postmarked after 12/31/16 will be at the increased rate. To see when your dues should be renewed, check the label on this newsletter envelope. And yes, everyone may pay up to 3 years in advance – or not. If you have any questions, drop me a line at agmoon300@gmail.com or call 410-877-7803. I’ll be happy to answer.

seen the light of day for years and deserve another look.

"I have decoded a J build sheet.
Click here to download the decode.
So far this is the only J build sheet I have come across.
It was found in the springs of the lower rear seat cushion.
If anyone should find their J build sheet, I would interested in seeing it.
Also, if anyone would like their 1963 data plate de-coded, send it to me at
cbilter@mchsi.com. "

A conversation with George (around 2004 I think) revealed that he thought the best replacement cam for 60-61 long ram cars was cam "CS327 from Sealed Power".
I have it in my F and in my G and just bought one for John's F convert we are restoring now.
My engine shop says it is readily available, there was 90 in stock in Philadelphia when they ordered mine!!
My F engine was put on the dyno and came out with 495 ft/lb of torque at 2800 rpm, exact factory published numbers!
John can attest to the good drivability of the car with that cam as he drove my F this summer to go to the Macungie meet.
You need a three key way crank gear and need to set it up at the 2 degree retard key, that will get you the correct valve timing required with ram manifolds.
Looking at the engine shop invoice, it says: "Clevite 3pc. Timing set no. 9-3104" for the timing components.
Hope this helps.
Write us with whatever might
be on your mind.

parking lot.
This was the Newport Rhode Island meet of 2002.
Ken was working on it by himself. In no time, Andy Mikonis,
Greg Leggatt
and others joined in without being asked.
