After adjusting both sides, I seemed to have them working in unison reasonably well.

G'day all, I am having an interesting problem with my 1928 Chrysler 62 front brakes. When I brake at any speed the steering pulls to the left. Would this be a simple adjustment of the right front brake bands? I have bled the brakes and pressurised the master cylinder with brake fluid tank T handle. Regards, Moe

You dont have a number plate/tail light bracket arm?

How much for the punching bag??? I need to get back into shape..... :rolleyes:

Hey mate, I have a 28 Chrysler 62 and maybe interested in the parts. Where in Oz are you? Im in northern suburbs of Brisbane.

Thanks for the helpful info. I am member of the http://chryslerownersclubqld.com/site/ I also have an Australia Chrysler 1969 Valiant hardtop (Aussie version of the Dodge Dart ) but that is another story. Chrysler vintage cars (many Ford A models, Chevs, Whippets, Humpmobiles, Fiats, etc) are very thin on the roads here in Australia and hence why I joined aaca.com to get valuable info on my 62. I am not planning on removing the tyre off the rim, just learning how to change the tyre/rim with the spare. Can the tyre come off the rim accidentally? Keep smiling, Moe

I tried to pull it off with some gentle force but I may need to give it just a little more. Thanks for the input. Regarding bodies being built locally, I believe the Chrysler models were imported fully assembled but many other makes had their bodies manufacturer by local builders like the iconic Australian company - Holden. Holden in the late 40's was taken over by General Motors and became the local arm of GM as GMH. Before my first drive of her, I did an oil change (old oil was black as a crow) with Castrol 15w 40 mineral 5 litres. Approximately 5 litres of the old oil was drained and the dip stick read full. But the oil was burning and the oil fumes were exiting via the oil cap. While driving I notice the oil pressure was down to 10psi but with the old oil it was idling at 30 - 40 psi. What oil is the best to use? Or, does it need more than 5 litres? Keep smiling, Moe I

Im getting to know this Chrysler a little more intimately, I assumed that changing a wheel (tyre and rim) would be a very simple process. After removing the 4 wheel nuts, does the tyre and rim simply pull off by hand? Or, is there other nuts/bolts need removing?

Australia mate.

Thank you for your kind comments. My plan was to cut the gasket to shape if new stock was not available. I will try Olson's. I am aware that the Tillotson is not the correct carb but Strombergs seem to be very thin on the ground at the moment. Tillotsons are available re-manufactured and at a reasonable price too. I wasnt aware the that the door handles were NOT correct.

Hi all, I have just joined the forum because I have taken delivery of my first vintage Chrysler 62. It needs a couple things to be taken care of before I can register it to driven on public roads. It has oil leaks from the side valve covers. I have searched far and wide on the web but have not been able to find where I could buy some. Help would be much appreciated. It has a Tillotson carb but it is in very poor condition, leaking fuel from almost all of its gasket. Increadibly, it still seems to start and run fine. I have had luck in finding a gasket kit, increadibly here in my home town - Brisbane, Australia. I am sure I will be needing more help in the future, thanks in advance. Keep smiling, Moe
