nickelroadster Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 my info shows serial numbers from pp454y to pp930h. It should have a Fedco plate on the dash with the engine number followed by an H. Something looks different here. Anyone have anything to the contrary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Too many #'s in the dash plate.....it's only supposed to be six (6) figures long.........the serial #'s on series 70's range from 165801 to 272870.....translate the letters reading 1 to 0........... WPCHRYSLED.......W is 1 and D is 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steve shulman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 HARRY, I AM IN BUFORD. THE FEDCO PLATE IS YYY642PPP. THE TITLE NUMBER AS IT WAS TITLED IN CALIFORNIA WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IS 186303. I AGREE THE FEDCO PLATE HAS TOO MANY NUMBERS, THERE FOR MY QUESTION. SINCE YOU ARE IN ATLANTA, DO YOU KNOW A MECHANIC IN CASE I NEED ONE. MY ONLY PROBLEM AT THE MOMENT IS THE GORN NEEDS TO BE WIRED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE HORN BUTTON TO GET TO THE BACK OF IT TO WIRE IT. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

Guest steve shulman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I AGREE, THEREFORE MY QUESTION. I AM IN BUFORD GA AND AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A MECHANIC OR SOMEONE THAT CAN TELL ME HOW TO REMOVE THE HORN BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS THERE ARE NO WIRES COMING DOWN INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN TO HOOK UP THE HORN. 1927 MODEL 70 CHRYSLER.

F&J Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 On my old 29 and 30 Mopars, you need to loosen the cross-through screws on the 2 levers at the bottom of the steering box, then slide the levers off the thin shaft. Once the levers are off the end, you will be able to pull up on the entire horn ass'y with handles attached. Then there were screws from under those levers to take the button apart. There could be old sticky grease on that long inner thin shaft, so it may be a bit stiff, trying to pull it up enough to get at the screws.Those old potmetal switch lever handles can break pretty easily, so be careful about prying with any kind of a tool.

HarryJ Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Steve, first let me correct what I posted. You don't have enough numbers. Each set of three letters represents one digit. The FEDCO plates are sometimes difficult to read................check the left hand side where the Chrysler logo is (hard to see on mine) and see if there is another three letters.

HarryJ Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The horn wire comes out at the base of the steering column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
