Thanks Ken, I assume there has been no clearance issues at full turn... Best, James

Ken, Do you know off hand the size of the wheels and the size of the tires? I will be ordering a set of 15 inch wheels, I am tried of chasing the 1964 hubcaps, and new tires. Looking to make sure that I do not go too big and get rubbing issues. Thanks, James

Ken, What wheels do you have on this car? James

Is there anyone on the forum with a 1963 or 1964 New Yorker (Not a wagon) on the forum with a sub-frame out of a car or one up on a rack? I need a very specific piece of information. I need to know the distance from the rear end of the torsion bar to the end of the torsion bar anchor...

Thanks everyone. I suspect it was a factory swap. It is obvious that it was never changed out. I guess I can go with the light blue gray or the tan in an replacement. James

Hi All, I have a '64 300K with the M4T interior code. The problem is that the headliner is that Chrysler light blue-gray perforated. SMS says it should be tan. This car is a 93K mile original one owner until me and I can say that when I pulled the package tray out and pulled the sail back to...

A 1963 Chrysler 300J, a 1964 Chrysler 300K RAM, a 1963 or 1964 with the trailer towing package and the list below MAY have a 606 and 607 spring: 1959 Plymouth 6 (all except suburbans) #1825-606 and 607. Heavy Duty. 1959 Dodge All models without a sway bar except convertible or Suburban...

There are a number of makes and models that used the 606 and 507 torsion bars. Some as their base spring and some as the higher rated spring. That is why I asked for the actual spring numbers and not the make-model. Murray does not have any. As far as I know ESPO does not deal in torsion bars...

Looking for a set of 606 and 607 torsion bars. Anyone who has a set for sale let me know. James

I do not plan on towing anything. What concerns me is that a couple of people who have dropped from 3.23 have found that they tend to have to lean into the throttle more and that tends to negate the better mileage from the numerically lower gears. So what I am fishing for are first hand...

What is your gear ratio? James

A 1964 300K is about 4400 pounds. I have 14 inch wheels on it with tires at 26.6. That said, I will be going to 15 inch wheels and tires would be 27.6.

Thank you. I do recognize what you are saying. What i am trying to find out is from people who have tried multiple gears on the same car is what is a good, if such a thing exists, between torque and gas mileage for daily driver - cross country car.

I need to make a decision in the next week on gear ratios for a 1964 Chrysler 300K. Now this car is taking over the daily driving duties, we do not own a "modern" car, from our 1947 Desoto Suburban after 20 years. The wife wants power steering and AC in retirement. The car has 742 factory...

I am looking for a set of torsion bars number 606 and 607. Used from 1957 to 1964 in a number of MOPAR'S. Also, I am looking for a 1964 11x3 read drum, bub and backing plate set. Thanks, JD.
