    SOLD 1966 Chrysler 300 coupe

    Hey guys: I have decided to sell my '66. My primary focus has remained with the A-bodies and I just don't drive it anymore. I wanted to offer it here first. This is a base 300 in Regal Blue metallic. The only options are A/C, power steering and an AM radio. Sold new in TN 12/24/65. I...

    1966 Carter AFB starving for fuel?

    Hey all: I've had a long-term issue with the carburetor on my '66 300 383, which is the original 4131S. It works perfectly "most" of the time, but it appears to run out of fuel when I am in the secondaries. I don't drive this car hard but there are times when I need the power(and other...

    '66 300 vent window whistle

    Hey guys: I am having an issue with my left vent window not wanting to close tightly to the seal. I don't want to crank the handle any harder than I am. It will physically close if I push it with my fingers but it will not stay there. There is probably a 1/4 inch gap. Is there a solution...

    Anybody know where to get a PS pump brass seat?

    This goes in the power steering pump and is what the end of the pressure line seats against. When they get deformed you have a leak that no amount of tightening resolves. I tried removing it(the FSM has the procedure) and dressing it, but only slowed it down. Thanks.

    1966 Chrysler left vent window is whistling

    Hi there: I'm having an issue with the driver side vent window on my car. It produces a lot of wind noise because the window itself will not close completely, as if it is out of adjustment. The open/close crank does work, but there is a huge amount of slack at each end of the travel, as...

    1966 Chrysler dash vents doing something odd...

    Hey there: I've been driving my '66 with standard heater/AC later into the year and had to use the heater a few times. Something isn't quite right. The air temperatures out of the 2 center vents above the ash tray are distinctly different from one another. The air out of the left(driver side)...

    Those of you with '65-66 300's and related....

    Hey guys: I've had my '66 on the road for a year or so and have been working out some bugs along the way. I thought it might be both fun and informative to describe the issues I've had with MY car to see whether you guys have had the same things happen. 1. The worst, and still ongoing issue...

    A heads-up about the repro 65-66 gas tanks...

    A year or so ago I bought a new gas tank and a new sending unit for a 1965-66 C-body for Van's Auto. I have purchased many items from Van's that worked well, so this is not a bash thread. However, I had problems with these two items, enough so that I would hold off on buying either until they...

    Locked up electric washer motor....

    Hey guys: Has anyone dealt with a seized washer pump? The electric motor part seems operable, but something is stuck elsewhere. If it went together in 1965 it can come part in 2019, but I'm open to a workaround to get it going again if you have one. Thanks!

    Exhaust joint midway back...why is it there?

    So my '66 300 has a very rotten single exhaust from the muffler back. I want dual exhaust if I'm going to go to the trouble of locating another reputable exhaust guy(the old one retired). The reason I'll have to find a shop here to build a system is that buying any of the three known kits for...

    1966 C-body gas tank J-bolts

    Hey guys: Started to install the new gas tank in my '66 300 and found one j-bolt missing entirely and the other very, very frozen. I started looking around for a set, of which there are plenty. However, most say "68-76 , will fit '67 C-body non-wagon ONLY". What's the deal? The bolt I cut...

    O'Reilly auto parts lists the wrong air filter for 383 engines

    I thought I would give a heads-up about this. When I got my '66 300, there was a "new in the box" Wix air filter in the trunk. I noted the number, 42041, checked it online and it matched for a 1966 383 or 440. A few months later I was nearing the end of the engine restoration and dug that...

    '66 Chrysler...what are those extra pipes on the firewall?

    I meant to ask this earlier but forgot. AC car...2 heater core pipes near the center of the firewall, 2 AC lines right of that. What's the line in the bottom passenger corner that splits into 2? My '68 non-ac Plymouth doesn't have that. Thanks again.

    1965-66 383 belts and power steering pics?

    Hey guys: I have the engine back in the '66 300 I rescued a couple months ago. Everything came to me in boxes, including the bracketry for the engine accessories. The FSM doesn't provide pictures of those items nor the belt routing, so if it isn't too much trouble could someone post up a...

    Fan blades, painted or natural?

    Hey guys: I am restoring the engine accessories for my '66 300, and have a question about the fan. My 7-blade clutch-style fan dated J65 does not have any evidence of paint on the blades. The hub has black paint on it, but the rivets holding the blades to the hub are natural on both sides. So...

    1966 Paint code E, paint supply house can't find a formula...

    Hey guys: I wanted to pick up some paint for my '66 300, and my semi-local paint house claims they can no longer find the formula. Same with a secondary supplier who I only use in a pinch. I don't believe this information just evaporated. The ingredients still exist, it's simply that some...

    Another '66 300 gets saved

    Hey guys: I was in the market for a new project recently, and found this '66 300 sitting in the weeds way out in the country(via craigslist of course). I initially passed on the ad because I had found a 1965 Newport sedan that was already running and driving, but once I looked at the 300 it...

    Removing the blower motor?

    Hey guys: Is it possible to remove the blower motor out through the engine side of the firewall on a '66 with A/C? I'm aware that it dismounts from the 3 rubber isolaters, but how after after that? Thanks!
