    Leaf Springs - Would you do it yourself?

    I consider myself a pretty decent “maintenance mechanic” and recently boosted my confidence with some radiator and alternator replacements (thanks to you great folks here). I have always had an internal issue with the ride height of my 300. I am beginning to think the issue is some tired leaf...

    SOLD 1968 Distributor Parts

    I am cleaning out some old boxes and came across these parts for the distributor I no longer need (I have an MSD system now). Anyone interested in the whole lot? I am thinking $40 plus shipping…. Looking to send all of it to one place. Points, condensers, cap, rotor, even a ballast resistor...

    What are these?

    Going through a boxes of parts and supplies and came across this package of bushings (I think they’re bushings). No manufacturer listed in the bag, just a part number: KB404 1090301A Any idea what this might be? The pic is everything that was in the bag. I have a 1968 300 convertible.

    Spark Plug Wire Heat Shield (‘Socks’)

    My car has been through a rough couple of weeks. Radiator replaced, alternator replaced, now getting to maintenance items and see the heat from the exhaust manifold has destroyed my spark plug wire boot (driver side, closest to the driver). Any of you have luck with those heat shield socks...

    Voltage Regulator Mounting Screws

    Any chance someone could share a pic and/or details for the mounting screws for a 1968 voltage regulator? I don’t think the one screw I have holding mine to the fire wall is correct (the fact there is only one is a tell tale sign)

    System voltage is low - Battery not charging

    In addition to my radiator issue, I discovered my battery is not charging in my ‘68 300 either. I went for the easy fix and got a solid state voltage regulator. No luck! Volts are still between 11.8 and 12.2. Went and got a remanufactured 55 amp alternator at the local Napa, installed it and...

    Coolant Overflow Bottle

    I am in the process of replacing my radiator which I think is going to cure a lot of my heat issues. During this process, I want to add a coolant overflow bottle. I have a 1968 300 with a 440 engine. From what I can tell, back in those days the overflow just spilled to the ground (the tube in...

    Turn Signal Repair

    I got a repop turn signal canceling cam for my ‘68 300 with tilt/telescope steering column (thank you @marty mopar ). I have never pulled a steering wheel, let alone worked on the inside of the column. I studied lots of YouTube videos, bought a steering wheel puller/compression tool, and got...

    Spark Plug Wire Replacement

    I will be doing some maintenance next weekend including new distributor cap, rotor, and plugs. My question is should I also do the spark plug wires at the same time? How long do plug wires last?? Thanks for any knowledge you are willing to share.

    ‘68 300 Fender Tag

    Met up with my buddy at a show yesterday who also has a 1968 300 convertible. He was interested in having his fender tag decoded. I did my best at trying to decide it myself, but I think I am putting too many spaces in. IIRC @ayilar is the guru at this, right? Thank you! Our ‘68 300s:

    Theoretical question (glovebox)

    Is it possible to replace a glovebox liner without pulling the dash apart? I have done no other research on this yet, figured I’d ask here first. Thanks! p.s. this is in a ‘68 300.

    ‘68 300 Convertible ‘Cousin’

    Met a really cool retired guy at a car show a couple of weeks ago. His name is Rex and he was selling some parts to a ‘68 300 (which is what I drive). Turns out he has a very nicely restored ‘68 300 convertible too. And he only lives about 20 miles from me. We talked about a lot of things, but...

    Tail light gremlins

    Hello great and honorable sages of C bodies. The other day I got a quick flashing fender turn signal on the left side of my ‘68 300’ convertible. I figured this was a symptom of a blown bulb. But after getting back home I realized the brake light was also out on the left side (along with the...

    Convertible repair work

    The top on my ‘68 300 decided to not go up the other day. I pulled the seat and saw a bunch of air in the lines. Shined a flash light behind the quarter panel and realized where all the oil had gone (probably over the course of the last 30 years). Removed the quarter panels and got to work.
