    Ammeter bypass

    Is this something that is important to do if everything in the car is factory stock? I've heard it should be done if you upgrade the alternator and start pulling a lot more amps than the factory wiring was designed for. I'm guessing the only reason they catch fire is because the connections on...

    Sure-Grip lube

    What does the additive actually do? I just bought some limited-slip gear lube from NAPA that says it's ready to use right out of the bottle--no additive needed. Can this also be used in a non-Sure-Grip diff?

    What to use in a 1968 4-spd transmission

    I have a service manual for a 1968 Chrysler and it says to use the Dexron ATF in the 3-spd manual transmission. I have a 4-spd manual in my '68 300 (not original to the car). I want to top it off, but I don't know what's already in it. If it's filled with ATF would topping it off with 85w90...

    Oh crap, I just changed my oil with a low-zinc oil, what should I do?

    I bought some Chevron Delo 400 oil on sale. It's for diesels so I thought it would be great for my 1968 Chrysler 300 with a 440 TNT. Now I see that it's a low zinc oil. I'm panicking. I haven't even driven the car on the road yet, just moved it from one garage to another across my yard, but...

    Torqueflite oil pan gasket

    I bought the OEM gasket for 90's Jeeps or trucks or whatever that someone here recommended as a superior alternative to the cork gaskets. I thought I heard somewhere that since it's slightly thicker you need to use pan bolts that are slightly longer. Is this true and how important is this? Thanks!

    1968 Chrysler power steering pressure hose

    I was just wondering what the orientation of this hose was from the factory. I've seen this hose attached all kinds of different ways but I was never sure which way the factory did it. I picture would be GREAT if anyone has one. Thanks!

    Metal fuel lines

    I've been thinking about the possibility of an engine fire due to using rubber fuel line between the fuel pump and carb, but I don't have the original carb on the engine and I don't have any way of making a custom metal fuel line. Can these be bought? I have a Street Demon carb and it's on a...

    Thoughts from Carlisle 2022

    I think just about the coolest thing I saw there was the 1955 Imperial Body on the 2006 Magnum chassis. So impressive!! There was also a 1955 300 on a 2017 Hellcat chassis done by the same crew. Blew my mind! Also the green Dodge Charger Daytona in the building was very cool. Someone had a...

    A question about automatic transmission fluid

    In my '68 Chrysler I've been using the so-called "universal" "multi-use" transmission fluid, which I believe is basically equivalent to the Dexron III we used to use back in the day. I've been told that the latest spec Mopar fluid (ATF +4, I think) isn't backwards compatible and shouldn't be...

    Does anyone have a '68 Chrysler 4-door with a center console?

    Do these even exist? I'm pretty sure I saw one once. I think it would be cool because of the rarity of it.

    1968 Chrysler 300 power brake problem

    Every once in a while when you press the brake pedal, it feels like there's no power assist, like the engine isn't running. You can still stop the car but have to push a lot harder. Doesn't do it every time. What can cause this? Thanks.

    bench seat cover

    Can anyone recommend a good quality front seat cover for a 1968 Chrysler with bench seats? I currently have a blanket laying on the seat, but it's not ideal because it keeps sliding around. Having the seats re-upholstered is the long term plan, but I need something to put on for the near term...

    1968 Chrysler 300 transmission oil leak

    The pan gasket was just replaced, but it's still leaking. It looks like it's leaking from the pan gasket but it's hard to tell. I think it's a Fel-Pro gasket. Can these pans get bent or is there a better gasket to use? Any other common places these transmissions can leak? Thanks!

    Vibration!!

    My '68 300 has some vibration in the drive line. It does it when you are on the throttle or off the throttle, but at steady speed it seems to go away. I've already posted a thread on this forum about it and received a lot of advice. I'm leaning towards it being a problem with the differential...

    1968 Chrysler 300 front turn signal bulb

    I hate to ask this question because I should be able to look this up, but believe me, I've tried. I don't trust the information I'm finding. What is the correct amber front turn signal bulb? Is it 1157? Isn't that a dual filament bulb used for the tail lights? I'm hoping some expert here...

    1968 Chrysler 300 front brake shoes

    I found some NOS brake shoes that are supposed to be for this car, they're 11x2.75 shoes, but Rockauto shows this car using either 11x3 or 11x2.5 so do I need to actually measure the ones on the car? These are for the front BTW, and the car doesn't have a trailing towing package or anything...

    Starter relays different for Auto and Manual transmission?

    So, we took the '68 300 out for a drive today, and almost got stranded because when we tried to start it after it was parked for a while, the engine wouldn't turn over. My brother tapped on the starter relay a bit then it turned over. So, I figured we'll get a new starter relay, they're cheap...
