bE SURE to NOT put automatic transmission fluid in the system. Use only genuine power steering fluid, as Chrysler spec'd. CBODY67

Ignition is full electronic. No contact points as in the past. Power steering pumps are all "reman" now, no new ones that I know of. Look for quality brands other than "Cardone". Match the pump pulley diameter. Might be a 7-digit part number stamped into the old one? CBODY67

On the Carter ThermoQuad 4bbl, the smooth flap on top is the choke valve, the "bent metal" flap in cad plating coating is the secondary side of things. The round tube in the middle goes directly into the float bowl, as mentioned. First thing I would do is to trace each of the tubes/hoses from...

Welcome from TX!

1965 to 1968 are the model years which have pretty much the same structure in C-body cars, with 1964 and 1969 have been different platform series for C-body cars. Not completely sure about 1969 interchanges, though. Other than some in here, the definitive source would be the Hollander...

There is a difference between the "boot" and "well liner". You might be using "boot" to mean "well liner"? To me, the well liner will always stay in place and separate the top from what's in the luggage compartment, including being a water shield of sorts. What I'd term "boot" would be the...

The original Purple Shaft cam was the 426HEMI grind, 284/284 .48_" lift. Other than measuring the lobe lift, you can chunk it back into a block, add two lifters and pushrods, timing chain set. Then put a degree wheel on the crank and measure the duration with a dial indicator for max lift. I...

Plus a low-tech, expensive anti-theft situation, too.

Welcome from North TX! Sounds like a neat group of cars you have! Some incognito upgrades can make then easier to maintain and nicer to enjoy. CBODY67

As mentioned, tire section width dimension is one aspect of things. Chrysler wagons usually had 9.00x14 tires on them, usually mounted on 14x6.5" wheels. Our '66 Newport had some rubber boots on the outer tie rod ends, for apparent protection from road splash (for the rubber boot on the TRE)...

Generally, the coil wire needs to be reasonably short for best results. "Hiding it" will only make it longer and can affect the ultimate voltage the spark plugs see, due to the resistance/foot of the coil wire. Might not be enough loss to matter in many cases, but it still needs to be as short...

Howdy! Glad to see you back here. As most of the focus might be on E85 (which can vary in alcohol content, unless you buy it in race gas drums), but it seems that E15 is a growing product for most people. Other than the normal metallic issues with fuel lines and such, what has been your...

One of our late Mopar Club members had a '64 Dart GT 273/235 that he had put some fenderwell headers on back when they were popular. I was amazed at how much metal had to be removed from the inner fenders on that car! YIKES! Much more of a "race only" situation, rather than a hot street car...

Welcome and Congrats on the find, quick action, and getting the title work tidied-up. Now, you can progress with things knowing that all is well and it is yours. CBODY67

Welcome from the DFW area! There should be a Mopar club in Austin, so they can be another source of information. Plus one in San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, and the Houston area. Enjoy! CBODY67

ONE thing to remember, on Chrysler product brakes, the brakes happen "at the top" of travel, not "1/2 way down" as similar GM vehicles usually were. That was when they were new or unmolested used cars. NO way should the pedal get anywhere near the floor during normal stopping actions. IF the...

Welcome aboard! I'll concur, get the Newport running and take your time with the 300. Note the differences in the two cars' mechanical bits, as there are some differences, other than between a 383 and a 440, or some different bodywork. Enjoy! CBODY67

Typically, chroming costs by "the batch", rather than "the piece". After you get everything together that you (and some friends) want to get chromed, THEN take it to the desired chrome. ONE observed thing about getting castings chromed or re-chromed. Think of it like doing body work with...

Looks pretty decent. Thanks. CBODY67

Howdy and welcome aboard! You found a pretty neat car! ANY Chrysler Corp convertible is a low-to-lower production vehicle, period. Worth saving even if it takes a bit to make it happen. The data plate should detail the oem color combinations and equipment. That combination was not uncommon...
