Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately your tag at Simplexco is one of the things I posted. What are the odds of that, of finding a webpage on your car before it was your car??? And BTW - I sent you a PM on something 300L-related.

All 300Ls would have the same 413HP, with 360 hp rating. I've not paid attention to those cars/codes because they should all be the same. Until now, anyway. Here's a posting of a car and FT, I think this might be the former Don Rook car that someone on here sold awhile back (@hergfest...

99 at AB would be special-order engine per the codes on some websites. But I once had a 65 Dodge 880 with a 383-2, and it had a 99 for engine code (which matches the black snip below). My 300L also has a 99, and Simplexco says 65 Chrysler AB of 99 is for 413. But a different website says...

Was it coded for a 4-speed also?

Those rear wheels have the appearance of the 15x8 Ramcharger wheels, which have 4" BS.

That was the opening act for Commando1's main event - the NYB 4-speed conversion. @commando1 - that '66 was many years ago. Do you know where that car went/where it is now?

Looks like a good candidate for that metal-plasma spray stuff. I don't think this system ever took off, though. I just googled and it's from 2004, with all the other hits being chemical stabilizers. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/mopp-0401-repairing-filler-holes-with-a-metal-spray-machine/

Kinda funny. I have a buddy with 2 SC/Ramblers in his barn, 1 in A, other in B. He got one of them out recently, washed the dust off, and put a 401/AT in it just to get it mobile. IIRC his Dad bought one of them new. And his Dad is still kickin', so it's legitimately a 1-owner car. As I...

Yes, there was a little ridge of metal that needed to be removed from the bore. The rest of the bore might've been the correct size, I haven't been back to the car to confirm that.

Followup on this wheel that started here: Exactly What Wheels & Tires Fit C Bodies? Bought a solo wheel, I can use it for a spare tire, which I was needing anyway. It fit OK but my gut told me it wasn't seated fully on the brakedrum's pilot. Sure enough, I put it on a loose brake rotor...

Yeah, that's a huge drawback of the internet. So easy to connect to people, so easy to not make real connections. Most times we don't even know each other's full name and hometown - anonymity and privacy cuts both ways. I've often thought that each of us regulars ought to have a pen pal to let...

You'll have this thing shiny and roadworthy before I get my sparkplugs changed! That Gremlin cap (for the steering wheel?) has red-white-blue similar to what a Chrysler 300 might have.

FYI, as there was some specific car/ownership stories being shared here - I just discovered that 'tdenkler' passed away in early 2021. If any of you knew him, you could leave a note here, to have all of them in one place: RIP member tdenkler (Tom Denkler)

I was doing some digging on some topics and saw that we haven't seen Tom Denkler in a few years. He had put some contact info in a thread, and I confirmed some of that info to an obituary, and to his Chrysler 300 Club page. Enough details match to conclude he's gone. I'd had emails with Tom...

I was thinking of this style of centercap. I presumed it would look better than the '70-74 version. But as you say, we haven't seen that look yet, so I'd be glad to see it either way. Even an AMC volcano would be worth seeing.

A transmission that slips during shifts might last awhile if it's babied. A transmission that's slipping constantly at highway speed is going to toast the clutch or band in short order.

Old thread, but... I met him probably 20 years ago at a swap meet. He looked about 65-ish then. Although, he did have white hair, which might make my estimate of his age a little high.

If you get more serious about that, I have a local buddy that has 25+ of them. He buys and sells, either completed cars and projects.

While I'm not a fan of 'generic' chrome wheels like this, I wonder how those wheels would look with a Mopar centercap on them.

Even if it's just a tiny gasket leak? Or where the gasket is puckered out between the bolts? Asking because I've never had to diagnose one.
