    Surf's UP!

    Well guys (and any gals who might be viewing).....as I type this, the Road Shark is on its way over to Gary/Wollfen's place to be stored and tinkered on by a fellow who knows these cars far, far better than me *and* does much better work, too! We've been discussing this since shortly after I...

    Change of Plans....

    I've reached an abrupt crossroads with my '66 300 project: as of Friday evening I learned there is a move in my immediate future. I've got 2 months tops to deal with everything involved with this, including finding a home, moving my family, getting the current place ready and on the market, and...

    BRRR! Snowy 300

    True, I'm originally from northern New England just a couple hours or so south of Montreal, where winter is winter every year. But still - cold is cold, and the wind makes it that much nastier. Was out with the good wife and offspring today 'playing' in the little bit of snow we got here in...

    1966 300 & Similar: Kickdown Linkage Questions

    Need some help from other owners of 300s or models with the same linkage/carb setup for the transmission kickdown. Mine arrived disconnected and when I finally got a chance to look it over this past weekend, I discovered a few things. First, with the stock crab swapped out for the Edlebrock...

    Question for 1966 300 Owners

    Because I think it's the only year with this issue: How in the HELL do you change the front directional bulbs??? The PO told me he couldn't replace them due to having fat fingers, so I figured - no problem. My hands are kinda big, but my fingers and long and skinny. No effing way. Spent half...

    The Road Shark - 1966 Chrysler 300 Project

    Okay, here is the project thread for the '66 300 which is already splattered around the site in different places. Figured I can do a brief review with links to the other threads for starters, then keep the updates here in one thread going forward. Bought this car sight-unseen from a Craigslist...

    Calling Popeye - Help Needed with Hood Hinge Torsion Bar

    All the spinach you can eat.....call now.... It finally dried up enough this afternoon to get after the hood on the 300 again. Have already tried to install the hinge on the pivot then engage the torsion bar afterward. No way. So this time I tried hooking the torsion bar into the hinge plate...

    The 300 is (Finally) Here

    The truck arrived yesterday mid-morning. Had to meet him a couple miles away because he couldn't get up my driveway due to trees and such. There's a much longer story here as I ended up having to go directly to a trucking company instead of using a broker (should've done this first, not last)...

    1966 Broadcast Sheet Decoding Help Needed

    There have been a few questions recently about build codes, fender tags and so on. I've tried to follow along and figure out what is what, but since I don't yet have a fender tag to check, the only source of info for my car is the broadcast sheet, which the seller photographed for me. I am...

    How I Spent My Summer Vacation

    All five days of it! The good wife released me briefly for good behavior to travel north. Visited friends and family and caught up on a few things. The vacation was primarily automotive but not Chrysler-related (still waiting on the 300 - discovered that 'Date Requested' and 'Date Shipped'...

    Question of the Day: Transport Brokers - Great Service or Disaster Waiting to Happen?

    Well....I *thought* I had everything set to book my 300 shipment yesterday. This is the first time I'll be paying a company to transport a vehicle for me. So yes - I'm more or less clueless. Had a company give me a bid last week, said if I could get the seller to deliver it next to I-5 so...

    383 vs 413

    Okay, I'm trying really hard not to make a pest of myself so early on with post after post. But! Something interesting happened today and I need yet more direction. It all started when hotdog pointed me to an online download of the service manual. Cool, now I'm dangerous. Was just looking...

    '66 Chrysler Heater/AC box question & fuel sender location

    Back for Round 2. Since my 300 has a leaky heater core and A/C is currently disconnected, thought I'd look for a drop in replacement with good cores, with the long term plan to rebuild the original over the winter. Think I found one but wanted to double check the fit. Are all boxes...

    Newb with '66 Chrysler 300 Questions

    Howdy - new to the group, my first post. Have read for a while as a non-member but at this point, my knowledge would fit on the head of a pin. I'm a soon-to-be new owner of a 1966 Chrysler 300 2 dr with a few issues. It won't be here until after August 6th, so I can't actually check or do...
