I am in the process of getting my 300 ready to sell and the speedometer quit working. When I last worked on it a couple of years ago I purchased a new cable because the original cable was making noise and made the speed jumpy. I did a fair amount of research but still ended up with a cable that...

I'm sure this has been argued many times but I tried finding more information about general opinions and failed to. When is a car no longer original? Many folks have bits and pieces restored on their vehicles and I imagine it can get to a point where their "original survivor" is really a...

Any good cure (DIY of course) for these sun visors? They stay up great. And then I start the car and move it :D. Then they just flop down. I've had them sort of apart but didn't see a decent way to fix them. Thanks

Can someone tell me the correct paint for the trunk of a 300 convertible please? I had a few rusty looking spots and investigated them. It appears as if the factory pretty much poured paint into the trunk and where it settled and dried was where the rust stains appeared. I took a cup wheel brush...

How difficult is it to get the dowel pin out of the steering shaft? I hammered on mine for a little while and then thought to use the WWW. I didn't find much so here I am. Some info said use a press and I don't own one (yet). I have a kit with all new parts so destroying the pin isn't a problem...

National Oil Seal 7188S: Advance Auto Parts After spending far too long trying to get this number I figured it might help someone else out one day. All I needed was the seal for the input shaft so I finally found is after removing mine and measuring etc.

I know I've been piling on here with all the problems I'm chasing. Last evening I found another. The power steering gear has been leaking for a long time but I haven't been able to see where the leak was coming from until last evening because the leak was so small. I got under the car and I can...

My gas pedal has never had a good feel. I have messed with springs and it still feels bad. It is more difficult to depress than I'd like. The main issue is that the transition from idle (no foot presure) to light throttle is difficult to do smoothly. It takes an amount of pressure that causes...

Yup. That's what I did today. The tires on my car are nearly new from a tread wear standpoint. Unfortunately they have been sitting still much too long and the whitewalls had somehow become very yellow to almost a light brown. I tried all the usual whitening agents but nothing helped so I broke...

I changed the mufflers on my car but I am now looking at possibly changing a few other pipes as well. Is there a good reason to use an H or X pipe? When I stand behind the car when it is idling the new Dynomax mufflers sound nice BUT sound a little like a cabin cruiser with a V8. I wonder if an...

Today I decided to check my spark plugs. I had them changed many years ago but drove the car so little that I didn't see much need to check them. I've made a few changes on the car and thought it would be good to see how they look. Anyone with a 440 knows the 7 & 8 plugs are no joy to access...

I need to replace the mufflers on my 1970 300. I had them replaced maybe 400 miles ago but I then blew them up by doing a bad job installing a distributor. I can't find the brand of these mufflers but they sound really good and I'd like a similar sound. They are basic looking mufflers but gave a...

My 1970 300 speedometer stopped working years ago. Being driven about 50 miles a year it wasn't a big concern. Now I plan on driving it much more so I replaced the cable which was broken at the cluster connector. The cable wouldn't clip into the speedometer so I thought replacing it had to be...

The reman PS pump on my 70 300 is making a lot of noise. It makes a slight wining when going straight but when steering right or left it really makes a racket. In addition to this noise, which I've had before in this car and others, the fluid is milky as if it's been aerated AND the steering...

This is awful to admit but my steering column isn't straight and I never noticed it before. I dropped the column down to remove the instrument cluster and put it all back together, finally, about a week ago. Today was the first chance I had to actually sit in the car and I noticed that the...

I removed the radio from my 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible about 5 years ago. I replaced it with a modern unit that accepted digital inputs etc. I have the cluster out (still) and the wife want the OE radio put back in. I can't find it but I'm sure I will right after I solve the whole dilemma and...

Anyone know a source or part number? My instrument cluster is out so I'm thinking of adding a clock. Thanks

The bumpers on mine are pretty ugly. The chrome has gotten super thin and they take away from the car big time. Do I look for a rechroming service? I can't remember the guys that used to go to most of the Mopar shows. I got bumpers from them years ago for a T/A I had and they were great. I don't...
