Decided to pull the trigger on a Progression Ignition distributor. I really like the idea of being able to "lock" the ignition and also have the RPM, Speedometer and Vacuum readouts right on my phone. I did have to grind down about a 1/4" off the cylinder head for it to drop in without...

Hey folks, looking to learn a bit about what others have been doing for a quality oil pressure switch. I replaced it at the beginning of the season and at some point over the last few weeks it stopped closing, keeping the light off at all times. This was a Standard Motor Product switch. I...

Hoping some of you folks could point me in a good direction on how to fix a big tear in the rear inner wheel well and trunk floor on my '68 300 Convertible. Looks like a blowout maybe caused the damage. Pictures attached show the splits in the passenger side rear wheel well. How would you go...

Went to pop the trunk yesterday and it got "stuck". Wouldn't open more than a foot or so. It looks like one of the torsion bars that holds the deck lid open popped out of place. Upon further inspection it seems like there may be a piece missing that I wasn't aware of; a roller. On the...

Looking for input on having a convertible top installed. I don't want to do it myself as I won't enjoy the job so I won't have the patience to do it right. I ordered a Robbins top when they were having their 25% off sale and am waiting for it to be shipped. I stopped by a top shop and they...

Working on my 1968 300. I found a few threads on the topic but I did not have luck getting this resolved. Hoping to get additional insight before I buy another gear. When I got the car the speedometer was around 6 MPH off; showed 50 on Speedo, GPS says 44. This was pretty consistent at all...

I just read through a great post by @HWYCRZR on how to align at home, very helpful and informative! I would like to get a little clarification from those who have done it before I press new bushings in my Upper Control Arm. Working on the drivers side, the bushings I removed were of the offset...

Fellow DIY members, what would you do if you needed new exhaust and mufflers? Trying to decide if I should get a kit and give it a go or if I should take it somewhere. I've never done it. I do have access to a friend with a lift and a welder. Thanks! If it helps, 1968 300 with 440 and...

Looking for some input from those who have done it. I ordered a set of Clevite 77 MS-2233HG bearings and according to 440Source these fit any year RB block. When I compare these to the main bearings I removed, these are more narrow. I read that narrow bearings are often used with aftermarket...

Hey folks, waiting for parts to get the motor back together so I decided to tackle the pinion seal leak. I have the 742 case and a few things I need clarity on. For the 742 case, is it true it should have a solid spacer with shims for the pinion and as such I should be able to replace the...

Howdy all, hope you're having a great month! I am planning to replace the tires on my '68 300, currently running 225/75R15 at all four corners on stock rims (maybe not stock at 15" but they have the Chrysler cover I want to keep). I would like to keep the same rims and go with wider tires like...

Wanted to share details of how I fixed my belt squeal on my '68 300 440. The squeak started when I decided to replace the crank pulley which was pretty bent and had a lot of wobble. It was also a three valley pulley which didn't make sense being a Non-AC car so I decided to replace it with a...

Looking for some help to troubleshoot a potential issue. 1968 Chrysler 300 440 with mechanical pump, clear plastic fuel filter. New tank and sending unit. Edelbrock 1406 Carb. When the car is started cold, the fuel filter fills up 80-90% with fuel and the car fires up almost immediately...

Fellow enthusiasts, looking for input from those who have done it before. I have been driving my 300 for probably a hundred or so miles now, just local back road running. I am very happy how well it runs and very surprised how much gas it burns cause I can't stay out of the secondaries! What...

Any fellow members in the local South Jersey Tri-State area that would recommend a shop to install a new convertible top on my 1968 300? South Jersey, Delaware, Philly Area would be ideal but for the right shop I would be willing to travel further. Thanks for your input and advice! :thumbsup:

As I continue down the path of rejuvenating my '68 300 I have a couple head scratchers I could use some help with. Does anyone have a picture or diagram of where the "Starter and Ignition Switch Lamp" mounts in the dash? It was dangling when I bought the car but it does work (if I ground it)...

I have the engine bay wiring mostly buttoned up and to finish testing everything I need to move under the dash so I pulled the cluster out yesterday. First task. The fuel gauge. I know the sender had been replaced recently (and I know someone tried or did jack the car up by the gas tank...

Happy Friday folks! Looking to fix the wobble in my crankshaft pulley. And since it looks like the wrong pulley I thought I would replace it instead of repair it. Seemed easy enough until I started researching pulleys. As you can see the pulley has three grooves but my car only needs two...

Hello restoration experts! Any thoughts or suggestions on how to repair this cornering light housing? I am searching for a replacement but if I can't find one I would like some ideas on how to repair what I have. You can see in the picture, when I removed the badly rusted light socket, part...

Pulled the engine and front end lighting harness out of my '68 300. Every wire in the car seems to have been cut and taped back together. Luckily no evidence of a fire but it looked like a real possibility. The firewall connectors look good so that will be reused after being cleaned up...
