    62 Newport 14" steel rims and poverty hubcap ?

    Best bet, contact Murray Park, Tiffin Ohio. He will have everything you are looking for. Great guy, just very, very busy.

    NOT MINE 1962 Chrysler 300H 2dr Hardtop, A/C, 83K miles - $35,000 - Fredericksburg, VA

    Very reasonable driver for sure. Anyone would be proud of this one.

    Additive to fix Torqeflite shudder?

    My two cents worth: Disconnect the driveshaft from the trans. Spin up to the trouble spot to eliminate shaft, drums etc. Spending 40 years of dyno testing, a lifetime of working on cars/trucks, tracking down vibration can be a challenge. Doesn't take much to trip a vibration with all that heavy...

    Same old question: Tranny fluid?

    My 2 c worth: My dad was a long time old TQ flite rebuilding guy. He used Type F as it has higher coefficient of friction versus Dexron II, III, IV etc. Gives firmer shifts. Only for full fluid replacement though. I learned to NOT use full synthetic ATF in older manual transmissions ( the hard...

    Timing or Fuel issue?

    My 300L 4spd came with an Edelbrock carb and it ran pretty poorly at highway speeds. Carb was way too lean. Got an original AFB and she ran so much better. Many of those new AFB/AVS carbs are calibrated for economy.

    Factory 1963 300J 4-speed

    No they are not. The 84 is for the 300 K only.

    Languishing 300 Letter cars.

    Having grown up (debatable to many) around the Letter Series 300's and now retired, I can appreciate the thoughts on restoring these cars. Having a rough 57 C that has been in the family since new, a J that has been since 1970 and a 4 speed L since 2000, restoring these is not for the weak...

    Is this 1963 brake booster rebuild kit correct for my 300?

    Definitely not for my 63 300! The J and 64 Ram K are totally weird!!

    1965 Fury I police car

    My dad picked up a 67 Fury III 2dr sedan Alabama State Police "interceptor" 30 plus years ago. 440 Commando, 15"wheels, disc brakes, 2.93:1 axle, bench seat. Slow off the line but once rolling , oh boy! No idea where that one ended up.

    Carter Carb 3855 vs 3856

    AFB (Aluminum Four Barrel) all had mechanical secondaries. AVS (Air Velocity/Valve Secondaries) same mechanical secondaries. Just had the weighted "air valve" above secondary throttle plates. Same idea the ThermoQuads had with the spring loaded plate. All to allow when the larger secondaries...

    So not quite the "forward look" but not slab sided years!

    Oh, I wish ! The J and assuming Ram K was just that much more "special"! (as in did not follow any standards convention) My J has orange wires currently as that was the only option back in the day. Dad (and the 300 Club) beat into me "as it left the factory" ... I paint the darn oil filters to...

    So not quite the "forward look" but not slab sided years!

    Took a look at both. More into really early stuff. But thanks for the info!

    So not quite the "forward look" but not slab sided years!

    Definitely way to early style cloth covered wire but appreciate the looking. Pretty much what I've found as well.

    So not quite the "forward look" but not slab sided years!

    Always a good thing! Sooo, did a bit of digging and appears Lectric does make the correct wires. Same brownish wire that the Max Wedge cars use, different lengths of course. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $950 a set from the info I found Gulp. Might just need to call them direct and see if...

    So not quite the "forward look" but not slab sided years!

    Yeah, thanks. Long time affiliated with the club (Dad was president for years and years and I was an engine judge back in the day) Definitely not black with the orange-ish boots like all the others, as original. The63/64 Ram cars were unique if not weird lol.

    WANTED 1962 Chrysler Fender trim

    Have you tried Murray Park in Tiffin Ohio?
  17. 300George

    So not quite the "forward look" but not slab sided years!

    I have a 63 300 J. The original plug wires for these were pretty much "brown" similar to the Max Wedge cars. Not orange like seems to be the common option. Wires on her have to be 40 plus years old! (as a guess) and orange. Any ideas on where I can find the "brown-ish" wire in bulk as the 426...

    What describes a 300

    Having grown up with a 57 300 C (still have it) And a 300 J from me being 10 years old (still have it too) And 20 year ownership of a 300 L 4 speed, The J is the most finicky but a real terror. The C is smooth power. Slow off the line but sure gets rolling at 40 mph. The L is a great cruiser...
