    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    A little positive today: the VCs were easily removed, no stuck bolt! I was just unlucky the last time I guess! I have 2 new questions: 1) I have to find new gaskets obviously, I was told that it's better to buy reinforced fiber gaskets rather than the "old school" cork gaskets...first, is it...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Nice, thanks to you two! My first and only experience with VCs was bad so I assumed the probability that it would be the same as the 2nd So I'm going to try! I have seen several "horror stories" on the net about VCs still leaking even after being replaced (it's like illnesses, I should stop...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Hi there! Spring is well established even here in Quebec, it's time to bring the beast out of its hibernation! Obviously the trouble continue to accumulate and I don't know when I'll finally be able to really hit the road with this damn car on a regular basis... I very much regret having...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Hi guys sorry for the delay! A lot has happened since the last time! I had to send my booster in a shop in Ontario (John Stuart Brake Boosters) for a rebuild (500$), I bought a brand new battery, 4 brand new 235/75R15 Firestone tires that I installed on 15x7 wheels with dog dish hubcaps, I...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Hi guys sorry for this long absence!! I'm a classic cars appraiser and it's the rush from May to July I get paid to drive my car and see lots of beautiful cars, so I can't complain, but it's true that I have little free time these days Here's the latest news: the car went to the garage as...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Good news guys! The car is running! I finally received the new fuel pump, installed it (what a pain with the pushrod which falls back and blocks the lever of the pump) and the car started easily... The carb is needing a good adjustement (but my mechanics will install a new Holley carb next...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Thanks for you advice! :) In fact it doesn't really go according to my plans, I had planned a certain budget so that the car goes to the garage directly after the purchase so that my mechanic takes care of restarting it in the best conditions But with the pandemic it is closed so I have to take...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Okay guys here are some news... I ended up receiving the correct sending unit...it's really identical to the OEM so it should be good! :) It arrives exactly in its place in the bottom of the tank I made myself a small gift: a brand new 20gal air compressor...very useful for cleaning fuel...

    Hehe it's true that I have nothing to lose trying :) However, I can't find any trace of this company on the net, I think it no longer exists :(

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Ahahaha epic :rofl: Too bad :( But at least it looks old :p Thanks for the info! Fina was an european oil company (like Total, Shell or Esso), I didn't know they produced tires Yes I have the receipt but it mentions that the warranty is applicable only for the buyer (first owner of the...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    While I'm at it, I could post some pictures that I had in reserve! :) The location on the block where the engine number should be engraved...nothing there, proof that it's an engine replaced under warranty by Chrysler Higher on the block is the date, 1973...proof that the dealers didn't always...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    I know that there are a lot of C-bodies on Kijiji and others (Facebook marketplace especially) but I hardly ever see a 2-door 69-71 300 :( The grommet was dry cracked, they ordered a new one with the tank ($16 CAD) :) For the filler neck it wasn't rusty outside I don't know why they...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    The last news! I got my brand new tank and the sending unit It hurts the wallet ($625 US) but at least I'm okay for a long time! I carefully checked the sending unit, the manufacturing quality doesn't seem as good as the OEM part: the float and sock are made of cheap plastic, the gauge...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    I contacted him again, he told me that the part comes from a '67 B-body, so I really doubt it fits on my car, but he tells yes, because the bolt-pattern between the 4 studs (those crossing the firewall) is good (4-1/8 x 3-1/4) However the main rod could really be longer or shorter since it comes...

    Wow! :o I didn't think they sold Mopars new in Europe between mid-60s and mid-80s They must have been particularly rare!

    Ahah awesome! :p I didn't think there were big old Chryslers in UK, even less in 80s!! :eek: Yes my DS has the directional headlights :p ;) Your 300 is beautiful, do you still have it?

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    A guy not too far from me offers me a rebuild brake booster It's not identical to mine in appearance... But he tells me that it will fit (my car is a 69 power brake with front drums), someone could confirm it to me? Sorry for all the questions I did some research on the net but hard to find...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Unfortunately this is what I also think: if holes are already present before I even touch it, I'm afraid that after cleaning it'll be unrecognizable... Obviously I'll see what they say, but I prepare for the worst :/ However I just remembered something: years ago I was delivery man for a little...

    Finally got my dream car : 2-dr 300!

    Okay guys so I've made some progress on the 300 The tank is removed, it took me about 30mn it was quite easy since the bolts were in perfect condition :) However the tank itself is in a terrible condition... The car was probably stored with the tank almost empty or I don't know, but the...
