Re: [Chrysler300] fuel pump

When you say you checked the filter I will assume you are referring to the 
ceramic at carb. Often over looked is the so called "sock" filter on the 
end of the fuel pick up tube in the gas tank. It is a fine mesh and will 
plug solid and starve out the best pump. Anyone who does not know the 
condition of that filter should consider changing it.
In stock, $10 while they last. Also new seal rings for the sender when 
replaced, $3.

On another subject I spoke w/ club member Rob in Oklahoma today. He is 
wrapping up his C that sounds to be very nice except for the PS pump he 
needs rebuilt. He brought up the subject how nice my hub cap mask set 
finished off his restored caps.
Point is it reminded me I have limited supply and any one w/ a C or D may 
want to snag a set while stock lasts. I made them for my C and spent many 
hours to reverse engineer in Auto Cad all the little windows and then have 
them computer plot cut to perfection if I so myself. $60 set of 4 + 
shipping. For those who may be interested go to my forever unfinished web 
site www.glnelson.com and click on 57/58 300 to view 14 photos that shows 
how it is applied and final results.
Kit comes with complete instructions and the rub down stick used in photos. 
You will also see my special little 1923 "T", 392 Hemi powered Roadster 
that I started building before I had a drivers license in 1957. Now, not 
many can say they owned the same car for that long. Registered it for the 
past 9 years since I live in Reno/Tahoe. Coming up in just over a week. Did 
I over spend my nickel?
