Re: [Chrysler300] Part Number Confusion

["Kelly Pierce" <jkrestor300@xxxx>]

Greetings Group and Pete-
My experience with 99% of Chrysler parts has been numbers cast into a
part RARELY are the same as the factory part number, many times they are
very close but not the same. The numbers cast in generally are just a
casting number (such as on cylinder heads, intake and exhaust manifolds), I
have never seen any explanation as to why they are not the same numbers. My
nickels worth......
