Re: [Chrysler300] Fuel & Carburation on the 59E

["Tim Tomlinson" <tomlin@xxxx>]

Don and others,
1. I, too, am not overly familiar with the 59 300-E carb, but the AFB's on
my 64 300-K's also have a piston pull off that is in the aluminum casting.
In rebuilding mine, starting in about '90, I found the gaskets furnished
with the rebuild kits do NOT have a hole that allows vacuum to get into the
piston bore to pull off the choke!
2. I learned this the hard way, with some lesser but similar symptoms, and
now use a leather punch to make an appropriate hole. No longer have
problems. Suspect one day to forget to punch the hole tho and be back to
having it until I disassemble and correct the lack of such hole.
3. I have a carb from a 64 New Yorker--and it was equipped with the
external choke pull off--and the gaskets seem to be designed for that
version. I run the New Yorker carb most times on one of my 300-K's and seem
to get a little better driveability in the spring and summer here in IL.
4. Would definitely like to know the final analysis of the problem--each
piece of info always helps and often applies to other models/years.
