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

["KELLY PIERCE" <jkrestor300@xxxx>]

Tim and Group-
I find this very interesting- All my single four carbs on my K's have the
external choke pull offs, and have the correct carb number for the single
carb K engine. I'll throw this out to those in the know- Were there correct
number carbs built and shipped on K's with both styles of choke pull offs?
And food for thought- My K's run from early in the model year to very late.
