Re: [Chrysler300] dual point distributor

["Don Verity" <d.verity@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick,
  You can make the lead and attach it with a rivet. The breaker plate will
have to be removed to do this. I suspect something else like one set of
points closing or fouling causes the back fire. I can rebuild distributors
and set them up on my distributor machine if you need yours set up.
300ly,
    Don

> Happy Fourth everyone! Mine was really nice, until the ride home. My kids
and I were in the parade with the K in Takoma Park, Md. We got through that
fine. But on the way home the car started to run rough and made a loud
backfire that blew out and bent both mufflers. I flat bedded the car home. I
took off the distributor cap and found the problem. The ground wire (is this
the primary lead?) that runs from a rivet in the breaker plate to the
condensor mounting screw was broken off.

point distributor. My 64 parts book lists the whole replacement assembly as
2444 363, but does not list a part number for the broken wire (lead). Does
anyone know what this part number is or where I can get this lead?
