Re: [Chrysler300] dual point distributor

["Rick Ehrmann" <tc440@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, club members,  for all your help with my distributor problem. Now
that I have to replace the mufflers, what have you guys and gals chosen? I
like a loud, but not too loud, deep sound. I've used Walker Super Turbo Hemi
mufflers with good results on my 68 300. The now blown out K mufflers were
too quiet. Any special picks?
