Re: [Chrysler300] Need help to confirm ram manifold part numbers

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi All:
The engineering change to carb return spring brackets from the "pins" was  
actually added to the ram manifold drawing in late 1959.  The drawings show  no 
"pin" or hole for one---just a change letter referencing their removal.   This 
was a co-ordinated change, so the brackets would have had to be available  to 
the plants before the rams could be modified with the pin removal.   
Evidently, this took some time, and it wasn't until late in the model year that  the 
brackets were apparently available.  It would appear, though, that the  
brackets were used as soon as they became available (understandably), and the  rams 
with the pins were simply used up.  Since there are so few original  cars with 
original rams left, the exact timing is uncertain.  However, our  Club 
reference car---that 300F owned by member Steve Albu---has BOTH the  brackets and the 
pins.  It was scheduled for build in mid March.  It  even has the little 
cylindrical cardboard paint masks still on the pins!!
Just some additional info for those interested.

The  casting numbers were the same on the rams I checked. It appears that 
Chrysler  just ground the pin off, as the boss is still there.
