Re: [Chrysler300] 300 c carburetor modifactions

[c300c@xxxxxxx]

Vince,
 
How do you know your carbs haven't already been updated? I have owned many  
300-Cs and the modifications had all been made.  There was a carb  modification 
kit in 1957 that dealers used to cure 'stumbling on turns'  complaints in the 
early carbs.
 
If your 300-C is later production, I would venture to say the mods have  
already been made, especially if you have no 'stumbling on turns'.

I would  like to try the modifications described in the Chrysler TECHNICAL 
BULLETIN  #364 (or 384) dated 7/18/57.  The change involves installing (4) 
metering  rods #75-1160. Does anyone know a source?  Or can anyone tell me the  
diameter of the rod at high speed (small diameter) and low speed (large  
diameter). Is there a cross reference chart available that shows chrysler  numbers vs 
carter numbers on the metering rods. Does anyone have any info how  this 
change worked in their car, especially regarding idle?  I think I  read somewhere 
that this change was incorporated into carburetors for  1958.  Anyone have any 
advice?  I have the motor on a running stand  in the garage and will happily 
post results if I can get enough parts and info  to try it. If the change is 
already in the 58 carbs, I could trade my spare 57  carbs.  Vince in tampa bay
