Re: [Chrysler300] part number needed while travelling

[Edward Mills Antique Tractors <millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If dealer is going out of business, those old parts will be difficult to 
unload - and he probably wrote them off the books long ago - I have 
heard of old tractor dealers selling off complete "lots" of such 
obsolete parts at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar (and thats pre-70's 
dollars) - any idea what is there and what it would take to buy the 
"lot" - I'd hate to see them melted into scrap iron to come back to us 
in Chinese cars.

As to parts numbers - Pulley 2240397; Bracket 2951020; shield (fits 
between pulley and bracket - looks kind of like a spacer in schematic) 
2658758 - Part numbers same for pulley & shield for 318 up to 440. 
Bracket unique to 383/440

As an aside, the same p/n section shows a spacer that varies with 
alternator - Leece-Neville alt shows different spacer - it does not show 
up on diagram - not sure why in this section as I thought belt that runs 
thru this idler was water pump only
