The figure of 21 FI 300Ds was derived from counting the number of cars on the microfilm which were coded for the electronic FI. 
On another point, the reference to vacuum tubes sort of implys that the EFI units used them.  Of course, they did NOT.  All electronics in the FI system were solid state.   Gil C.

Hi,

First changes:

300-E- Leather sentences now reads:
The big news for the 300 E was the introduction of the new “Golden Lion” V8 that replaced the tried and true Hemi.
Inside the car, swivel front seats were standard, finished in ”Living Breathable Leather” upholstery that was perforated with fine holes and embossed in a basket weave pattern. 

300-D- Re FI now reads.

The carbureted engine received the 3-speed automatic and two 300-Ds are known to have had manual transmissions, while fuel injected cars all received a 3-speed automatic transmissions. 
Available for the first time for Chrysler Corporation cars, was electronic fuel injection, which added another 10 horses to the base motor. This system proved unreliable however, and most of the 35 cars that Chrysler Corporation built across all its models that were produced with it were recalled and fitted with carburetors. Performance was still world class, demonstrated when a 300 D was driven to a new Class E record of 156.387 at the Bonneville Salt Flats, and at Daytona, one was driven to an et of 16 seconds with a 94mph trap speed. But production was down, and the Hemi would disappear. The carbureted engine received the 3-speed automatic, while fuel injected cars received a 3-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, electronic fuel injection wasn’t a great idea in an era when vacuum tubes still ruled the electronics world, and most of the 21 or so 300-D cars equipped with the Bendix system were recalled and retrofitted with dual four-barrel carburetors.

Andy Mikonis quotes an article by G. Moon in 1988 that says there were 21 fuel injected Ds.

Please advise if this gets it right?
