Chrysler has often done strange things in production. Club member Jerry Kocur has a K conv that he bought new that came with the large air cleaner. In concurs events he has been dinged for this but insists that's the way the car was equipped originally. Dealers have also been known to swap items in new car inventory so who really knows. I have the small air cleaner which is in fair but original condition. The decal with filter instructions is peeling but still readable and complete. If you or anyone reading this e-mail would like to bid on it please reply to me only.(I do not do E-Bay but realize there is some value within our 300 club.)

When I was a freshman at the Ohio State University, I drove a '70 Sport Fury GT (distant cousin to the Hurst 300). I had trouble with the hidden headlight motor not closing all the way. My local parts guy sold me a "repair kit" for the nylon gear and the cam that actuates the limit contacts that keep the doors from opening or closing to far. Although I don't have any of these parts, I wanted to chime in with some part numbers for you that might help in your search. The following is straight from my '70 '71 parts book: Code 8-34-278 Gear and Gasket Package '70 Chrysler Imperial and Dodge 3420922, Plymouth 3420910 Code 8-34-280 Motor, Rotating Headlamp '70 Chrysler Imperial and Dodge 3431438, Plymouth 3431437 I'm not sure why Plymouth is different from Chrysler, Imperial and Dodge, but that's what the parts book reports. Back then, in my case the little cam had worn enough that the motor would continue to operate after the doors were all the way open. This caused excessive wear on the nylon gear that opens and closes the headlights. The motor itself was OK, just the fact the the worm gear coming out of the motor had damaged the nylon gear that opens and closes the headlights. I hope this helps! BTW, I no longer have this car, but would love to find another one. Any leads from the group on '70 or '71 Sport Fury GTs or S-23s would be appreciated. Thanks everybody and Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

Thanks to Thomas Miller I did a part number search and found the following vendors who have these parts. I have no personal interest in any of these vendors. I also do not know if the count listed is accurate and most of all if this is the same correct part number after 32 years. Sometimes old part numbers were superceded with a new part number. You could also try your local Chrysler dealer. Good Luck, Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to you and all of you out there in 300 Land.

Gasoline does lose its thing after a certain time(hence gasoline preservatives). This could cause an engine not in top tune to fail to start. My suspicion still is that the motor is flooded(plugs fouled with carbon,oil or gas) if all else checks out(spark at plugs and fuel at carb). ----- Original Message ----- From: obiwan10 To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; Iamonesurfer@xxxxxxx ; Warren R Anderson Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Car does not want to start Pull a couple of plugs to see if they are fouled. They could have been all fouled if you previously had started the car and not let it warm up enough to open the choke thereby cleaning the plugs off. If you shut it down before the plugs had cleaned up you could merely have a bunch of gas fouled plugs and the engine may be very difficult to start if at all until they are cleaned. If you are getting fuel(again by looking into the carb(s) while hitting the pedal, spark by holding a wire a 1/2 inch from a plug or ground while cranking, the distributor rotor is turning while cranking(kinda rules out a broken timing chain), distributor is tightened down(rules out slipped ignition timing problem) properly, make sure dist cap not cracked and rotor is ok, wires have been known to break within distributor also, then car should start easily unless plugs are badly fouled. Low compression almost will never cause a engine to not start unless plugs are fouling because of bad piston rings and even then should start as unlikely that rings will foul all cylinder plugs. Car if ignition, timing and fuel are present could start and run on 5 or 6 cylinders. Trying running a wired directly from your battery positive to coil positive to rule out ignition switch or ballast problems. Do not run long like this as you will burn points.

But, the thing will not keep a car from starting. The symptom for a bad ballast resistor will be start but no run when key is returned to run position. In any case, would suggest checking voltage at coil positive terminal with engine cranking. Voltage should be very close to battery voltage with engine cranking. If it much lower there is voltage drop. This will be some where in the wiring or connections or ignition switch. Ballast resistor is bypassed at the ignition switch to provide battery voltage to coil at start only. Voltage to coil is then dropped through ballast resistor when engine is running. It is Christmas so, as a gift to all, I will spare you the details of my first encounter with this item which was very similar to the currently described problem. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Warren Anderson Sedona,AZ (cold, snowy no. AZ) Yahoo!
