Re: [Chrysler300] Carter carb identification query

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The more positive caster you run the straighter the car will go. If you 
can put it around 3 to 4 Degrees Positive would be great. It will turn a 
little harder, but with full time power steering you won't even feel it. 
keep caster and toe-in at factory specs.
The 3258s carb. is off of a 1962 Chrysler 413 cu.in. front carb. the 
3259s is the rear. I run them on my 63 426 cu .in. and they work 
great.with a little bigger jets.
