[Chrysler300] RE: Carter ceramic filters AVAILABLE.

["Gary Nelson" <gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All
Back in May there was topic about the inability to find Carter Ceramic fuel
filter elements. Years back I had located a couple of hundred old stock and
sold out early this year. As I sell parts to Mopar collectors I went out on
a search. Whala! I located a small lot. These are old stock mfg. by Federal
Mogul off the Carter tooling. FM bought Carter years ago. They are identical
to the NOS I have that are packed in Mopar boxes. With this stock I can
reduce the price from $26 to $19. I also have new springs that push the
filter to the seal, $4.50 ea.

If you want my updated parts list, send e-mail I will send back to you.

Thank you,
Gary, the parts doc

  To make matters Worse, Autolite had different sized glass bowls, some
  sort of shallow, more like the ones I have seen on mopars, And DEEPER
  ones, different bowl, filter and clamp, SAME TOP!!!
