RE: [Chrysler300] Motor dying on right hand turn

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Tim:

 

I believe the '55 C-300 had a similar problem in hard left turns-which must
have been resolved on the NASCAR & AAA tracks.  I've heard there was a TSB
on the fix which MIGHT have been raising the float levels.  My C-300 does
not have that fix and will stall a little in 90-degree turns to the left
only.  I'm a little resistant to left turns myself.

 

There being three elements of combustion, air, fuel & ignition-I'd expect a
fuel problem as being most likely.  However, there is a little wire inside
the distributor connecting the dual points and I did experience an
intermittent problem that was resolved by tightening the connections on this
connector.  Much easier with the distributor up front.

Folks,
I flushed the e-mail and thus the name of the fellow wanting help diagnosing
the problem he was having of his Chrysler dying (or at least nearly dying)
on a hard right turn into a driveway, etc. Thus the shotgun approach.
I talked to an old Chrysler mechanic friend yesterday, and he had an
immediate answer. It may not be the case, but in the day when these cars
were nearly new, there was a similar problem of some rarity. The ignition
coil would have low oil levels, and that would "slop" to the left when
turning into a driveway, etc to the right. 
I would suggest, based on that comment, a swap of a known good coil and see
if it makes a difference.
