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?
