Re: [Chrysler300] 300G misfiring





Pardon me if I am restating something already said by someone else. I have not been keeping up with the discussion. Back in the early 1970s, I was lucky enough to have a 1969 Dodge Dart GTS with a factory installed 383. It suddenly developed a misfire that was inconsistent. A good friend Dodge mechanic determined the bank of cylinders where the misfire was coming from by placing his hand at each tailpipe and feeling for a “puff”. Determined it was on the left (driver’s) side. Then he pulled all the ignition wires out of the distributor cap for that cylinder bank  just enough to be pulled completely out using an insulated puller. With the engine idling, pulled then replaced 1 wire at a time. The cylinder showing no change in idle performance was the bad cylinder. After all the usual suspects were checked, turns out I had a burnt exhaust valve in #1 cylinder. Heads pulled and milled and valves done. Ran better than ever.

Years ago I was having fits with my 300F misfiring on acceleration.  Accidentally, I discovered that one of the wires in the distributor had the covering worn off to bare wire.  When the distributor advanced, the bare wire grounded out.  Replaced the wire and no more misfiring.
