Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Oil & Temp Gauge Abnormalities

You could get the 413 with 2 - 4bbl carbs (inline) in the Sport (300H engine / trans). When you ticked that option on your order, you would also get 150 mph speedo, 3.23 rear axle, heavy duty suspension, 15" wheels and 300H wheel covers all factory installed. The only real difference between a Letter car and a Sport was the interior. Mine, which is as described above, has front black leather bucket seats and bench seat in the back.

Don't mean to belabor the issue, but what constitutes the "H Running Gear Package" on the 300 Sport ? Always curious about the options back in the day.

Thanks,

Sport models, when ordered from the factory with the H running gear, had the 150mph speedo. Otherwise the Sport came with q 120 mph speedo.

Sports had a 150 mph speedometer ? Am I wrong ? Just wondering.

Attached are a pair of pictures from today when driving our '62 300 Sport.
Here's some history....

- Wife bought the car back in 1987

- We had JC Auto restore the Astrodome back in the 90's

- I cracked the 413 block back in the early 2000's (sitting in LA traffic, of course)

- We then let the car sit for 8 or so years

- Now its on the road & everything under the hood is new; but as a 383 versus a 413

- The Oil & Temp gauges are running on their HIGH side since we brought the car back to life

- I have new sending units feeding both gauges (yes they are new & aftermarket, but both cannot be sending high signals; right?)

I suspect the issue is the gauges themselves.

Maybe I pull them & send them to JC Auto.

Can the car still be used if I pull those two out?

When the temp is as pegged as it is.....

My laser temp sensor pointed at the radiator, its hoses, etc. reads between 180 & 190 degrees.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
