Re: {Chrysler 300} Ram Air Cleaner conversation

Hi Carl

Thanks again for all the info!

I did stop at our local Napa and the 11528 gaskets are showing as obsolete, unfortunately. The counter guys are older and pretty savvy (especially the owner) but they couldn’t come up with a substitute.

Maybe someone in the club knows of a sub that would work? I know they aren’t a required part in terms of running a car but they would be a “nice to have” item.

Hi Keith,

The J came with either red cleaners or gold. A lot of the surviving Js have red, but that is anecdotal. There are no codes on the build cards for the color of the cleaners. We are also aware of a few Js that had red cleaners with gold bases. Or vice versa. Perhaps an issue of what was available in the parts bin on the assembly line?

On the ram K it seems that most of the cleaners are gold.

Some of both years have chrome cleaners. We do not have evidence that chrome cleaners were offered by the factory for J or ramK. Perhaps they were a dealer accessory item.

I used Felpro 11528 for the air cleaner gaskets.

Great discussion on this!

I was wondering what the correct color would be for the air cleaners on the J/K ram carbs as that’s what will be going on the 413 that Dominick Rinaldi has built for our 4 speed K and it appears the answer is red. Red is the color on the cleaners I got with the short rams and 3505s AFBs that I bought some years ago (and which Jim McGowan recently restored) but I was not sure if they should be gold so now I know the answer!

Dumb question: does anyone have a part # for the skinny round 4.5” gasket that goes between the carb and the base of the air cleaner or is that just a simple match up at Napa?

Thanks,

Keith

My 61 Savoy Sono Ramic uses F air cleaners. I understand why the Specials used the larger filters and better breathing as I did runs with stock cleaners and no cleaners - their was a considerable difference. The stock F cleaners are quite restrictive.

Nick and group,

I took photos of Ziegler’s 300F when it came up for auction in Monterey in 2010. Attached are some of the shots I got that day. Air cleaners were chrome.
