Re: Re[2]: {Chrysler 300} 1960-61 Crossram Dash Pot Replacements Heads U

My question is how critical is this component in normal engine operation? If so many are damaged either from age or "user error" in adjustment, which I think is true, then there must be plenty of crossram cars running around with a non-functional dashpot. It was eliminated on the J and Ram K, and they run fine without it.

i beluve this part , not the bracket is on 440 six pack sticks in late 60’s and is reproduced , they were stalling on decell when you push in clutch . One can adapt it?

We should note these are broken by 300 owners all the time ! if you attempt to adjust it with one wrench your tear the diaphragm inside instantly . You must use two wrenches and be sure not to let the stem going into the can turn . If it does it is junk , it cannot resist turning torque , tears s hoke in center of diaphragm

Hi To All,

This item is not available. I remember coming across a Pontiac Dash Pot that I recommended to friends who were able to successfully modify to fit and replace their non functional vacuum operated dash pots.

I am showing you the original part that had both sides of the vacuum can being metal. D5-34R

Then these newer replacements that have one side plastic.

One vendor has 6 at a reasonable price. The other has one that is double the price.

If you need a replacement or want to do a belt and suspenders in case yours fails, you may want to consider these alternatives.
