A Deal on Wheels I couldn’t refuse (Mag 500s)

So I stumbled upon a great deal on some reproduction Magnum 500s at a car show this past weekend in Lincoln, CA for my ’68 300 convertible. They are 15x7s and came off a ’69 mustang so I new the bolt pattern was right. The back spacing on these wheels is 4.5″. The current wheels on my car are original 15×6, but the FSM does not list the backspace on the stock wheels. I was told the best way to check for potential fitment issues is to just take off a current wheel and install the…

Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield?

I am getting some advice that installing heat shields between the manifold and valve covers are a worth while investment as a part of my 440 engine rebuild. I am being told that installing these will greatly decrease the chance of the valve covers le…

Legendary Auto Interiors – Sale?

Hello all and Happy New Year!

I am not quite ready to move to the interior of my ’68 300, but it appears Legendary may be having a pretty significant sale (25% off plus 5% more for online sales). This has certainly peaked my interest. I have seen that they have 15% sales quite often, but wanted to know from any of you if this 25% off happens at any sort of frequency? If not, I may go ahead and purchase the covers even though I won’t install them anytime soon…

Any and all thoughts are…

Any FiTech Throttle Body Users here?

I am getting ever closer to having the ’68 300 back from the engine rebuilding project that seams like it will never end… I am swapping out the carb for an FiTech GO600 and can already envision some major fitment problems with the stock, drop base air cleaner hitting the fuel supply and return lines Maybe the throttle linkage too).

Curious if anyone here is running a FiTech (or other EFI) and what air cleaner set up you…

1968 Fuel Tank Sending unit

Replacing my fuel tank and I looking for a resource for a new sending unit. 1968 Chrysler 300. Figured I’d starting by asking the Sages here before trolling the inter webs. My mechanic recommended staying clear of the spectra line if possible (he’s not a fan of spectra I guess).

Thanks in advance!

Number of vents in fuel tank?

Beginning to look like I will need a new fuel tank for the ‘68 300. Looks like Vans Auto is a good supplier at a great price (with free shipping thru EBay).

Curious though if anyone can tell me how many vents I need in the tank? Seems like 2, but th…
