1966 Chrysler 300 coupe

Hey guys:

I have decided to sell my ’66. My primary focus has remained with the A-bodies and I just don’t drive it anymore. I wanted to offer it here first. This is a base 300 in Regal Blue metallic. The only options are A/C, power steering and …

’66 300 vent window whistle

Hey guys:
I am having an issue with my left vent window not wanting to close tightly to the seal. I don’t want to crank the handle any harder than I am. It will physically close if I push it with my fingers but it will not stay there. There is pro…

1966 Carter AFB starving for fuel?

Hey all:

I’ve had a long-term issue with the carburetor on my ’66 300 383, which is the original 4131S. It works perfectly "most" of the time, but it appears to run out of fuel when I am in the secondaries. I don’t drive this car hard b…

Anybody know where to get a PS pump brass seat?

This goes in the power steering pump and is what the end of the pressure line seats against. When they get deformed you have a leak that no amount of tightening resolves. I tried removing it(the FSM has the procedure) and dressing it, but only slowed i…

1966 Chrysler left vent window is whistling

Hi there:

I’m having an issue with the driver side vent window on my car. It produces a lot of wind noise because the window itself will not close completely, as if it is out of adjustment.

I attempted to push the window fully closed by hand with moderate…

1966 Chrysler dash vents doing something odd…

Hey there:

I’ve been driving my ’66 with standard heater/AC later into the year and had to use the heater a few times. Something isn’t quite right. The air temperatures out of the 2 center vents above the ash tray are distinctly different from one another. The air out of the left(driver side) vent is warm, and the air out of the right vent is cool. I didn’t think to check the far outer passenger vent but I would suspect it’s also producing cool air as well.

This is happening with the…

Those of you with ’65-66 300’s and related….

Hey guys:

I’ve had my ’66 on the road for a year or so and have been working out some bugs along the way. I thought it might be both fun and informative to describe the issues I’ve had with MY car to see whether you guys have had the same things happen.

1. The worst, and still ongoing issue I’ve had is getting the AFB sorted out. For whatever reason, I can’t get that carburetor to run on the secondaries. It transitions smoothly with no bog, but a couple seconds after getting the…
