Re: [Chrysler300] Carter carb identification query



>From what I found in a search that carb #3258 is the front carb from a 1962
Chrysler 300. The rear carb would be # 3259. You can also verify this by
looking on the back of your club membership card.

Just looked in my parts book and the same numbers come up for the 1962 300.
I used this site for my search.
