RE: [Chrysler300] Manifolds and carbs

I believe that at least the problem was fitting the power brake booster onto the firewall of a chassis that had been shortened 4”—mainly in the area in front of the cowl. In 1963 & 1964, the ram-engined cars had a small unboosted master cylinder on the firewall connected to a vacuum-boosted master cylinder suspended in the LF fenderwell.

I did see and photograph a 300K that had been converted from the normal power brake booster and a single four-barrel engine to a full ram intake manifold and dual carbs—with the standard booster. The steel tubing outlet from the standard MC was connected to the downward-facing outlet and the horizontal opening was plugged. That left about ¼” between the LH carb and the plug in the end of the MC. I don’t recall where the stoplight switch was located. Apparently too close for comfort for Chrysler.

C300K’ly,

Hello, everyone:

I've been following the thread on the '62 Chrysler 300 (H?) and now wonder why C300, B, C, D and E had a 2x4 bbl. intake manifold and the F, G, J and K (option) had ram induction. What was Chrysler's logic for this on-again and off-again aspiration? Just curious.

By the way, I will have a '64 K 360 HP engine in running condition complete with correct carb and air cleaner up for sale this Spring. Asking $500. Buyer picks up. Please advise if interested.

Best,

Ron Kurtz
