Re: {Chrysler 300} Check this out! McCandless —Fuel Injected! Vin 0001?



This year, there won’t be 300’s. 55 Vin 1 won’t be completed in time. This year I’ll be featuring wagons, around 7 of them. I’m sure Dad will still drive his G up of course. Still like for everyone to come by and say hi!

So maybe we'll see it at MoPar Carlisle next year.  Hope so!  Enjoy seeing the 300s Mike brings every year.  It is a highlight of the weekend.  Thanks for bringing them all.

The restoration company that Mr Mccandless hired for the restoration is the only one that successfully duplicated all the bendix capacitors.  Tom White Sr is a electrical engineer who worked for Raytheon in the late fifties to the late seventies.  His 58 adventurer ran good and was rebuilt using as many original parts as possible.  I hope to be a part of this project even if it's supplying some nos parts. Unfortunately I won't be able to report on the project as there are certain confidentiality stipulations between the 2 parties.  But knowing the Whitehall family as I do the car will be as close to original as physically possible

hi , 
I hope someone looks at the info Bob has on the 300 site , all the factory data , tests , decisions they made — and why —  and the also the analysis / report of it I did , looking at it as an EE . I spent a year on this , wrote it up,  as much misinformation was always  floating around . It really interested me, “How did it work?” They were all pulled because they all failed , and one can see why they failed from the schematic of it . “  Interference “ by neon signs ? etc etc - are all incorrect . Not possible . There are no “ vacuum tubes” either . Fairy stories. 

Jim B had the original Chrysler engineering test and service problem info , passed it on to me at the time . I believe Gloria also helped out. I also found the prints of it ; flat out unworkable very naive design . Not by Chrysler by the way ,—  it was Bendix as a vendor trying to sell them prototype “ great new idea” aircraft style ? electric fuel injectors on a car . They made many exotic claims , some at Chrysler believed them . 

GM had a fairly good FI coming ,too —Rochester mechanical , — shook them up at Mopar . Rochester engineers were carb guys, knew the real issues . 

Even if one “ got it running” with the original design and parts , i doubt you will go 300 miles . And it won’t be pleasant . It might destroy your engine in fact , due to the exact ways  it commonly failed . Bad news. As in injectors not closing or sealing, steadily  leaking fuel into one cylinder , filling it = hydraulic lock , bent rods etc , —- of course intermittently . Yow. 
.... They often had to supply not just carbs , but whole new service engines . For instance it has a mechanical brush system added to the distributor to go cylinder to cylinder on the injectors  . Not like a rotor ( which does not touch the contacts ) it had to touch reliably (!) at 12 volts . Right . talk about a D - design idea. 

I think those who adapt closed loop O2 sensor systems to the old throttle body really deserve our praise ,not criticism,  as it was truly too far ahead of 55- 1956 analog technology to ever work . Hide the CPU box under the dash  

Kind of along the lines of wooden wheel bearings lubed by tallow . yeah , it works , and is “all original “ .  You can do that if you want to ..  for about 20 miles. And bring a brush and bucket of NOS tallow. Walk next to it.  And a jack , fire extinguisher , ( if overheats = fire) and new clean clothes. 
smile ... really —

I have seen Per's car at a previous Spring Fling and it is a beautiful car.  The fuel injection system, however, has many modern components so I believe Mike's statement stands

We will attempt to do it with all original factory equipment, which I have. If we are successful, my statement stands true.

Michael and list,

 

The link states:  “When it’s done it will be the only Chrysler 300 running with factory fuel injection”.   This is not a true statement, see this:
