| Hi Rich . I have a 62 with 405 clone , the mc is the same setup as an F . It also has air , guy before me was ambitious .He did a better job than factory . I also looked carefully at “ Big Red” at the Pa meet ; 62 405 with manual brakes and also water heated carbs . More of a race car setup but I liked it . Frees up exhaust options and no struggles with exhaust heat problems . FYI manual brakes with correct manual pedal ratio setup from a dodge ( fits) and stock 12 “ drums is not too bad . Good even . However even correctly done manual brakes and any disc conversion are a horror show imho . Very hard pedal , and it travels a few inches first due to very high brake fluid requirement ( cc) of the large disc puck cylinders compared to drum cylinder piston surface area . No amount of bleeding etc fixes that . Been there . Lesson learned . That car ended up with larger bore corvette master ( big but fits with redrilling , with no boost , non ram ) to reduce travel , but that makes pedal even harder . Lesson learned … Back to first question , I think 60-62 exactly the same engine bay ? Right ? I ask , as often headers ( like TTI ) are listed 62 up , why not 60 ? Something else hits? Anyone know? What was on 400 hp F for carb heat and brake mc ? Sent from my iPhone On Aug 2, 2022, at 1:35 AM, Rich Barber <c300@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Noel & All: I recall the meet, the car, the young woman owner and her father who had helped prepare the car—all from TX. I think the car was concours judged. Amazingly, their original FirePower 360 engine had been equipped with short rams. The outlet piping of the original boosted master cylinder had been re-routed downward and the horizontal outlet plugged. This left about 3/8” clearance between the LH ram assembly and the MC plug. I have a picture of same “somewhere”. So, this brings up a question I have on a ’62 300 with a long(?) ram optional engine—if ever one existed. Did they use the remote MC then as was later used on J’s & K’s? Inquiring minds want to know.

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} FW: Chrysler 300 1964 Here are photos of a beautiful '64 300-K Silver Special that came to our Fall 2012 Golden (Denver), Colorado 300 Club Meet - attached. Hi One of my friends has bought the car on the photos below. Somebody has told him that it is a 300 Silver Special. The paint code is 229. Can anyone confirm if it is a Silver Special or tell me what else it can be? Your assistance is highly appreciated. Thanks Allan --
