Re: [FWDLK] Fuel Injection-

[Bill Watson <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a copy of Chrysler of Canada's "1958 Passenger Car Parts List",
publication # WM 4429, dated March, 1959.  It lists parts for the fuel
injection system.

It shows the system available on the Plymouth, Dodge (D-500), DeSoto
Adventurer and Chrysler 300-D.   The system was the same for all lines.  The
Chrysler version used different bits as the engine was the old Chrysler hemi
while the Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto versions used Chrysler's new B engine.

Also, the fuel injection system was used only on American-built cars.  No
Canadian-built car rolled off the line with the fuel injection system.
