Are there any serious long term effects with unleaded gas? I'm not too worried with my Duster since the engine is rebuilt but the 383 in my 65 300 is original. A couple times this summer I have used bottles of lead additive in the gas. Never had any issues but several years from now will things...

Nice Duster. I have always had a soft spot for the fox body Mustangs. Thanks for sharing.

I have an A1 cardone steering box for my Duster. Have had it for a few years still in the box. My Duster is a '74 318, stock manifolds power steering, power disk brakes. Lately my steering has been feeling numb. The car currently has the original box. It leaks a little but more than anything...

Has anyone here ever been to the big Mecum classic car auction in Indy? http://mecum.com/auctions/auction_detail.cfm?AUCTION_ID=SC0511 It's towards the end of May. I'm thinking about going, just wanted some feedback to see if its worth the 2 hour drive. Figured someone here has been to...

I have heard many horror stories involving the 2.7. Thankfully all 300m's have the 3.5. Thanks for everyone feedback

Anyone here a fan of Chryslers LH cars? What are your thoughts if you have owned one? I am looking into a 2002 Chrysler 300m special. Just trying to get as many opinions as possible. I have researched quite a bit online but it's the personal opinions and experience that count the most. Figured...

My Duster is currently in hibernation mode for the winter. But I decided to fire it up this afternoon and let it run for a few minutes. Once I got it going just a few seconds later I heard a loud noise. Not like a squeal though. Sort of hard to explain. I had my hand on the steering wheel and...

When you mean dryer sheets you mean the tissue size paper you stick on top of a load of wet clothes in the dryer? I would have never have guessed mice would keep away from them. I'll for sure lay a few of those out. Thanks everyone

I will be throwing the car cover on the Duster soon. Starting to get to cold to drive it. My biggest concern is mice. I didn't have any problems last winter but I do remember seeing a couple running around. Whats the best way to prevent them from getting in the car? I have read sticking rags up...

I have recently joined SEMA. Thanks for the link. I have also written to several Ohio senators about the proposed HB 191 bill. To my surprise a few of them actually got back with me that they would approach it with caution and we don't need to solve a problem by creating more. It was supposed...

Met with a few friends over the weekend at the local track. Took my duster down and made a four passes. 16.2 @ 86mph was my best. I was hoping for 15's but oh well. The car just dosn't launch good but seems to pull good once moving. Sorry not many pictures of actual racing. Overall it was a fun day.

I have a '90 Daytona ES. Has the 2.5 turbo and 5-speed. So far its been a great car. Would love to have a Shelby Daytona.

Sort of looks like my beater. Mine is a 3.0 as well. Needs some work though.

This question is regarding my 65 Chrysler 300. I will soon be doing an oil change. The engine is a 383 with 92,000 original miles. I don't beleive its ever been rebuilt. Do I need to worry about using oil with zinc or is any conventional oil okay being the cam has long been broken in? I plan on...

I am wanting to have a vinyl top installed for my Duster. Has anyone used legendary interiors vinyl top? I checked out the website and I am assuming the 3/4 top is the canopy style, is this correct? Also what is the difference with the "seamless" tops? The prices are both $128. There are no...

Thanks everyone, turns out it is a 383 car not a 413.

HA! I like that. You never know lol Its a shame the big C-bodys don't get as much respect as everything else. I really think they are way underappreciated. I plan on putting many miles on this one 8)

Today I drove home this 1965 Chrysler 300. It was about a 2 1/2 hour trip. Car rides great. So far I'm very happy with it. After searching for about six months I finally found one. Past owner says its a 413. I'll have to look at the numbers just to make sure. I'll also search for the build...

I spent this evening installing the fuel pump. So far everything seems good. I took it for a short drive and nothing appears to be leaking. Over time i'll see if the vapor lock returns. I know this week is supposed to be rather cool with low humidity so time will tell. Thanks everyone

Thats what I was wondering about. I just didn't want to pull the old one out and not be able to push the new one in. Hopefully I can get around to it this weekend and i'll post the results. Thanks oh, I also checked behind my ECU and it looked good. I didn't see anything that looked like...

Thanks for the info. I wanted to run a fuel gauge connected to my fuel line someplace under hood. Only thing was everything I saw was for a 3/8 line not a 5/16 like mine. When I do remove the pump will the new one just slide into place? I just don't want to hurt something or makes things worse...

I went ahead and purchased a new pump and a metal filter. Is there anything I should look for on the old pump to know its for sure the problem? Will the long arm be worn down in some way? Im assuming its a straight forward installation, just pull the old one out and the new one will slide into...

I read through "mullinax95" thread and sure does sound like the exact same issues I am having. So as of now I am suspecting the fuel pump since its been so hard to start when cold. I will also change to a metal filter in the process of installing the new pump. The only time I have ever done...

An update: I took the car for a drive this evening. Not once did it surge on me. Performed flawlessly. Figures when I am expecting it to act up on me it does perfect. I for sure got it up to tempurature. Even pulling away from lights nothing happened. I was thinking about another...

Your probably right on the pump. My 318 is a mild build. 4-barrel with 340 cam and duels. Some head work on the stock heads but nothing much. Stock 904 with rebuild and 3.21 8 1/4 sure-grip. Im hoping to drive it this evening if it dosn't rain. As soon as I get it on the road i'll punch it...

one evening this week i'll take it out and hammer on it while its cold and see what happens. So once its warm and if it starts to surge then the coil could be the issue? I don't happen to have an spare lying around but it could be giving me problems when its hot out. I think there is an old one...

The coil thats on it is one of those msd blaster coils. Less than a year old. Do these have a habit of causing issues in hot weather?

I keep thinking this becuase I have never used UDF gas since the engine has been rebuilt. Almost always use BP. Is it that far fetched that bad gas could be causing this? It really is like an on off switch, very random and UDF is all thats currently in the tank.

Just an update. I took the car out today for a couple errands. Its very hot and humid out even in the shade but I drove it anyway. Did fine the first part of the trip. When I left the bank I was on a very busy road. I was in stop n go traffic and it started to surge like it was on the highway...

Just an update I removed the current filter. Its one of those HELP/motormite line clear glass filters. The ones that have the metal fittings instead of the plastic ones. I have been using these for about three years now. Not too many people sell them though. Never an issue. Anyway Looked...
