Del,
You could hook the electric choke wires up to the 12v. (switch) side of
the
ballast resistor.
The brake light switch could be sticking, pull one of the wires off the
switch at the master cylinder to check.

Subject: rebuilding '64 413 motor
I have just started the process of rebuilding my 300K convertable. We
pulled the413 non-crossram motor for rebuild. The car will be a summer
driver and will bore & hone for new pistons .020 - .060 ? the block goes
out next week. I have been told to switch to the 516 or newer heads? I
plan to put in hardened seats and some minor porting and have blue print
and balance the motor by a local high quality shop. He feels that the
1.60 valve is to small but is the biggest that should be installed with
current heads? He thinks a mild purple cam is fine for my application.
I know this is a can of worms to open but I would appreciate knowing
what others have done, what worked well and what to avoid.

> Hi:
> My name is Jeff Koch, and I am a California-based writer for Hemmings
Publishing, including the brand-new glossy magazine Hemmings Muscle
Machines. If you haven't seen it, HMM is a musclecar magazine that covers
all factory (and some aftermarket) performance cars from 1949 to present,
with an emphasis on the little-seen and underappreciated marques. In the
four issues we've done thus far, we've featured a number of Mopar models,
including a drag-prepped FWD 300, though no letter-series cars ... yet. We
have had excellent response from readers who are tired of seeing the
same-old same-old, and HMM certainly is NOT the same-old!
> HMM's editor, Richard Lentinello, has sent me on a mission: he wants
factory-fresh (restored or unrestored, no matter as long as it's clean)
original 300s in the pages of that magazine, and sooner rather than later.
He would like to run the gamut, from early models through the '70 models,
and even the '80 "Cordoba" 300. We are also interested in
tastefully-modified vehicles as well as factory "freaks" (ie option combos
that weren't supposed to happen, particularly if they are of a performance
bent)--especially if they have not been seen in a national magazine
previously.
> Can you possibly connect me with the owners of clean, original muscle
300s
of ANY stripe, who might be interested in seeing their car in a nationally
published magazine? I'd love to communicate with them, particularly if
they
are in the Southern California area (although anywhere on the Pacific
Coast
and into desert regions like Phoenix and Vegas will work for me too).
Assuming the owners don't live in the snow belt I can pop around to take
my
own shots, I just need some quickie jpegs and a couple of words about how
long they've owned it, how original it is, any performance parts added,
etc.
> Any story we do will of course give your club and/or site, and any
others
the car owner feels is helpful to a Chrysler 300 fan, a plug in the
magazine. If you could, please post, print or forward my email address:
jkoch@xxxxxxxxxxxx, to any interested parties, who may contact me at their
leisure.

Subject: Re: rebuilding '64 413 motor
The right pair of '71 or later heads will already have the big valves &
hardened seats. They will also have bigger combustion chambers, which will
lower the compression ratio, but you can allow for that when you order the
pistons. A compression ratio of 9 to 1 is , realistically, about all one
should have with today's fuel quality anyway. I used a "purple shaft" cam
in a street-driven 440 for a while, it didn't seem to make the car go
noticeably better. A better choice would be the 375 horse 440 cam
(the"roadrunner" cam), it has better idle quality and will produce all
around better torque, horsepower and mileage.
Of course when you find out what it costs for a set of custom pistons for
a
413, you may just decide to pick up a high perf 440 (which already has the
good heads and cam) to freshen up and save your matching numbers original
motor for the next person to own your car.

> I also used a "purple shaft" cam in one of my 440s - it had relatively
poor off the line performance and didn't go that much better in the upper
speed ranges either. I agree with the former post by Mike in going with
the 375 HP cam he mentions. I don't know why the "purple shaft" cam seems
to be revered in Mopar circles. It was so bad, I yanked it after only a
short run with it.
