RE: [Chrysler300] Carter carb identification query

["NANCY TERRY" <nterry2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,
Figure someone on the list will give you the specs for the alignment, but if 
for any reason they don't, just let me know and I'll email them to you after 
we get home at the end of June.  Really glad that the engine noise wasn't as 
serious as feared.
While taking the last of the parts for the 300C to northern Minnesota, we 
discovered and bought a terrific black w/white top 62 Imperial convertible 
with 254,000 miles on an untouched motor that just purrs.  We're having a 
little body work done with new paint, and new leather seats put on before we 
take possession.  Come to the U.S. and we'll let you drive it.
Nancy Terry, Texas
