Hello fellow 300 owners. I'm new to the club and have some questions. I was told that I would have trouble starting my c-300 when it sat longer than three weeks. The person was right. He said that the gas would flow back down the fuel line
past the fuel pump and back to the tank. This info. is wrong as I had full fuel levels in both filter bowls. Both WCFB's had good acc. pump streams shooting into the bowls. So why does this Hemi crank so long? Does the fuel go stale? Why doesn't the gas in the tank go stale? It does seem that it starts when it cranks long enough to shoot fresh gas into the carbs. When run every day, it starts with less than one full crank, These kind of thing bug me and maybe the answers aren't to important, but I still 
am curious. thanks. Also let me ask you Plymouth people if you have seen or even heard of a 'barker'? These were tail pipe extensions placed on 'formula S' Barracudas and Valliant's. I seem to remember that you couldn't get duel pipes on early Cudas, so the Chrysler folks added a 'Barker'. These had a distinct sound to them kind of like the cans the kids put on the new imports. This is also not to important to most people, but I haven't seen one since I worked at a Chrysler dealer back in '68-'69. Nobody I know has ever heard of one. What would one be worth today? Also to Jim Faber, Thanks for the '55 cap centers,
