Re: [Chrysler300] 300F stalling

[Tony Braams <tonybraams@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,
I'm no expert on 300F's in particular, but this is how I would approach 
it in order of ease of elimination.
I am about to fit some rams to a 60 Imperial coupe, so am keen to fully 
understand this intake system.
Before you go ahead with any of this, wait for responses from others, as 
they may have good info. to add. or correct me, if I am saying 
something, not quite right.
1.  Check points, replace condensor and overall distributor cond. / 
sideplay / bushing wear / advance mech etc.
2.  Also check timing as per recent discussion of the 300C and 
possibility of a slipped outer ring, on your harmonic balancer.
3.  Check or replace fuel filter and supply from pump to carbs. [ maybe 
add some methylated spirits to your fuel tank, to get rid of any water 
in the system ].  From what I've heard this works well, but anyone who 
disagrees, please respond.
4.  Hook up a vacuum guage to intake manifold to see if there is any 
intake manifold leaks. I'm not sure of a ballpark reading, or if this 
would be of help. Can anyone add to this system check ?
A way to check for intake manifold leaks is to spray a small amount of 
WD 40 ? around gasket mating surfaces to see if idle speed changes / 
improves.  Check carb. bases are firmly bolted to intake manifolds, 
sometimes these loosen with time, creating a leak at this point.
5.  Finally, remove and fully go thru carbs, or possibly leave on and 
just remove top peices to inspect bowls, for any contamination.  
Hope this helps you in some way and please let us know your findings.
Good Luck,
Tony in Oz.
