RE: [Chrysler300] Transplant Check

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Paul:

Many thanks for a prompt and thorough response.  Something else to be
thankful for.  Now, if I could get some new memory banks to help remember
what spare parts I have and where they are rat-holed.

My mechanic has the starter in and reports it worked fine.  Makes me wonder
what the heck the differences are between the Canadian and US starters???
The only thing I saw was the tin cover that covers the access holes for the
brushes was a stout bolt-on cover on the Canadian unit vs. a cheaper snap-on
cover on the US unit.  But, that might have been added by the rebuilder.  

Were there differing standards between US & Canada on some parts?  I didn't
notice if the information on the red tag was in French.

autolite mcl-6121A  1955 C67, C68, C69 (canada)

SAME armature, brush set, C.E. Head assembly, brush springs and field 
coil package as the MCL-6304
according to my autolite book

so C67 was a Windsor,  C68 NewYorker/300, and C69 Imperial
from my reccolections
