[Chrysler300] Motor dying on right hand turn

["Don Warnaar" <300country@xxxxxxx>]

To All,

I had a '57 Plymouth.  One day while entering the NJ Parkway ramp the car just died.  Coasted to the side.  Luckily it did not have power steering or brakes and I was able to get it on the shoulder just fine.  The engine would not restart.  Got out, opened the hood, and found that the coil was leaking oil and the wire coming out of the center post had simply slipped out.  Having nothing to lose, I wiped it a bit and pushed it back in.  Got in the car and it started.  Drove home about 8 miles and it ran perfectly well.  Needless to say, I replaced the coil.

  Bob,
  Several years ago I had an intermittent miss in a car (different make) I had just restored. I tried everything. 
  Finally, in desperation, a good friend with the same make and model car lent me his entire ignition system  from the distributor (included) through the spark plugs, and including the coil cables and end caps on ignition harness. Then, my car ran like a top. 
  Piece by piece, I began swapping my parts back to identify the culprit.
  The biggest problem turned out to be my brand new coil. I called the supplier, who asked to shake it and see if it "gurgled" which it did. He sent me a new one, problem solved. He said they had a bad batch of coils, and you could tell them by their "gurgle". 
  I have no idea if it's related to your problem, but there are some strange things about coils and liquid.
