Re: [Chrysler300] PARTS NEEDED FOR MY 300J

Dicran-

All the parts you need are readily available from your local auto parts store.

1. Your 300J has power brakes but the power booster and slave master cylinder are remotely located under the driver’s side front fender. Therefore, you need to get a manual brake master cylinder for a 1963 Chrysler Newport for the firewall. However, make sure that your mechanic removes the residual pressure “check valve” from the new master cylinder. Failure to do so will result in dragging brakes.

2. The thermostat housing gasket is the same for big block Chryslers from 1959-78. Any auto parts store should have one in stock.

3. Your 300J may or may not have it’s original transmission & internals. Many were “blown up” in the cars’ early life. From the factory the transmission came with an external canister filter mounted in the transmission cooling line. An internal “screen” was used in the transmission. Many if not most of the external canister filters have gone missing over the years and the internal “screen” has been replaced by a filter. If the factory screen is still present, I would replace it with an internal transmission filter anyway. Just order a 1964 Chrysler 300 transmission filter and pan gasket kit, and your mechanic can easily install the filter and new gasket after dropping the pan.

Subject: [Chrysler300] PARTS NEEDED FOR MY 300J

Dear memmbers:

I will need a new home for my J. Had not driven it for a while. Bought a battery and it started after pumping up that gas pedal.

Decided to tow it to my mechanic, and these are the parts I need:

1.- break master cylinder

2.- thermostat housing gasket

3.- trasmission pan gasket If possible with the filter or some type of kit

I am not really mechanically inclined, but would love to drive this car a couple of times until I decide what I am going to to with it.

Any help in finding these parts would be really appreciated. If you need to contact me or my mechanic or just touch basis, you can reach me at (559) 288-6510

My name is Dicran. I live in Fresno , California.

Thanking you all in advance, I now remain.
