RE: [Chrysler300] 1964 300K

Not-so-old-timers will recall the black, oily stains showing on concrete highways—from draft tubes.  Made the road slick for our Beautiful Brutes after a rain.

 

I appreciate all the input describing the various air cleaners in 1964.  But have yet to see a ram air cleaner with a hose nipple.  The Parts Catalog indicated an optional air cleaner to be used with the breather hos.  On the RHS.  That’s strange as the hose would be connected to the oil-filler cap on the LHS rocker arm cover.  Perhaps the RH reference is to the carb for the RH bank and head which is actually on the LHS of the chassis???

 

Mr. Merritt or anybody:  Anything inside the “CA” unsilenced air cleaner to filter the air going to the breather hose and LHS rocker arm cover?  Perhaps a little pad of stranded material?  Improved filtering of crankcase vent air seems to be the only reason to add the hose to the LHS breather.  Not that CA needed a reason.  Just being different seems to make CA regulators happy.

Possible a quiet package ?. Silenced air cleaner and hood pad ?

FYI The Grandparents had a 51 Chrysler Imperial with a Douglas Donaldson valve. The valve fastened into the hole where the draft tube would have been and a flexible tube to the base of the Carb. It could be disassembled and cleaned. kind of a check valve exactly like a PCV valve only five times larger.

I lived in California in 1966 when I bought my 300H. It was exempt from smog equipment because of “multiple-carburetions” same as my TR3 with two SU’s.

errr, Hummm!

As I previously detailed some time ago, Whilst tripping down the isles
of a parts place looking for DIY stuff for Wifypoo's 90 LeBaron GT
the cattylog for PCV stuff had a listing for 1957 Chrysler's. I
scratched my head on that a little then recalled I had a picture
somewhere of a California 1957 392 hemi with what looked like a factory
hooked up PCV setup, ran from the earl fill tube to the carb somewhere.

Didn't discover what was done to the downdraft vent tube.

Never learned if that was a retro fit assemblage or not.
