Re: [Chrysler300] 300C Voltage Regulator, Spark Plug, Trans Shift Cable

Jeff Carter is always a treasure trove of information regarding things electrical/electronic on our Brutes. I'd give him a phone call to tap his knowledge on the correct voltage regulator, and he might have one available too.

Re the shrink tubing on your shift cable: You do not have to remove it from the car to solve the problem. As long as you put a long enough shrink tube on the cable to reach above the level of fluid in the transmission, that's high enough to get the job done. I don't have my C on the lift at the moment or I'd measure mine. I'm guessing maybe 18" of tubing does it. Seems to me I recall doubling up tubing over tubing on the bottom 6" or so as well. I can check. And BTW, shrink tubing comes with or without hot-melt adhesive coating on the inside. Pick the adhesive type for a better seal.

Thanks for responses on the carb to carb fuel hose question.

Just going through the spare parts bin that travels with the C. I notice I don't have a spare voltage regulator anymore.
The parts gremlins must have it. A perfect NOS appearance is not critical. I see 3 are sold at Rock Auto. There are Delco, Standard and AirTex brands. Each has a photo, and they appear identical. Is there a brand difference? Any preferences?

Separately, it has been more than 10 years and many miles since the spark plugs were changed. I think it has Champion RN12YC now. It runs fine. It probably won't after I change the plugs. Any brand or part # preference?

Last, the transmission cable jacket leaks. I have the Goers shrink tube repair kit. It says to remove the entire cable jacket to install the new tubes. To avoid breaking something else, I'd like to stay away from the push button end. Will I get a positive result If I only replace it up to the firewall?

Thanks!
