Rich et al,
The owner (Per) told me he found an original Chrysler fuel injection intake manifold, and it uses modern Bosch fuel injection with parts available from Summit Racing. The technician doing the work was Arnet Nillson (spelling?) who works for the Volvo racing team. It is a modern computer programmable system and I’m sure more information will be provided in the upcoming video. He said he found the car in the ‘90s in a small local paper called “The Recycler”, and that the fuel injection emblems were remade from the originals in Australia. Per is familiar with the ’58 DeSoto Adventurer fuelie car also, and that he was told that car was based more on the original system and is transistorized, and that there have been some issues with it.
Below are pictures I took in 2010 of the DeSoto Adventurer fuel injected car in Monterey at Mecum in 2010. (I hope it works, my first attempt at picture insertion using Windows 10 , Outlook 2016)

Point well taken.
Just curious:
Does this “resto-mod” use the original intake manifold and a new computer and plumbing or all new intake? Was the original Bendix FI system multi-point or throttle-body? In any case, glad to see the original air cleaners up top.

Right, its just a resto mod, except it is the only 1958 300D original fuel injected car on the planet that runs on fuel injection. That’s all.

Neat idea, but it’s really a resto mod. Modern and old parts mixed.
