I recently discovered that one of the
choke pots on my newly purchased 300G was burnt out. There
was a huge hole in it. John Grady to the rescue with one of
his beautiful stainless choke pots. Since I just bought the
car, I have no idea how long this condition existed. The
thermostatic coil spring was frozen in place. The arm of the
choke was fully extended and it had been disconnected from the
choke flap on the carburetor and the flap had been wired wide
open. This condition did not effect the car cold starting.
To make thing right, I started the hunt for a replacement
thermostatic spring. Actually two of them to balance the
choke opening rate on both carburetors. I found a source on
e-bay, in case you need one, search for 1955-71 choke
Thermostat Coil Carter AFB/WCFB Mopar Dual Quad.
