Re: {Chrysler 300} 300K single 4 BBL air cleaner rod

Hi James

I recently made one from 1/4” brass rod.  The nice thing about making one is that you can make the threaded parts as long as you need (not critical as long as they are long enough) and customize the length of the rod to fit your specific air cleaner/carb/gaskets/spacers with a good clearance to the hood.  The problem I found was that the dies I have don’t cut very deep threads.  Maybe my 1/4-20 die isn’t the best. If Steve has one that’s fantastic but if not, your piece of 1/4-20 brass all-thread works just fine and it will already have good thread depth- you probably already know to tighten the rod to the carb with jamb nuts to avoid metal filings left from channel locks.

Hi Steve,

 

An offer I cannot refuse. I will use a threaded rod for the time being, but that will have me from pulling out the dies to make a “real one”.

 

I HATE IT when owners make modifications and do not keep all the old parts with the car. I have made a lot of modifications to drive the 1947 Desoto for 22 years. But everything I have done is reversable and all the parts are boxed and labeled.

 

I am doing the same with any mods on the 300K.

Have a great new year.

Hi all,

 

I got my stock air cleaner from Murray and have some air filters inbound. But Murray did not include the threaded rod. Can someone take on out of theirs and measure it for me and tell me the diameter and thread pitch? I will order some threaded rod and cut it to fit.

 

I vaguely remember that the stock rods were just threaded on the ends. If that is the case then can you also tell me how long the threaded in in both ends. At some point I will get and die some solid rod to duplicate it.

 

Thanks, James
