In an earlier conversation, someone mentioned the need for carb-to-air cleaner gaskets for the 1960's era Carter AFB. The Felpro part number supplied was either obsolete or the incorrect size. The correct Felpro gasket is part number 2102. My local store got them for me in a day or two. They correctly fit the 4 7/32" Carter AFB carburetors.

57 years ago today,[20,819 days] I bought a 1957 Chrysler 300 in Culver City, CA. for $395. After replacing the generator and battery, he had to borrow $75 to buy gas for the return trip to Laredo AFB, TX., and await his next paycheck. No credit cards then.
A lot has happened since then. Downside is that the car has not been driven on the highway since Aug. 2003. But I'm working on it, DAILY. Hope to get it finished before my time is over.
Now you know the "rest of the story".
Have a Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2023.

This conversation about painting K hubcaps reminds me that I made a mask system for 57/58 Chrysler 300 hub caps. I reversed engineered the little windows and center in Auto Cad. When I had the dimensions correct, I sent AutoCad file to sign shop to CNC plot cut out of sign vinyl, (lots of work).
Go to GLNelson.com and click on 1957- 58 Chrysler 300.
That will open up to 30+ photos that shows how the mask is applied and end results. The result is very crisp paint lines. I used black paint for contrast.
I still sell mask system for 57/58 300 caps. $75 for all the material for Four hub caps + a little extra to test with + complete write instructions.
