"Unfortunately, the gas tank is just an few inches away as is the overflow tube, so that won’t be a safe option. "
" Dave , Can you use an oxy acetylene torch to heat the flange that the joint goes into in the diff housing red hot then quench it with cold water that should get it loose. "
"Dave,
That's your only option at this point!

"Still no luck on getting the spherical joint to release. I even tried loosening the nut and then driving it, hoping all that movement and pressure would allow it to release- but alas, no luck! So it is coming out with the transaxle!"
"If you are changing the spherical joint, remove the nut and get a sledge hammer. It is stuck in there. "
"Hi Dave,
Still no luck with the spherical joint nut? I can imagine how frozen it must be. As Russ said, shocks come out first. Good luck Dave!!!
Dennis DiBari"
"Thanks Russ! I have not been able to get the spherical joint to release from the differential, so i will just remove bolts from the arms connected to the body, that should be ok when raising the car for spring removal?"
"Shocks come out first, then the upper A arm so the car can be raised to remove the springs. "

"Thats normal. The carb is sucking in air through the primary side. The secondary side is not active until you get way into the throttle. "
"Dave,
By any chance, do you know a Randy Wallick in Rockford, IL? He just moved from NY back to Rockford where he grew up? A good friend of mine!

"Hi Dave,
I was able to play your short vide/audio this time and I don't hear anything unordinary with the normal vacuum pulled through the intake. It looks like you have a Carter carburetor on your 63. I have the…"

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
