"The vacuum unit you are showing has already been replaced. The unit I am speaking about controls the flow of air between the floor/ac ducts. It is mounted inside the rear half of the heat/ac assembly and the retaining nuts are facing the firewall."

Heater-Air Conditioning Vacuum Power Unit 1963 Coupe deVille

I am not having issues with with my vacuum unit but have been looking at what it would take to replace it if became necessary. Can the 2 nuts that hold it to the rear plenum be reached from the inside without removing the plenum? The rear plenum is very close to the firewall and it appears that space is quite limited to access the nuts on the backside of the plenum.See More

Speedometer Drive Gear

When driving my 63 the speedometer reading is about 5 to 7 faster than what I am actually traveling. I have not removed the gear to count the number of teeth it has. The rear axle ratio is 3.21. Does anyone know how many teeth the gear should have at that ratio? And if is is incorrect, where can I source a new gear? Also, does anyone know of a chart that shows the number of teeth required for a given ratio? I am running Hankook Optimo H724 235-75R-15 tires. ThanksSee More

"The intake manifold on the 59 - 62 engines are the same so the 1406 will bolt up just fine. The Throttle linkage is almost identical to the 63/64's so that will not be a problem. By not using the HydraMatic transmission the TV bracket on the…"

I am having extreme difficulty trying to have my car shipped. My brother and I have gotten nothing but the run around from 2 companies. Can anyone recommend a decent auto transport company? My car is in Carlsbad CA and I need it shipped to Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Thanks

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments

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…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
