Crank shaft bolt

I'm working on the front of the engine on my "63. Does anyone know the correct thread size of the internal treads on the crank shaft? I'd like to go into the hardware store and buy a longer bolt to use in installing the harmonic balancer and am considering securing it with a shorter bolt and washer after it's installed.See More

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
