If your present intake manifold is slightly cracked/leaking, the replacement manifold you buy will probably have an internal choke tube (about 10 inches long) that is clogged/corroded. Ask about that internal…"

"The choke tube is not associated with intake vacuum. If it is, there is a crack in the intake allowing that to happen. The choke tube runs through the exh passage so the fresh air being drawn in is heated for the choke assembly. "

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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 1 Like

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…
