Cowl cap

Does anybody know what the deal is with the caps under the cowl? I was cleaning out a mouse nest and found that the passenger side cap was cracked open. What are they there for? Does anybody have a replacement for sale?

Comment by Chris Codd on December 1, 2016 at 12:31pm: Yes, that's the cap I'm talking about. I'd like to keep the mice, debris, and water out. Does the cap just pop into place? I'll send you an email tonight about purchasing one as well as some other little parts.

Comment by Jason Edge on December 1, 2016 at 12:15pm: You are talking about the large plastic cap under the cowl to right center in this picture. I am not quite sure what they are for. Perhaps to facilitate construction of car. If it is for other maintenance in the shop manual I have missed it. I do hove a box full of these. I I an pick put a very nice one for $5 and ship for a couple bucks 1st class if you want a nice one.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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,

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…
