"Hi David,      If there is too much fluid in the transmission, or there is not enough fluid in the transmission, both situations can cause air to infiltrate (churning or air sucking).  Also, check to see how the filter is. …"

Rear Main Seal & Transmission Pump Seal

Hey everyone, I need to replace my transmission input seal before spring starts, I’ve been losing a lot of fluid post Sunday drive. I figured I’d do the rear main seal service bulletin at the same time. Is there any advice going into this that people could give I’d really appreciate it.

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,

-Samu

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?
