Gas gauge only reads half when full
Hi everyone, I installed a new gas tank sender in my 63 after bench testing it and confirming ohm range on the bench.However after installing and filling it up, it only reads half full after filling the tank up.Is there a way to calibrate this? Does it involve bending the float arm? I'd hate to drop the tank again.I've searched the forum high and low for this issue and haven't been able to find anything - just some dead links when referring to gas gauge calibration in …See More

64 Brakes
Hi,It's time to do a brake job on my Fleetwood. When I imported my car from the US to Canada I had to have my car safety inspected before I could license it in the Privince of BC. After the inspection the mechanic told me that the brakes had never been done. My car is about to hit 59,000 miles. I think I will only need cylinders, shoes, and hoses. There are many parts providers so my question is........Who offers the best quality parts and/or should I be searching certain brands? Please let me…See More

Down and Out for a Couple of Weeks --> but On the Mend
I have been more than a bit quiet the past couple of weeks due to a really bad fall January 31 where I tore my right knee MCL ligament and ruptured the ACL Ligament. MCL will heal in time but ACL is no longer as it was completely ruptured. It has not been a good time for me the past 2 weeks, but have went from literally crawling around on the floor to moving around with the leg brace. I am told people get by without the ACL but need to build up my quads and heal the MCL. I have been to PT…See More

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
