I have to second your thoughts here as that is excellent advice for any 63 Rochester carb due to the TV trans shifting rod issues involved
A nice thought that changed my first thoughts on the subject

There is a vacuum modulator that controls trans shifting on the side of the trans— at the end of the carbs rear vacuum hose - to the trans
That modulator is replaceable and could be your problem
Be sure the vacuum hose…"
"Henrik
As you have a 63 engine —with a stock Rochester carb I would second rebuilding the carb mostly because the trans shifting is controlled by the carbs side bracket and TV rod which is not easy to duplicate on an Edelbrock carb…"
"I’m unaware of any vacuum shifter on the back of the carb. To my knowledge, there is a vacuum line there that goes to the modulator on the side of the trans. But no component other than the line.

The vacuum shift modulator off the back of the carb on the Fleetwood has something to do with the correct shifting of the th-400 trans
Might have already been considered by Logan already
I do know that Logan…"
Shock absorbers and bolts
Time again to change my shocks. No matter if Gabriel, ACDelco whatever - don't last longer than 3 or 4 years.Problem is the rubber parts thats gliding out of the bottom.But now I have another problem:The bolts are very worn where you put them on the lower control arm. Is there any source to get new ones (replicas) or good used ones?Thanks,SammySee More

"You’re probably better off just cleaning and rebuilding the Rochester. I got an old used Rochester off eBay, rebuilt it, and now it works great. "

Just glad you found the problem

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…
