Dino Coming Along!
Well it was a slow day today waiting for the intake paint to cure, but did make some slight changes to the way I block the exhaust port through the center of the intake, and went ahead and set the intake up on the engine. I will say the plates I installed back in 2012 have held up perfect. Also the Bill Hirsh Cadillac Blue was basically unphased by time or miles I have put on the car since the rebuild ... but still wanted to freshen up the top side with some cleaning and new paint. I will probably go ahead and torque down the intake tomorrow and install the carb and maybe give it another day or two for paint to cure before I try to fire it back up. I know I cured a lot of painted items in the kitchen oven during the first rebuild but can't remember if I roasted the intake in Cheryls stove! Regardless, I will let the engine heat finish curing it when I hopefully fire it back up.
So here is what we are looking at today... that Cadmium Bling sure looks good, huh?

Just to add, the picture I just posted of my intake shows the ported out front primaries to almost the size of the rear, to better match the Edelbrock 1411 front ports. Below is a stock intake showing the noticeably smaller front ports on the intake as compared to mine:

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

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…
