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 series 62 convertible transmission issue

Hello I've been restoring a 63 for way to many years. Down to almost done, but have issue with trans linkage, when column in park shift rod 2 inches short. everything original. been trying to find picture of manual rod hooked up from under car to see position of linkage. was wondering if anybody has access for pictures. I wanted to see if my manual linkage is bent wrong out of the trans if somebody dropped the trans or something. Doesn't make sense why it doesn't work. Thanks for any input…

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive

Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.
With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Hello!
Newbie to the group here - we have already found tons of invaluable information on the board, so thanks! We are restoring a 1963 Series 62 Convertible. We are wondering if anyone knows of a source to buy the propellor yoke flange (that bolts to the pinion flange) for the driveshaft? One of our ears partially broke off. Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…
