doing some prelim distributor application. A guy coming in tomoro to help me put in engine, so doing some pre planing, fitting, in the attached picture, is the rotor pointing at number 1 or shoukd i re install back a notch or so so that it falls more to the right. My hb is lined up on 0, and looks like 1 cylinder is at tdc. So for when i get ready to insrall, shoukd the pointer be a little more clockwise, like ppointingover the first spring more?

I'd bump it back a notch.
Im running petronics so dntvuse points
Got it in! By the. Hardest.
Some items i found along the way.
The trans kickdown got bent , i guess during extraction. Points more up than parrelel to body. Dnt kno how it happened. But, guessing i can bend dk downward and into a parrelel poistion to hook up to carb?
Second the pcv line runs up the valley pan, then curls bk toward front of carb. I hv a picture of it, but it doesnt show if it attaches at front, i cant seem to find an attachment point or does iy just sit under there open ended?
Got exhuat hooked bk up, radiator hoses tonight, intake, carb tomorow.
Yes, thats it, when i was testvfitting, i didnt put on the spacer, and it does hv that connection, thanks.

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,

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…
