Front Bumper License Plate Frame
I noticed today that my front bumper license plate frame has a dent. Ugg! Is this something than I can push out/hammer out from the back side (and re-chrome is necessary) or should I just replace it (if I can find a suitable replacement. Sorry about the size of the pic. I don't know how to shrink it. If you scroll down, you'll see the dent. Thank you.
Mike

The front lower license guard removes from the lower center bumper bar via the 4 carriage bolts you see. You usually need to soak the bolts with PB blaster overnight unless they have been removed before. You can what I think they call a cross peen hammer (I have seen various names for it) as seen below. Take the straight blunt side and put in the crease and hit with another large (e.g. 5 lb hammer) to push out. I've punched some dents out like that but the never look like new.
Here is that hammer:

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…

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?
