Hello Chapter, I had a question on the mounting holes for the front fender side trim. From the pictures I've researched, it appears I'm missing 5 holes. Are these different from the coupe and the sedan? Or could it be that these holes were shaved at some point? Fender doesn't appear to be the original.
Side note - I'm unable to reference opposite side as the car is not near me.
Thanks

Hi Mark,
Albeit I have a 1964 - Series 62, I just replaced this exact molding last year. From memory, there were four spring type clips that slide on to the molding and then the clip bolts go through the fender holes that are already there. As you go to the front of the molding nearer to the front bumper, there are five small self threaded screws that go into sliding clips - they are screwed in vertically upside down, so to speak. As I set the molding to the fender, I masking taped the molding to the car as I tightened all the screws, so the molding would not bend as I opened/closed the door to access the four rear nuts to tighten. For the four rear nuts, two can be reached by simply removing the inside metal separator in the door to expose the inside of the fender. The other one can be removed by leaning over the fender and loosening it - it's under the heater motor. Finally, the last one can be seen under the fender wheel well. Hope this helps!

Hi Mark,
You will have to drill the holes as you said. Just make sure to drill the holes so that you can access the bolts/nuts to tighten each of them on the inside of the fender. Sketch it all out first if you can, and make sue it is as level as possible for the fit into the front near the bumper. Start with the rear of the molding near the door opening. Open the door and remove that inside panel (2 small screws) to see the inside of the fender. Good place to start. Let me know how it goes.

I am running Rotella T4 15-40 and it’s runs great-even in the winter. Its always has a bit of an oil leak, but getting a little heavier. Do we think this could be the rear main seal leak? As always,…Continue

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…

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?
