Hood hindges
What to do with oxidized hindges? Paint, just clean up with steel wool or can they be replated with out pulling apart the rivits?

I had mine replated years ago; Kind of a gold color , don't remember what it's called so I don't want to tell you wrong, but it was quite affordable. You'll want to replace the rivets if there's much slop, check for that after removing the spring. I think Russ sells new rivets. Do be careful ,they are mighty strong..

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

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
