I am in the middle of doing a carburetor update and I am planning on blocking out the middle exhaust ports on the in manifold as per Jason's instructions on doing this update.  I am going to install an Edelbrock 1406 carb with electric choke.  In the instructions Jason mentions that the intake manifold gaskets should be updated to the thicker kind in order to seal around the metal plate being added to block off the exhaust passage that goes through the intake manifold on the production set up.  Does any one have a place that I can order those type gaskets either online or at an auto parts store.  I am only finding either the same thin type gaskets that are already on the car and won't seal properly, or what looks to be a gasket made from rubber from a company called Fel-Pro, and I don't know if those will do the trick.  I know that I am not the first one to do this update so where can I get the proper gaskets from?  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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,

-Samu
