Hi there,

I'm Sammy from Germany and I'm new to this chapter…
So this is my first discussion I would like to start. 

I own a 63 CdV for over 11 years now and plan to do some work on it this winter. '

One major thing is to build up the intake, carb air cleaner with an 
Edelbrock and the original air filter. 

Last weekend I found another thing to do: 
Exchanging interior light in the speedometer assembly, maybe my eyes get worse 
or I was too much with modern cars - to me it is to dark at night. 

Does anyone now if it is a good idea changing bulbs to LED?
Recommendations?

Thanks a lot,
Sammy

Just put new bulbs in. The bulbs in there are probably very old and silvered up.

I did that already, even cleaned connection points… 
Not that big difference.

I bought some from superbrightleds.com, the ones I used are the BA9s 4 led bulb. 

Sounds great, is it a big difference? 
Where did you use them?

I used them in the dash , replaced a few to see the difference, and they seem to be brighter than even new incandescent bulbs,

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

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
