Gentlemen,

I've been having a problem recently with my car stalling at a stop light.  It happened three times.  The first two was just a quick restart and the engine fired right up. The third time, I had difficulty starting her. I finally go her started and limped her home.   I suspect a failing fuel pump and replace it.

The first day, the car ran great.  The next day, she stalled out again when decelerating and at a stop light.  I got her started and home.  


This morning, I started her cold and she started right up.   Drove her to the donut shop get together and then she wouldn't start initially.  Got her started and home.  At home I turned her off, the tried to restart her.  No luck.  She just cranks over.   There is spark at the coil and at plug 1 (I didn't test the other plugs.).   There is also fuel with pressure in the fuel filter bowl.  See pick.

Here are YouTube links with the videos of attempting to start the Car, and one showing fuel shooting into the intake ports.   Any thoughts what the problem might be, and running?   Perhaps a float problem???

Thanks for all your input!!!

Cool video! At least now you know the culprit! Good to see you on our Zoom Chapter Chapter tonight. 

Thanks, Jason.

Sorry I couldn't stay for the whole thing.  I had a dinner date with my wife. 

Merry Christmas and Thanks again.

Looks very similar to the hotwire pigtail I made. Keep that in your glove box. It'll get you home if you accidently lose your keys (or lock them in the trunk : )

My reservoir is a little low. Any recommendations on my purchase of refill fluid? There are likely new fluids and I’d like to buy the right product. Thanks. Continue

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
