Sump removal 390Cui 1963
Hello there,
I have been adviced to remove the sump to have access to the valve lifters from below and to clean the sump from inside due to what looks like poor maintenance for many years. Is it possible to remove the sump without unfitting the engine itself? This is part of the job of exchanging the valve lifters, which are indeed very hard to remove. Any advice will be warmly welcomed. Thanks. BR Keld

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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?
