Wheel alignment data
Just ordered new tires for my 63.
As the front wheels have reasonable wear I want to align them or at least
have them aligned, but not sure if the alignment data in our shop manual
are still the right ones for the radial tires today?

Caster angle really positive?
For the camber it says 1/4 or 1/2 more positive on left side.
So it's different to recommendations in the shop manual.
How did you determine the values?

Sammy, check out the help section,look up alignment. You’ll see that there where other members who had alignments done with those adjusted numbers that have been successful for these cars with radial tires. It worked for me

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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,

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…
