I have a series 62 1963 convertible and under the left fender, near the firewall is a vacuum tank with a "T" and 2 hoses. On e is disconnected, WHERE do it go????
Thanks

That is for the power door locks.
I guess this does directly to the intake manifold?
The large vacuum tank on firewall on left side under left fender is used for cars equipped with vacuum power trunk or vacuum power door locks. The one hose feeds straight back into the cabin for trunk lock and/or door lock operation, while the other line goes across over to the fitting on the back of the intake.
That back of intake on 63 cars usually has 3 nipples: one goes back up to the connector in center of the large forward wiring harness connector on firewall that in turn feeds Neutral Safety Switch and heat or heat/AC system; one goes up to the vacuum throttle check valve mounted to the throttle relay bracket on firewall; and the 3rd goes over to the power door lock/power trunk vacuum canister in your picture.

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…
