Replacing my wiper motor and now looking through a small access hole at a clip holding the motor to the arms. Hi do I remove the clip? Pull out or up? Do this through the small access hole or need to remove the wiper arm chrome shroud? Tool recommendations? All tips are appreciated. Thanks Larry

I think you can get to that clip from the plug at top, but I always just unscrew the 3 screws holding the wiper motor assembly to the firewall, and pull that rear section forward enough to get a small serrated nut that holds the lever to back of the motor. You will need a 7/16" wrench, helps to have a bend, and as you get close reach and turn nut with your fingers. I am always nervous I will drop it, but with 59/60 parts cars have never dropped it. I am a bit nervous because I know that nut thread size is 1/4"-28, which is the less common fine thread comparted to the 1/4"-20 thread. I have those nuts but not an unlimited supply. When the nut is off the lever is often still 'stuck" to the motor but easy to pop off with a screwdriver. Just remember your orientation of things when you reinstall. See picture of nut and area I am referring to:

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…
