"I'll add that the torque multiplication provided by the TH400's torque converter will help. The fluid coupling in the 63's Hydramatic does not have this benefit."

Suspension on 63 cdv
Hi all. my 63 has developed squeaks and creaks recently. I took a look at the ball joints and associated rubber parts, and they do look a bit worn. I have replaced shocks in last year or so. When I bounce the front ends, you can hear the squeak and "feel" the squeak when you put your hand on the upper control arm. I put some oil on them to try and settle it down for temporary relief. I feel like Uncle Buck riding around with the squeek at stop lights!! the prior owners that had the car…See More

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,

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?
