Need Advice re Which Belts to purchase. My AC belt is screeching off and on and I see that the adjustment is maxed out-which leads me to believe that the belt is stretched. That being the case, I want to replace ALL belts on my 64 with Factory /AC and FACTORY 7 bladed fan with NO Fan Clutch. The belts that are on there now are: AC -Gates 7560xl; Alt -Gates 7525xl; Power Steering- Goodyear 15515. What have y'all had best results with? Thanks

The Gates 7560 would be correct for the fan and AC compressor belt. I keep a few of these new on hand ($10) if you have any problem finding a replacement. In fact I have a good stock of the fan and alternator w/AC belt (7525), fan and alternator wo/AC belt (7560), fan & power steering pump belt (15508) all $10 if any one has trouble finding any of these.

My reservoir is a little low. Any recommendations on my purchase of refill fluid? There are likely new fluids and I’d like to buy the right product. Thanks. Continue

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like

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…
