4 window vs. 6 window sedan

Stupid question of the day.  I know that the 6 window sedan has an extra set of stationary vent windows in front of the B pillar, and the 4 window sedan just has the front vent windows.  I  have never figured out which windows they are referring to in order to come up with the 4 and 6 numbers.  I know someone will ask me the question sooner or later when my car is displayed at shows as a 6 window sedan, and I really don't have an answer to that. It seems to me that the 4 window actually has 3 windows on each side, and the 6 window actually has 4,

Hmm, good question. My guess is that the stationary windows in the rear are considered "windows" and vent windows are not. Fleetwood 60 Specials actually have vent windows in the rear but that model is not a "6 window sedan".

I saw this in the newsletter Jason recently posted. The fixed position rear quarter windows are the 2 additional windows .

Thank-you, Kurt.  That's the info I was looking for.  I did read the newsletter, but missed that important point.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

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

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…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
