The car was running fantastic today as we cruised down to the Clayton Harvest Festival Car Show and since I knew it might be a while before I can drive it as I replace the exhaust I changed out the metering rods to 4% richer for both cruise mode and power mode. As good as it ran earlier now with the new richer metering rod jet configuration it is really running incredible. I took it for one last spin before I start removing the custom dual exhaust and it is just really running great. It will be funny to hear it nice and quite when I get the new exhaust system installed, but couldn't help taking it out for one last blast before I start the change-out. Just to back up a bit, when I had went from the ignitor II setup to the Ignitor III setup I returned the carb configuration to stock to get an ideal of how the richer jets might improve with the III setup and it really makes a big difference!

The engine now has 347 miles on it (162,278 on the car), and changes the oil for the first time since the rebuild. I had planned to wait until 500 miles were on the engine but was anxious to change it now that I had least have some miles on it. I'm running regular "on sale" 10W30 oil and wills switch to a semi-sythetic or all synthetic after 1000 miles are on the engine...which at my rate will be some time! :-)

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
