Anyone ever experienced the emergency brake pedal not locking in the "engaged" position. My pedal just springs back up - it won't lock when I press it. Everything else works, meaning the brakes…Continue

Tail Light Issue
I have an issue with my left side lower bulb in the bumper end housing portion. The bulb that operates the backup light. I can't get a bulb to operate although I do get 12V when I put my tester to that center pin inside the bulb housing. I even added some solder to the tip of the bulb contact to see if the buidup would help contact, but no go. The bulb does take a bit of effort to insert as if it is contacting the spring loaded pin.DanSee More

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments 0 Likes
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 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?
