"I installed the same gear as H E sells. It seemed to only go in one way with no room for adjustment but it's possible I got it wrong. No idea.....! I'll have to take it out again and take a look. Thanks for the feedback. "

Jeff Donaldson replied to James Barnes's discussion Gear for power vent window
"Sorry. It opens to 90* not 45. My original passenger vent opens to about 105* as yours do Kurt. I'm pretty sure that I installed the aftermarket gear correctly but maybe not. Has anyone else had the same 90* result after installing the…"

"Spray some WD40 around the insulator and it should gently pry out. At worse if it breaks, you can match it up with one of those rubber insulators you can get in the fastener section of Home Depot or Lowes. You might also have it in a warm room or…"

Jason Edge replied to Jeff Donaldson's discussion Clock Removal
"Dennis is correct on all accounts, especially about disconnecting battery. I will add that with the dash pad off I have never met a clock I couldn't get a grip and turn our by hand. With dash pad on you really don't have much room to get a…"

Clock Removal

Hello Everyone,I tried to remove my clock today and couldn't seem to get it to rotate more than a 16th to an 8th of an inch. I followed the instuctions in the manual (counterclockwise approximately 60*). Maybe I don't have enough strength for that sort of thing anymore. I'm wondering how much torgue it takes to get it to rotate out. I looked at some pictures and have an idea of how the clock is attached to the bezel, I also noticed that the bezel is attached to the cluster frame by only 2…See More

"If it were my car, I would buy a newer version of the originals. Better output and you know it is new or rebuilt.   Finding a NOS would be near impossible and it will have 60 year old seals."

1964 AC Compressor

Hi,I just had my Automatic Climate Control changed over to R134 and everything worked well but the refrigerant leaked out over night. It turns out my compressor leaks. I'm wondering what the best solution would be. Get my unit rebuilt, buy a rebuilt unit off the shelf or try to find a NOS unit? Does anybody want to weigh in? I also need to know the best places for the service needed or part. ThanksJeffSee More

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 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?
