Suspension on 63 cdv

Hi all.   my 63 has developed squeaks and creaks recently.   I took a look at the ball joints and associated rubber parts, and they do look a bit worn.  I have replaced shocks in last year or so.  When I bounce the front ends, you can hear the squeak and "feel" the squeak when you put your hand on the upper control arm.  I put some oil on them to try and settle it down for temporary relief. I feel like Uncle Buck riding around with the squeek at stop lights!!   the prior owners that had the car…See More

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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

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?
