Having a quiet Saturday afternoon, I decided to see if my '64 will burn rubber off of a stop light. Well, it certainly does, and how! :-D"

"I did it with my first '64 Sedan deVille my parents gave me. I was 18, and I loved that car. It had the original Carter AFB and wasn't 'hopped' up, but I could burn rubber at a light. Such is youth!

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?
