This is often done by a machine shop when refreshing the heads as all the valve…"

And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

V.I.N. where?
Posted by Robert Pellow on April 18, 2021 at 1:41pm 6 Comments 1 Like
Where can I find the V.I.N. on a 63 convertible? The usual space at the base of the interior windshield on the driver's side has been decimated by weather.
