I was checking out your coolant reservoir looks good,You should have the positive battery terminal covered in the case of an accident it will cause a dead short which may lead to a fire and we don’t want that to happen.happy motoring 😀"
"I used a Dorman 603-001 coolant reservoir, and you will see a 6-connection fuse block I mounted under it for power to the headlight relays and eventually a four way flasher power. I drilled thru 3/8" bolts as spacers for the reservoir. The…"

"Michael, You would remove the intake manifold and replace the gaskets with the block off style gasket, or you could use regular gaskets and just cut a piece of tin and place over the exhaust crossover port on each side. I also removed the heat riser…"
"Thanks for the reply Chris. This sounds like a good approach to addressing the performance issue while retaining as much originality / authenticity appearance in the engine compartment as possible. Did you actually replace the intake…"

"You know advice is worth what you pay for it. I am charging you nothing for this. The edelbrock carb 1406 is what is on mine. It is electric choke. It has larger secondaries and my intake is cut with larger holes to deal with…"
"My recommendation is to switch to an electric choke. I don’t have a brand or model number for you as mine came with the Edelbrock carb when I replaced it. Anyway the power to the choke needs to come from the ignition which has 12 volts on it…"

You are welcome. Hope it helps.

"Thanks for the info Dennis. I will pass this along to my mechanic. "
"Hi Michael,
That internal choke tube is quite a delicate operation. For my 64 - Series 62, the coolant has to drained, the carburetor removed, and the intake manifold taken off. Once the manifold is carefully removed,…"

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
