SK replied to Logan Robb's discussion Brake wheel cylinder bore
"Hi Logan According to the shop manual, the front cylinders have a larger bore (1-3/16”) compared to the rear cylinders (1”). This makes sense, as the front brakes play a larger role in stopping the car. Additionally, RockAuto sells…"

Tilt colum felt seal

Hi,the steering shaft of my 63 tilt steering column does not have any support at the lower (steering box) end (see the pic below).I think I have lost the felt seal shown in the manual (the lower pic). If so, I need one, so is there a reproduction available or does someone have a good used one? If the felt seal is just a rubber bushing, the measures could be enought. Measured on the column, the shaft seems to be 3/4” and the column (maybe) 1 3/16”. But how tall is the shaft?Many thanksSamu…See More

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted 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,

Temperature gauge not working properly

Posted on March 23, 2022 at 2:43pm 7 Comments

The temperature gauge of my 63 Eldorado does not work properly.

It goes slowly all the way up and stays there, while the true temperature is around 155-160 F (water in the radiator and/or the top of the thermostat housing).

Where should I start to solve the problem? The gauge itself, the temperature sensor, or the wiring? Or something else? The sensor is a new (aftermarket part)…

What is the color of this 63 Eldorado - aquamarine or green?

Posted on October 24, 2021 at 2:33pm 2 Comments

Hi, 

I really like the color combination of this 63 Eldorado (sold long time ago by Volocars).

The ad states aqua exterior and green interior but unfortunately there is no pic on the cowl tag.   

Is the exterior color ’Frost aquamarine’ and interior ’Beryl’?

Or is the exterior green, ’Frost green’ and interior ’Emerald’?

-Samu…

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 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…
