Odometer got tired

I was coming home from the alignment shop the other day and the odometer was turning over to 40000 and stopped mid stream. Trip meter still works.

Anyone have ideas on why she quit?? I imagine it's major project trying to trouble shoot the speedo/odometer!

'63 Front end alignment

Well I just had my front end aligned yesterday. Had the tires rotated and balanced also.

l'll give the youngster doing the alignment credit for the effort he put into it. He spent most of the day, off and on, on it. But just wanted to check with you all on the results. 

First, I will say it no longer pulls to one side like it did so thats a plus. But, the steering wheel is about 1/8th turn off from center which I believe will drive me nuts after a while.

In talking to…

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 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…
