Brake lights

While the brake lights on my 1963 series 62 convertible do work, other drivers complain that they burn too dimly to be seen in daylight. Before  I look for more complicated causes, can anyone tell me if there is a grounding point for them in the trunk?

Ah Crap! On the hunt for an intake

64 Hey all, I'm in the process of having a guy fix the choke tube as I could hear a ticking under load like and exhaust/intake leak. Well my worst fear was realized and the intake is cracked.

So, I'm on the hunt for a good one. Anyone out there have one?? 

63 SDV w/air

I know the 62 and prior won't fit, don't figure a 64 429 would either.

63 SDV Update

Hi all. Been gone a while and suffered through a computer melt-down. What a pain in the posterior!

Well, I found another "old school" auto tech that was very familiar with the AC system on the old girl. It turns out I had a major leak at the STV(suction Throttling valve). We ordered an update kit for it off epay for $75.  This thing isn't easy to get to as its stuck between the fender and hood hinges. I guess there's an access panel on the fender well that can be removed once you take…

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK 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,

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…
