Over 500 Website Members!

We have now signed up over 500 members to our still quite new Website which went public August 9 this past year.  I was worried about how well the transition would go from the old Multiply Site, however, I must say that I have been very pleased by the enthusiasm and support.  I couldn't have imagined we will have over 500 members on our new site in just over 5 months.

I…

Chapter Newsletter on the Way!

I made a late start on a Nov/Dec Chapter newsletter but hope to (MAKE THAT HAVE TO) finish in a couple of days. One thing that came about working on it and wanting to more closely match the website, is that I ended up tweaking the website header a bit by making the CLC and Chapter Logo's bolder, adding a matching gold border to our main center logo and going back to a white background for the main logo. I thiing our logos are more pronounced and there is no mistaken who we are when…

For Sale - 1963/1964 Valve Covers: Cleaned, Bead Blasted, primed - $40 each or $75 a pair

I just posted a picture of 17 of my valve covers I had taken to machine shop to be vatted, and bead blasted.  I primed all but 4 with Rustoleum Hi Temp Engine Primer, and primed the last 4 with VHT Engine Primer which Auto Zone seems to carry now instead of the Rustoleum Engine Paints. I had never used VHT paint and it seemed to go on a really nice..maybe as good as the Rustoleum.

I've got about $7.50 invested in each valve cover at the machine shop not to mention my paint and time…

Tonights Project - Valve Covers!

I just got back 21 vatted and bead blasted valve covers from the machine shop and was in the garage priming and painting a few of them tonight and thought I would add a picture of the correct Cadillac Blue thanks to the Bill Hirsch 1949 to 1976 Cadillac Blue Paint.

I"m a big fan of Rustoleum Engine Paint and Primer so these were first primed with Rustoleum Engine Primer, then 2 coats of Bill Hirsch Engine Paint.

Note: As most of you know, there is a nice sweet spot between…

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…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
