Won't keep running

Hi guys, my 64 coupe starts just fine but won't keep running unless I hold the accelerator half way and when I do that I can hear a few little "pops" in the carb any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thanks Jim

exhaust resonator

Hi guys,I purchased what I thought was a complete exhaust system from Classic Exhaust 3 or 4 years ago and put it in the garage without opening the box when it arrived and just now getting to it and found that there is no resonator.My question is what is the purpose of the resonator and do I really need it.

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,

-Samu

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?
