HELP AND ADVICE NEEDED.
My 1964 429 has a loose water pump pulley. I have taken everything apart four times and still cannot get it to seat tight against the water pump. The shaft on the water pump is still tight with no play. I fear this vibration will ruin the bearings if I do not get this fixed. I am not driving this car until it gets repaired. The four bolts go through the fan blade, spacer , and pulley. They will not go any tighter, yet still the pulley has lots of play. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.

Thank you and I have come to the same conclusion. I have not and will not drive or start the car until the water pump is replaced. I ordered one this morning. Thank you all for your time and advice. This is an excellent website for people who love these beautiful cars!

Nothing was replaced, just noticed play in the water pump pulley. It is a non-ac car. Thanks for your advice. Will keep you posted.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
