Hi.
Update:
I removed both 7 nipple vacuum valves and called my buddy who owns a machine shop. Tomorrow we'll re-surface the valve faces and then I'll reinstall them. HOWEVER, the one that comes out easily and comes apart with no rivet is on the Power module side. It installs on one side with a small bolt, and on the other it is held on by a clip, WHICH IS MISSING ON MY CAR. I am going to assume it is the same clip that is used on the Control Module side. Anybody got one? Happy to pay for it.
Thanks
Norm

I'm really stumped on where to tap the threads for the 4-40 screw and whether to try to do it in a way that holds the original arrangement with a rectangular clip that holds the rivet head on and provides tension between the halves. Has anybody done this repair? If yes, how?
Thanks
Noted. I want the machine shop guy to drill out the rivet and tap the old rivet head (large side) for the screw that will replace it. I intend to do the re-surfacing. The valve on the power piston side looks real good and has lubricant in it. I imagine it is still good, but I'll re-surface it anyway-a little bit.
Thanks!

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,

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…
