Just to add I went back and read the instruction on the Flamethrower III ignition coil and it states:
"Spark Plug Gap
In stock applications, the manufacturer's recommended spark plug, and spark plug gap will work best. For performance applications, the spark plug gap may be increased up to 0.010" from manufacturer's specifications to take advantage of the extra energy, produced by the Flame-Thrower III Coil."

If you are running a Flamethrower II or III coil with higher potential voltage you can increase the plug gap. I think I went from .035 to .040. If you are running a stock coil I would keep at stock plug gap.

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?
