Over the many weeks we have had the Sunday chat at 6pm Eastern / 3 pm Pacific it has been rare that we have had more than 3 or 4 members online and in recent weeks we have been lucky to have 2 or 3 or any at all.

I think the low participation is due in large part because it is still early in the day Sunday and many of us are still out doing what we do on weekends.

Personally, I  am thinking a 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific chat time might be better? That would eliminate the possibility from any in the UK of joining in since it would be 2am UK time, but we might be able to get more of us here in the US on the chat after we have settle in at home after our Sunday activities.  We could also consider an alternate time for a UK/European chat if there was enough interest.

The Message Board where we post a comment or question and someone else replies later as they have time (as we also do with personal email), is better suited for most of the Q&A posts here on the site, however, it doesn't give you the instant, informal interaction we have with the chat room. I remember some of the early chats with several members on hand it they can be quite fun and informative and a great way to get to know each other.

I do not want to beat a dead horse and if the chat room is not worth pursuing I don't mind turning it off but wanted to get other opinions regarding perhaps shifting the hours to a later time frame, or even perhaps a different day. Maybe a Sunday or even an mid week chat makes more sense.  In fact we could setup a 9pm EST/6pmPST Sunday and Wednesday chat and see if members gravitate to either day and drop the one (or both) that we don't have any participation

With that said, I'm all ears an do appreciate your honest opinion.

thanks, Jason.

  Jason, I was thinking later would be better , the weather is still great out here and I am out in the garage most of the day on the weekends, A weeknight might be the way to go too. That way you get to have your weekend also.   Thanks for all you do   Marty

Great input. Let's hear from everyone!

I believe a later start would be good.  Also a follow-up email on Sunday would help.

Although I think the Sunday chat is valuable, I am usually so busy on Sunday that I am unable to participate.  If it moved to 9PM eastern US, alas, I still would not be able to participate.  But, again, I wanted to weigh in to say that I think it's a good idea even though my schedule presents a conflict.  Thanks to all.

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,

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…
