"Hi It is necessary to check if the crank is worn so much that the gap between crank and bearing is too big. You can measure that with Plastigauge but yes, that requires opening the motor. If engine is worn, you need to use non-std size main…"

Comfort Control working as it should

Hi friends,after checking all the functions of my Comfort Control of my 1964 Fleetwood, everything is working as it should. The control of the temperature is working really well, except one thing... When the car is in idle on a traffic light or driving very slowly, the voltage of the alternator drops about 1.5 volts and the transducer does its job correctly and is switching to warm. On a hot summer day this is not very funny. I always have to shut off the A/C. If I raise the idle a little bit,…See More

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

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…
