"I recently replaced my 63 SDV heater core and found a 3/4" hose at Autozone number C88368 that is very close to the original. I installed it and it went on very easy. "

Hello, My 63 convertible is a low mileage (34k) original car so while I've done some basics, like replacing radiator hoses, belts, and a few gaskets; I've been trying to leave things as is as much as possible. My heater core hose was original and had a bit of the factory blue paint over spray on it. This is the one that is routed over the top of the valve cover on the passenger side. Unfortunately the damn thing blew out the other day in 106 heat and I had to replace it. As usual the…See More

Welcome Ken! I read in your chapter email that you picked up a 63 convertible (Ken is head of the CENTRAL TEXAS CLC Chapter).

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…
