got call from shop today, the gasket around the oil filter adapter (???) was leaking and needs replace.  It apparently was independent of the oil pump 4 screw gasket that they replaced.  so i went out to see what he was talking about.  Now i dont have the manual in front of me,  but its the part, apparently that holds the oil filter, there is a gasket at top and bottom of this part,  he had it off ,so i called around a bit, fel pro didnt have it so they sent me to EGGE,, they had two gaskets, i am assuming they are correct from my description, and i told him to just send both, but my question is, if i were to search some more on some of the online sites, what would i be searching for as a description in the search,, what would the searchable term be.

Sincerely

Kim

How much oil should i pour in to prime the oil pump,,??  bout got this wrapped up,,, hopefully,, just hoping the gasket will seal and hold,, i used the permeated ultra black to adhere to the cover and a small spread to adhere to the face of the pump,,,

thanks,

Not saying this is something you should do, but I replaced my gaskets on the oil pump last year. Didn't even consider to look in the manual as the job is very easy to do. So was not aware of the pump priming. Have run the car since then and no issues at all. Maybe I get down the line...

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,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
