I know  carburetor action/function is very old hat to many here, but i ran across this video with a guy that built a carb out of clear material, hooked up to his dads tiller, and used a high speed camera to film the function of a carb.  It was fascinating!!  As i have never really known for sure what was going on in there, this video made it completely clear the basics of a a carburetor.  What was really interesting is the dad in the video seems to know a lot more about carbs that his engineer son!!  the high speed camera really gives it meaning and context and gave me the visual explanation my brain needs to sort things

Getting along good. Still in breakin, hvnt had a chance to do a lot of driving. I live in a rural area, and normal day to day driving as described it difficult as everywere i need to go is at hiway speed, and it says to avoid long hiway speed drives until 500 miles.

I hv about 250 miles on the breakin in.  Got the o rings for the trans dipstick put in and chged trans filter while there.  No more trans leak!  Yeah!   I hv the nss to try to fix.  Put the ac comp back in and hook up,   that would be abput it.  Probably shoukdnt say this but its really a quiet engine at idle.  Knock on wood, stays that way

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?
