"Nice work! I'm sure I'll probably have to tackle this as well soon. Were you able to get this done with the car just on jack stands? "

"Jason,  This is AWESOME!  In fact, going forward, anytime anyone asks about driveline vibration, I’d almost always suggest this be the first thing they check.  When you sold me the used transmission, I bought a new rear mount.…"

Dino Diaries - July 11, 2025 - Busted!

So I am starting to crawl around under Dino seeing what I can fix or upgrade and as I was putting the trans linkage in a few nights ago, the rear trans mount caught my eye. I remembered that these 64 THM rear mounts should lift the rear up a bit but it sure looked flat. I had a sneaky suspicion the rear mount was flattened or busted.  The thing about the rear mount is it can affect the driveline angle and cause vibration, so it does more than just support the transmission.Last night I rolled…See More

Bleeding brakes

I have finished replacing all the rear suspension and am at the last item, which is bleeding the rear brakes. I am using the Jason Edge vacuum pump method and all went well with the rear passenger side but when I started the driver rear, no fluid came out when I opened the bleeder!When I took it apart there was fluid in the line. Now what should be done? Do I check the line from the splitter to the hose? Or is there another check before just replacing the control valve?See More

Russ Austin replied to Mack's discussion Getting hot when going fast…
"Although the engine runs better at advance timing, it creates excessive heat that the cooling system can not get rid of. Bring the timing back to 5 deg. Elevation has noting to do with the timing. You can fatten up the carbs jets if you want."

Getting hot when going fast…

So… I do have a few of 63 Coupes, all have same setup with carbs, Pertronix, shroud, new US Radiator radiators etc … but only one of them gets a bit hot when I am hauling faster than 60mph and car has no problems going 80-90mph, the thing is that unlike my other 63s this one gets hotter, temp goes in between a quarter-half mark on temp gauge! On top of that the plate under the steering wheel, steering column etc get hot as well so ambient heat under the hood is high! of course I do hustle and…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

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…
