Back when i was at home, i had noticed a minor vibratiin at abot 10 to 15 mph from a redlight. I didnt think much of it till i got back to MT. I had my friend down street who helps ne take it for a quick ride. He got back and said it was driveshaft. He crawlwd under there and pushed around while in neutral and it had a loose feel and knocked or clicked as if worn. I told him i didnt think they were repairable on these cars per several post. But then remebered Anders recently did one but was sure if condition warranted same repair. The driveshafy is 178k old so im guessing it coukd be worn. I read. Anders tuttorial and haviing done any driveshaft stuff, my neighbor is gonna help me and educate me along the way. So is there a list of items from Anders repair that i can begin to search for parts ? Or any other suggestions.

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,

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…

since im in the middle of this, thought I would throw what I found over at this thread as well. my DS stud balls had gotten misshapen, ( not my balls!!!!) and the needle bearings had worn into and left impressions in some of the stems were the caps slid over the U Joint. decided to replace both balls and all 5 u joints,,, dont worry, not doing all this myself, I have help.
but finding the parts was interesting. I used Clovis link to a Buick site and just ordered kit, no idea if it will fit but used the 62 to 71 Buick dates, and will see what shows up,
then went to Fort Wayne drive and clutch and tried to put in Cadillac, year, model etc and there system would not work or pull up our year. so I found Clovis part number and stuck it in and it pulled up two items,, a stud ball and centering kit and a centering kit, both with same part number. Product looks same except for one has the ball in it, Its currently available. but the other kit, same part number without the ball, is not available so. I should also note, as Clovis said, its fitment description is several Buicks and the 63 through I think 67 caddy. So I both three sets of the ones with the ball, in case of disaster and also the one from the Buick place, just to see if it was the same part. the link to the page with the two parts packages is https://fortwayneclutch.com/?s=211011X&post_type=product&ti...
