Just ordered new tires for my 63. 
As the front wheels have reasonable wear I want to align them or at least 
have them aligned, but not sure if the alignment data in our shop manual 
are still the right ones for the radial tires today?

Gutenberg Morgen Sammy,

camber radials: Left 0 degrees and Right 1/4 degrees

caster radials +2 degrees 

toe in no more than  1/8

had mine done last month ,came out really good. Good Luck 

Caster angle really positive?

For the camber it says 1/4 or 1/2 more positive on left side.

So it's different to recommendations in the shop manual.

How did you determine the values?

 Guten Morgen, sorry Sammy .my German is terrible 

Yes 

Sammy, check out the help section,look up alignment. You’ll see that there where other members who had alignments done with those adjusted numbers that have been successful for these cars with radial tires. It worked for me 

Thanks. I'm still a rookie at forums in general.

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…
