Wheel alignment data
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?

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?

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

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,

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…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
