Gas tank on my 1964
Hi everyone,
When I originally purchased the car I had a full tank of bad fuel. I noticed there was a drain plug in the tank. I opened the plug and drained all the fuel. No issues.
Every since I reinstalled the plug I have an "ever so slight" drip. I'm thinking about pulling the plug again and reinstalling the plug with some thread sealant and some type of rubber gasket.
Anyone ever had a similar experience ? Any suggestions ?

The gas tank drain bolt (plug) is the same plug used for the oil pan and differential and came with a copper gasket. Perhaps you left it off? If it is there make sure the surfaces are clean and no burs on the copper gasket. They compress a bit each time you install and you may just need another. If you don't use copper make sure it is gasoline resistant.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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

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…
