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
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,

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?
