water pumps
my pump has gone out again in 63, 390. I dont know why, either too tight a belt or something else, been 2 or three since rebuild and 13k miles.. it was a gates unit. it seems for a while the cordone unit was the only one out there with the enclosed impeller but apparently, they are no longer available anywhere, even there company site doesn't list them. While searching, I found that rock auto now has a supplier with the enclosed impeller, https://www.usmotorworks.com/catalog/ through rock auto.. may give it a try,, anyway, its just for info as the enclosed impeller has been hard to come by, not sure it makes a difference, but I think its what was on the original motors..

The enclosed impeller is what was on the original water pumps. What are you putting in your radiator? The coolant acts as a lubricant for the water pump.

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,

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…
