Hi Joe,
The dwell angle is usually set from 28 to 30 degrees. Pretty sure that is equivalent to .016 with a flat gauge by hand. Just make sure your dwell gauge is still accurate - mine was not. If the points and condenser are not one piece, you can get the flat gauge in there with the points on the HIGH spot of the cam.

You're welcome, Joe. Use the flat gauge to be sure (.016) it is accurate. I picked up a used Dwell meter on Ebay and had it checked with my friend's to be sure. Talk soon.

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

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?
