While replacing the clutch, I decided to replace some gaskets and wheel cylinders. The right axle was missing the bolt that holds the yoke on and when I remove the dust / grease inboard seal, I found shims working their way out under the snap ring! The left axle does not have any shims ( that I can ...

Clark's list a different mount for 63 64 and 65. Which should be in my car??

My early model has a 63 body, with a 64 transaxle, and a 65 motor. I needed to pull the power train to replace the clutch and while cleaning up the mounting components, I noticed that the one transmission mount bolt can be moved up and down with the rubber while the other mount's bolt is ridgid. I g...

Thanks for the help.
I have purchased new back half of the front fenders from Clark's and found some .060 sheet metal at a freind's shop. If my attempts to restore that area of the car are not to ugly, I will post them.

Does anyone have a picture of what this area should look like, including under the recker panel???

I do not know the importance of these structures??? I am refreshing this 63 and when I cut off the lower front fenders, I discovered the rust went beyond the outer sheet metal. I dugout all the dead leaves etc. that was in the inner area and caused the rust.my question is, are these areas required f...

The PO of my 63 coupe has had it's engine changed out to a 1965 110 hp. After some time he had a valve sucked in and replaced the heads with 140 hp ones. ( now have 4 carbs) I removed the mufflers and was putting a Clark's ( c1046r) u pipe on to hot adjust the lifters when I found the exhaust manifo...

Thanks wbabst, your reply is what I was hoping for. It is just that the engine is not smooth at 650 rpm ( my miss ) and I have replaced wires, plugs, vacuum hoses, rotor, distributor cap, had carbs rebuilt and adjusted(?) , and replaced after market linkage to original design! My 65 idles is so smoo...

I know that tempreture readings are not "normally" done in diagnosing a 50-year-old automobile, and I am very appreciative of all the help that I have received from this forum!!! :ty: I guess the 37 years of gas turbine experience that I have, working on 10,000 HP to 110 MW gas turbines in...

Topic was door dismantling in the 1/5/16 post

Check my post of Jan 5 2016, I think it will help!

I have been chasing an idel problem that I thought was a bad primary carb. The carb in question was moved from right side to the left side, then sent to a shop for rework and after reinstalling it on the left side, the idel came down to 600 rpm but I still had a slight miss. I shot tempretures at th...

Thanks Brad, I used the link and the best view was on page 14 of 17. It was generic in nature and I still could use a little clarification. Item B in my picture is item 13 in view part number 3867211 left secondary. Item D in my picture is item 12 in view part number 3867205. It should show an adjus...

It depends where you live. In Houston the winter temperature averages about 53 degrees. So the engine warms up quickly and you don't need much of a heater (except for the defroster) ? Neither my 63 140 hp nor my 65 110 hp have them and my chokes open in two or three minutes. If you live where it get...

The PO put adjustable linkage on all four carbs. I wanted, located and purchased a set of original style linkage. It came in today but was not labeled! I believe the adjustable one D is for the left primary but not sure of the others . Can / will someone help and tell me which one goes where??

Well my problem was one of the primary carbs was not working at idel. Wolfe enterprises clean it up and now I am ideling at 600 rpm.
