A couple of times, float has stuck (I think) as it began to run rough just after a cold start. Noticed fuel pouring down the carburetor from the gasket between bowl and air horn. A smack with a...

With the engine warmed up, it draws about 7-8 on the gauge. We used a dwell meter and set the idle to 1000, 1050 rpms. T...

My sister has been scanning old slides from my parents slide collection and I spotted a couple of interesting photos. My Uncle's 59 when it was virtually new and my Aunt's 63 straight from the dealership. Feel free to add your photos! Allan -- Edited by Al T on Friday 14th of January 2022 01:50:54 PM

Anyone got some bulbs they have used that work? I was thinking with no mods/relays, just an electronic flasher for the fuse box. BTW, I saw a 63 Pontiac shop manual supplement on Kijiji today if anyone is looking. Thanks, Don
