OK, thought we had someone new. For the most part nothing is different as far as manual goes. In general, for all 62 verses 63 carbs, the 62 has a smaller jet and smaller needle, the 62 has a fresh air port (not vacuum) that hooks to the throttle retarder, the 63 has a “tower” on the float cover that is for the vent. I am assuming that they found…[Read more]

Sorry, Updated my photo…. I’m Ken Dennison’s Son…. 63 Jetfire

But my question was in regards to the difference in years, What is the difference between the 62 and 63 stick carbs?

The manual transmission cars have a vacuum port on the carburetor for the vacuum advance on the distributor where the automatic cars did not have this port. The automatic cars vacuum advance hooked to the intake manifold port. They also had a manual choke instead of a automatic choke.

Can I ask the differences between the 62 and 63 stick carbs?

Pretty Car!!
I’d own it proudly!!!

After researching this car, it seems every flipper this car went through has done some type of work on it to make more money. It shows this car is far enough from original condition to not be able to be called a “survivor or original ” A survivor has all original paint and components. A lot of cars have original interior and that’s all this car h…[Read more]

Did you see the YouTube video from Hershey last fall? Can you post it? I need to learn how to post links.
The Classic Car Ad is almost word for word plagiarized from my Ad 3 years ago

The under hood black I am not sure about. The back hood hinge bolts are correct color but the front on both sides are black. As far as the springs, Both of my cars have painted springs and are original. My trunk lid mounting bolts are painted body color also on both cars. Not sure if there was a difference for 63? The 63 I got out of Iowa was…[Read more]

Interesting, under hood is re-painted black. Heater and everything has been painted over, cowl tag is painted and hood springs are painted over. Turbo repainted silver.
Just a few small things have been changed:
Battery cables wrong, yes exhaust is very wrong.
Blue TRF, should be white, so not original juice.
Wrong dip stick (hard to find an…[Read more]

Stamps came in

I never finished the story on my radiator. I had a thin coat of paint on the radiator the day I got it home but it was humid and turned the paint milky. I later painted it again and had a couple cans of engine paint. Turned out that they must have had some paint mixed up on the shelf because one of the cans was interior vinyl paint. I did not…[Read more]

I have not been able to get time to go out to the body guys house. My wife sent me out shopping for groceries today and bumped into a friend of my body guys. He said that it was getting painted the final coat today! I don’t think that counts the white top but not sure. I am sad because I wanted more pictures of his work at his place.
