I rebuilt by carburetor ( holley 1920) and now it is leaking gas around the idle mixture screw and out the bottom of the carb around the gaskets when the engine is running. It didnt have a float spring in it when i took it apart but it didnt leak like that before the rebuild.

I am also new again. Glad to see it back up and running!

I have a 50 Coronet and enjoy the help and dialogue here. Now let's build the content back up!

Sometimes a fresh new start is a good thing. Anyway, Here's a couple pics. Let's get that members photo album rollin.

I own a '49 Coronet. I love this old car. Things were much simpler then and I can do most of the work myself. I have a service manual and a parts manual and a few other resources for those looking for information on their cars.

I've add Scarebird's disc brakes to the '49, dual exhaust, a holley 94 to make her breathe easier and I run a dual voltage system. (headlights, starter, brake lights, heater fan and modern radio are 12 volt. Ignition and everything else is 6 volt.) I have rebuilt a distributor with dual points but waiting on warmer weather to put her in.

If anyone has any questions about these old rides I will do my best to help.

Hi guys
Will you be migrating the old posts from the original forum into this one? There was a wealth of information on the old site that was very helpful when searching

Thanks!

Nice place. Everything looks new, but somehow feels familiar. I too was suffering withdrawal symtoms. But now that the DCR is back, no problem. We do all know Rich's problem, and like everyone else here, I would be happy to relieve Rich of some of those problems. I'll take his copper 67 RT vert and his blue 66 500 vert, and...oh, never mind, I guess I have the same problem.

On an 8 3/4 what is the best wya to get the old seals out and get new ones in.i am finally able to fix it and am excited ahah

We had this going on the old board, but for you guys that have done either on your cars could you post up the pictures before and after?

i don't have anything to say,just wanted to post something.it looked so lonely here!i do have a 69 super bee though.

Well, you guys already know my problems, at least the Mopar ones that is.

The withdrawall pains were getting the best of me. And those voices, well that's annother story.

Great to see everyone back.

Now to figure out all this new high tech stuff......
