    1973 Vert driver's power window not working

    Thanks Mike & Hemikiller.  This helps a lot. Any opinion on one manufacturer over another for the parts?  Dorman, ACI, Cardone?  What's the best way to block the window up?

    Carburetor recommendations, please! - 351C, 4BBL

    Don, Thanks, great idea!  Never would have thought of cutting my own (novice here).  I'll give it a shot.  Is there a special type of steel I should use?  Any other tips on doing this? Could I go thinner or do I need the thickness for durability?  Not sure I have that much height space left to...

    Carburetor recommendations, please! - 351C, 4BBL

    Do you know if it's easy to get a 70-71 iron 4V intake? Is this doable for a novice like me?  :-/

    That's exactly what I needed to know. I wasn't sure if the 750 would be too much.  I do like the pricing on the Summit carbs (and that you recommend them)! Thanks again for your help!

    Thanks, I'll look at those.  I don't have Ram air.  Is there a particular one you would recommend to get max performance/power without additional mods?  Here's the Marti with my car specs if that helps. .

    Best way to check for vac leaks?

    FYI, I am a true novice in the mechanical arena.  My friend with the mechanical expertise helped me replace spark plugs and wires then we rebuilt the carburetor.  Didn't do anything but adjust idle after reinstalling carb.  Car started fine and idled although we didn't run it long. Next day, I...
