Default NEW from TX
Hello everyone, name is Rudy and I'm from Fort Worth. I recently picked up a somewhat running 63 belair with a 350 and TH400 tranny.

Glad you joined us and brought a bit of history Rudy. Body looks to be in good condition too. Why do it not run?

After a complete fuel system cleaning/replacing parts & a carb rebuild I got it to run. Sounds great except for an extremely loose rocker arm. Looks like I may have to pull the head though...

You are experiencing the joys of owning an old Chevy. They pay off in huge dividends though, like the stares at an older car and old farts like me asking questions.
