San Diego Newbie

Hello everyone my name is Justin Malson and i just got a 64 Dodge Dart GT a couple months ago. My friend's cousin is a member on here and told me i should sign up. I am new to the whole classic car thing so i hope to get some help and good advice from here. I just had the engine rebuilt and the car is running pretty good. I do have a couple minor problems though. I was told that i need a new carb. and that could be why the engine feels like its flooding sometimes when i hit the gas. Also it is hard to start first thing in the morning another possable reason for a new carb.. Another little issue is that the person i got the car from had cusoized the linckage for the gas pedal because the original one broke. So if anyone has suggestions on where i can get some of that stuff that would be cool. Also if anone knows of any local clubs here in San Diego that i could get into that would be cool too.
