"Hi Jeff,
When I pulled my clock last year, I removed the clock and disconnected the hot wire off and removed the light by twisting it out. I had the clock repaired by Clock Works and they sent it back fixed. I did not…"

Thank you for your tip. I bought the jar opener and the clock popped out easily. Now I have another question. Does the spade connector with a pinkish colored insulator on the back of the casing screw out or should it just pull off. After…"

Hello Everyone,I tried to remove my clock today and couldn't seem to get it to rotate more than a 16th to an 8th of an inch. I followed the instuctions in the manual (counterclockwise approximately 60*). Maybe I don't have enough strength for that sort of thing anymore. I'm wondering how much torgue it takes to get it to rotate out. I looked at some pictures and have an idea of how the clock is attached to the bezel, I also noticed that the bezel is attached to the cluster frame by only 2…See More

"If it were my car, I would buy a newer version of the originals. Better output and you know it is new or rebuilt. Finding a NOS would be near impossible and it will have 60 year old seals."
1964 AC Compressor
Hi,I just had my Automatic Climate Control changed over to R134 and everything worked well but the refrigerant leaked out over night. It turns out my compressor leaks. I'm wondering what the best solution would be. Get my unit rebuilt, buy a rebuilt unit off the shelf or try to find a NOS unit? Does anybody want to weigh in? I also need to know the best places for the service needed or part. ThanksJeffSee More

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
