Brake lights

Posted on September 28, 2014 at 2:02pm 2 Comments

While the brake lights on my 1963 series 62 convertible do work, other drivers complain that they burn too dimly to be seen in daylight. Before  I look for more complicated causes, can anyone tell me if there is a grounding point for them in the trunk?

seat belts

Posted on April 6, 2014 at 9:30am 4 Comments

I'm lucky enough to have received a complete set of the original Hamill seat belts (Model RFC-45-B) for my '63 as a birthday present from my wife. A soak in an ammonia solution along with some polish cleaned them up nicely, but as nice as they look, they don't function. Has anyone had any luck in freeing up the webbing that passes through the chrome receiver? Because the webbing is stuck the belts can't be adjusted.

Thanks,

Joe Rabbene

tilt steering/ horn trouble

Posted on May 18, 2013 at 8:50am 1 Comment

I installed a tilt steering column from a 63 Caddy parts car in my 63 convertible and am having trouble with the horn. Does anyone recall if there are spacers, insulators, or washers around the plastic backed, brass horn ring? I can't tell from the service bulletin, but the horn shorts out and the contact ring is the location of the short. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
