"Just to add a couple of comments, any 5/8" heater hose with a good dogleg bend can be used to replace the original heater hose.  The 19037 is a good substitute hose (longer than you need), but there are others. I have inserted a picture of…"

Hello,      My 63 convertible is a low mileage (34k) original car so while I've done some basics, like replacing radiator hoses, belts, and a few gaskets; I've been trying to leave things as is as much as possible.  My heater core hose was original and had a bit of the factory blue paint over spray on it.  This is the one that is routed over the top of the valve cover on the passenger side.  Unfortunately the damn thing blew out the other day in 106 heat and I had to replace it.  As usual the…See More

Hello,      I was helping a CLC friend with some of his cars last week and as I was driving his 55 coupe to another location it hesitated, stalled and quit running.  I thought it was out of gas, but it turned out that there was sufficient fuel so we hauled her back and I went to my next guess which was condenser failure.  Turned out I was right and we fired her right up after replacing that D60..  This prompted me to get a Pertronix III and install it in my 63 series 62 convertible as soon as I…See More

Welcome Ken! I read in your chapter email that you picked up a 63 convertible (Ken is head of the CENTRAL TEXAS CLC Chapter).

I can't wait to see the car...whenever we are allowed to meet in groups again.

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
