convertible pump

Does anyone know which connection on the pump is used for the lower connection of the ram for the convertible hood. There is a connection on the side of the trunk and a connection on the side of the rear seat. One of the hydraulic lines has a hooked connection and i guess that goes to the lower connection of the ram. love to hear from you.

Ignition timing.

Hi Guys.

i am a bit puzzled with my timing. I installed everything according the manual. But when i fire it up flames come out of the exhaust manifolds or the carb. could i have made the 180 degrees mistake ? The timing marks can either point for the # 1 cilinder or the # 6 i believe . cees.

So i am wondering............does it still exist ?? cees.

Need help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys. as you all might know i am restoring a 1963 eldor cvt. all is going well but now i have found some trouble in the underside of the body. because of a bad repair in the past after a collision, water has started to seep in and rotted a big part of the floorpan at the right backside. it also affected the mounting point of the chassis to the body. i have removed that part but it is beyond on repair. i hope that you, and specially Russ and Jason because of all the spare parts you guys…

The end of my engine ?

Got back from THE engineshop. They had THE shortblock dismantled and found strange things in the mainbearings. Aluminum thin foil to fill the clearance. They had never seen That before. One of the pistons had à crack. The rockers were also grinded even the valves were abused. So i am disappointed and it brings extra costs.

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?

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

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…
