Im into removing door panel for water barrier and tge dand maual vent handle will not budge. I dnt see any screw holding it on the threaded stem, and other than forcibly prying off, which hasnt fared well either, i dnt know what to do and dnt wat to break the plastick handle, nor did i see any direct book instructions. Am i missing something?

Check the shop manual, it should state how to remove the handle
I call myself reading it. In the body section under doors, guess i missed it. I hv since found an old article on the site about a spatula tool. Found one at store, will try it
Harbor Freight $6.99 for the set, use tool on right for vent handle.
i found one at oreilly,
i found a you tube video, guy used this tool on 60s GM windows,, he slid it over the handle, and it worked in about 1 second,, mine,, however did not, i saw the clip he was pushing down in his video, but apparently, the clip in mine had gotten stuck or somehow turned, long story short, after wedging pushing twisting prying for 4 hours, it came off..i could see where the clip had gotten stuck, i was almost at he point of cutting off as it simply would not move and pushing and pulling that clip was not working, finally, caught it with vise grips needle nose and pulled it out.. hand came off,, real pain in the azz.. ,, got the paper off, wire brushed the bottom of the inside of door, vacuumed it out, and paint with a good coat of rust in hibitor on the inside bottom.. just surfrace rust mostly,, but, got it out and re sprayed,
not in any hurry to do other side after all that,,
Old cars are definitely a labor of love. I find that beer and classic rock helps keep the calm in my garage.
The good news is that re-installing them is easy. Just put the clip back on the handle into the groove it came out of, and push the handle back onto the shaft until the clip clicks back into place. Good luck on the other side!

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?

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

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…
