I have a series 62 1963 convertible and under the left fender, near the firewall is a vacuum tank with a "T" and 2 hoses. On e is disconnected, WHERE do it go????
Thanks

That is for the power door locks.
I guess this does directly to the intake manifold?
The large vacuum tank on firewall on left side under left fender is used for cars equipped with vacuum power trunk or vacuum power door locks. The one hose feeds straight back into the cabin for trunk lock and/or door lock operation, while the other line goes across over to the fitting on the back of the intake.
That back of intake on 63 cars usually has 3 nipples: one goes back up to the connector in center of the large forward wiring harness connector on firewall that in turn feeds Neutral Safety Switch and heat or heat/AC system; one goes up to the vacuum throttle check valve mounted to the throttle relay bracket on firewall; and the 3rd goes over to the power door lock/power trunk vacuum canister in your picture.

I noticed this issue at the end of last summer/fall, but it seems to be getting worse as I have begun driving for the season again. When I drive the car and get everything good and warmed up, if I…Continue

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…
