Does anyone have a picture of where the Transducer mounts. I removed my dash pad to try and figure out why when when i call for defrost the fan is blowing but nothing is coming out of vents anywhere and found the transducer hooked up but just laying behind the glove box. So I guess two questions. Mounting the transducer and help with the venting problem. Thanks

Larry, See picture below. Note that the defrost door is the one door in 64 with the Comfort Control System still controlled by a Bowden cable connected to the main dash switch. When you slide the defrost lever, the Boden cable moves the defrost door to route hot air from the floor ducts to the dash defrost duct or vice versa. The Transducer & Power Servo control the temp door which directs air through the outside AC evaporator or heater core. So, if your heater is working and you move the defrost control on the dash unit, it should move the defrost door and air blows out of top dash. If hot air is coming out bottom but then nothing when you move the lever, you might have something blocking the ducts up top, or might be disconnected, etc. Make sure that Bowden cable is connected to the door pin over on the air box to make the door move.

See picture below showing defroster door connection (where Bowden cable connects), defroster door (one off one on), power servo and transducer.

This picture shows the defroster Bowden cable attached to Dash Master Control. This attaches to the purple arrow location to control the defroster door.

Thanks Jason  that picture help a lot.

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!

'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…
