Neither of my cornering lights are working. I started by focusing on drivers side. I removed the entire assembly and cleaned it up, replaced the wire to the socket, cleaned and lubricated the socket and spring. Made sure light now worked by attaching directly to battery terminals. Reinstalled assembly and plugged it back in and no work. Attached a separate ground directly to the battery terminal and still no work. I checked orange power wire coming in and no power. I have the ignition turned on, signal on, headlights on and still no power to orange wire. Everything working but the corner light. Passenger side does not work either but have not done anything on that side yet. Figure one side at a time. Where should I look next. I have a manual. Thanks Larry

Ok I got the switch out and the green wire was broken at the plastic clamp. It was tricky to manoeuvre and wondered if I was missing an easier way out. Thanks for the help. I took out the steering column clamp mid way down but the steering column only came down about an inch. Is there something I am missing to get it down further or is that it. Going to be tough getting little bolts and screws back in on those cover plates.

Thats all you will get with just the top clamp removed. There is a bottom clam as well. Be farefull to not damage the steering rag joint. 

Loosened off the two bottom bolts at steering column base clamp and the two bottom floor bolt which dropped column enough to get the job done. Once again thanks to all for the tips and guidance. Larry

Congrats on the fix! ps. I have been staring at an outer T-3 headlamp on that last parts car still up on the car hauler. If it works and you still need one it has your name on it.

If he doesn't want it, I would be interested.

Tony, Larry had been waiting a long time for  good outer T3 and was next up on the Wait List. I have one other Chapter member on the list after Larry, so you would be #2 in line after Larry gets this one. I assume you need one outer T3.
I do  have 6 tested inner Hi Beam T3's for you or anyone that needs that T3 headlamp.

Thank you Jason. I ended up ordering one from Russ.

That is great. They are getting harder and harder to find. If anyone else needs the inner hi beams I have 6 and they are $15 each for Chapter Members.

I’m going to take it. We ended up talking outside the site

Dipstick seal

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

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

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…
