64 A/C Time Delay Switch
Hi,I am looking for a replacement for my A/C time delay switch. If anyone has one I would like to buy it. I'm trying to repair what is left of my melted one. I foolishly took it apart without taking any detailed photos. Now I'm finding it a little difficult to put back together correcty. I'm wondering if anyone has a few pics of the inner workings of the switch or an exploded diagram? I'm also not quite sure how it works. What creates the heat to close the points.The shop manual does't say much…See More
"Sounds like you may just have a bad (i.e. bent) trunk hinge. The trunk hinges and torsion (Torque) rods are different between body styles and have the one ones for your Coupe de Ville if needed. When I remove them from a parts car I remove the…"
"Thanks, it looks like the pins are in place. Looks like the torsion rod is out. Will look this week as I need two more colleagues to help me carry the trunk lid.Are the torsion rods heavy to move? Danger they come out like a spring?"
"The hinge pin migrated out. Unbolt the hinge from the trunk and undo the torsion rod on the opposite side. Tap the hinge pin back in and fold the keeper tab back in place. "
63 CdV trunk lid issues with the mechanism
Hello folks,on a drive this weekend I had to open the trunk. Used the remote in the glovebox and it popped open a bit, but further opening was very hard und slow. I stood on the side of a main street so had no time and opened it with a little force, really not much.After that the trunk lid is now crooked to one side and doesn't close anymore. Looks like the whole hinge on one side is higher than on the other. Do you think the two main pins holding the hinges inside might got bent?Is there a…See More
"As they say "better safe than sorry". I rebuilt the bottom end (block) of my 64 Coupe de Ville in 2012 and it wasn't that bad. The trickiest part for me was the oil rings. They are some finicky things. I did end up…"

"Hi Ian,
I think you are doing the right thing. Don't want to take chances, as I read your last posts. You want good compression in all eight cylinders and new push rods and lifters. Good luck with…"

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
