Hi all, I'm wrapping up my interior restoration (slight custom) and the last part I need for the doors are the vent window handles.  The ones I have are pitted so I need new ones and I'd like originals or authentic reproductions.  Can anyone post a few pics of what the originals are supposed to look like?  The parts book list # 4846161 for 1959 thru 1964 front door ventilator handle.  I attached a few pics of what I have now, which seem to be aftermarket ??? with part number PT5712744 cast into them.  Note the curved  shape is different than ones I've seen online, so I'm curious to know what the originals look like and if they are reproduced.

Thanks!

Yours look original. Casting #'s and Part #'s are often not the same. I will have some better for $20 each but not new, NOS, mint condition. They will have some sprinkling but less than yours. Email me at jasonedge@nc.rr.com if you want 2 of my best VG used.

This is an original vent window handle.  I have plenty, and several that are in great condition.   Shoot me an email to;  russ85747@hotmail.com   if you would like one.

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!

'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…
