1964 Eldorado Convertible stalls while driving.
My 1964 Eldorado convertible stalls while driving. It completely goes dead, it will not start up right away. when you turn the key there is no sound at all. After sitting for about 5 minutes, turn the key and the car starts right up. Already replace the fuel pump . It still happens. Does anyone have any idea on what may be going on?

I had a similar problem a few years ago. In my case it turned out to be the ignition switch. From what you describe it sounds like an electrical problem. Check ignition wiring. connections, components, battery cables, grounds, etc.

If you dont know the age of the battery cables, just replace them. At the ignition switch, check for blackened or darkened connectors. That indicates a loose and heated connector. Check the connector to the bottom of the fuse block also. Connection at the battery terminal on the starter needs to be check as well.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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?
