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 about it at all.

Thank you in advance!Jeff

I have one on my parts car, send me an email please; russ@thecadishack.com

The contacts close by mechanical leverage. The C shaped piece of metal provides the leverage.

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,
