door jam switch
These are from the door jams. They are a weak link and the "ON OFF" function is iffy
Inside there is a moving contact that is 1) Oxide and 2) has less "spring" original
How can the oxidation be stripped off - it is very small and I would prefer not using an eraser. Anybody have solution?
How can I increase the "Spring" - It seems to no touch the contacts well enough
Any hints?? Thanks

Vinegar or slightly stronger citric acid will clean the contacts. Make sure to rinse with baking soda/ water mixture after.

Hi, Thanks - I totally understand

Soak the parts in CLR cleaner for 30 minutes and rinse well. The copper contact can be adjusted to have the fingers press harder against the contacts.

Finally got around to cleaning and re-lubricating the seat transmission. Now, it works flawlessly

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great!

I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
