Replacing my wiper motor and now looking through a small access hole at a clip holding the motor to the arms. Hi do I remove the clip? Pull out or up? Do this through the small access hole or need to remove the wiper arm chrome shroud? Tool recommendations? All tips are appreciated. Thanks Larry

I think you can get to that clip from the plug at top, but I always just unscrew the 3 screws holding the wiper motor assembly to the firewall, and pull that rear section forward enough to get a small serrated nut that holds the lever to back of the motor. You will need a 7/16" wrench, helps to have a bend, and as you get close reach and turn nut with your fingers. I am always nervous I will drop it, but with 59/60 parts cars have never dropped it. I am a bit nervous because I know that nut thread size is 1/4"-28, which is the less common fine thread comparted to the 1/4"-20 thread. I have those nuts but not an unlimited supply. When the nut is off the lever is often still 'stuck" to the motor but easy to pop off with a screwdriver. Just remember your orientation of things when you reinstall. See picture of nut and area I am referring to:

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?

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

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…
