My grandfather's name scribbled on the back of the Borg clock sometime back when it was last serviced probably circa the 70's.

A couple of comments here. There were actually two different internal workings to the Westclox clocks. Then obviously the internal workings of the Borg clock are different. I don't have a handle on the reliability of the 3 styles and which one was better. I do find it interesting that the Borg cycle time for the rewind function is 2 minutes versus the 1-minute rewind cycle in the Westclox. Maybe it has to do with how much spring each company designed into the workings of the clock. Anyway, yes I would be glad to take any parts as spares, even the one that has the knob and glass cannibalized off of it because I have spares of those parts and I might be able to put together a working clock of all those spares. I am going to be at the Grand National in June so you could just bring the parts to Albuquerque if you want. I also plan on bringing any working clock that I might have to the Grand National. Pat
Chris, Cool to have your grandfathers writing on the clock. That is some Cadillac Family Heritage there. I am sure Chapter Member Pat Westphal would appreciate the other clock as a donor for parts. I believe he said once we included his "free clock exchange for Chapter members" he was a bit overwhelmed with requests and I believe running out of spares. I had sent him post of my spares.
Hey Tony, yes it's pretty interesting that they used two different companies to produce these clocks. I actually picked up a Westclox a few years back just to steal the knob off of it. I was thinking about donating it to the guy in our group that said he was fixing these for free, but it needs a new glass and now the knob I cannibalized off of it as well as fixing whatever else is wrong with it.

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!

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…
