Anyone ever experienced the emergency brake pedal not locking in the "engaged" position. My pedal just springs back up - it won't lock when I press it. Everything else works, meaning the brakes…Continue

"There may be fasteners still on the frame. If I remember correctly, the lines ran along the center of the car along the X frame member. Ahead of the differential on the frame there is a fitting that allowed for the lines to run to the left and right…"

"Thanks guys. Yeah, should have referred to it as the parking brake. Yep, when I first got the car the brakes didn't work so driving the car on and off the trailer I used the parking brake to stop the car. Once I rebuilt the brake system and had…"

"A simple neutral safety switch adjustment may correct the issue. The adjustment procedure is in the shop manual (hopefully you have one). Not a terribly difficult job but you will be laying on the floor of the car reaching upward. You may want to…"

"I pressed the pedal down this morning with the engine off and it stayed engaged. Once I started the car and put it in gear the E-brake popped up as it should. I just can't keep it engaged while thew car is running and parked for some reason."

"Is that the case with the engine off? As you may know, the parking brake has a vacuum release that automatically releases the brake when it is not in Park or Neutral. The vacuum line comes from the Neutral safety switch. That said, the release…"

Tail Light Issue

I have an issue with my left side lower bulb in the bumper end housing portion. The bulb that operates the backup light. I can't get a bulb to operate although I do get 12V when I put my tester to that center pin inside the bulb housing. I even added some solder to the tip of the bulb contact to see if the buidup would help contact, but no go. The bulb does take a bit of effort to insert as if it is contacting the spring loaded pin.DanSee More

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

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!

accumulator dryer

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

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…
