Do all Dual Coupling Hydramatics have torus drain back when parked for days?

  I have a 1963 Jetaway 315 4 speed Hydramatic that when it is parked for a few days the dipstick shows it is way overfull . Also when I first start it I must wait for almost a minute before it will go into any gear after a minute it works flawlessly. . I have been chasing leaks and the trans never leaks when driving or parked for 8 hours or less , After that the dipstick will show it is overfull and it leaks due to the fluid level being above the pan gasket level . I now have the pan gasket…See More

Intake crossover Block off effect on exhaust note

  I have been driving my 62 390 since Nov 1969 . I have always had stock mufflers and resonators and I enjoy the fact that it is very quiet . In 2000 I put a new dual exhaust system on it and again it was very quiet.Recently I repaired the intake manifold as the choke tube was leaking so i ordered the Olson block off Gaskets. When I started it up the exhaust note had become much more aggresive. In short I hated it !I tore it down again used stock gaskets and the sound returned to normal. I have…See More

Russ shoulds have plates made up !

  These plates could be plasma cut and a kit to adapt the TV rod to Edelbrock carbs along with the air filter adapter . I truly believe there would be a strong market for themSee More

Another advantage of the Pertronix III

Posted on November 23, 2019 at 11:12am 1 Comment

   Having tried both the II and III I can say the multispark feature of the III offers a smoother idle . It is also easier to install .Does not require removal of the distributor

'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…

upgrade turn signals on a 63 convertible

Posted by Brian Lydford on November 11, 2023 at 1:14pm 6 Comments

Hi all,

 I have a 63 series 62 convertible.

i replaced single filiment bulb holder in fin lamp, to a twin filiment.

ran a wire from the tail/stop lights to this extra filiment in the fin light.

its the pink wire on the color diagram i have. purple on passenger side.

Any how, yes it works and looks great, during the…
