"Hi Joel,
I read that you checked the fuel filter so this advice may be useless. I had a 67 Eldorado with the same problem which has the same fuel delivery system. I made the mistake of putting a fuel filter in for a non A/C car. I went through all…"

"I used Raybestos for the brake shoes. Ordered the hardware kits from RockAuto as well.
Jason has posted and laid out a lot of helpful diagrams for reassembling the brakes that were very helpful when I did my 64 Fleetwood. I did drums (from…"

64 Brakes
Hi,It's time to do a brake job on my Fleetwood. When I imported my car from the US to Canada I had to have my car safety inspected before I could license it in the Privince of BC. After the inspection the mechanic told me that the brakes had never been done. My car is about to hit 59,000 miles. I think I will only need cylinders, shoes, and hoses. There are many parts providers so my question is........Who offers the best quality parts and/or should I be searching certain brands? Please let me…See More
"Perhaps; I did have a left and a right....Lol. I installed the one that looked like the one I took out. I'm not going to pull my car out until the end of March so I will report in when I get it figured out. Thanks for your help Jason!

"I installed the same gear as H E sells. It seemed to only go in one way with no room for adjustment but it's possible I got it wrong. No idea.....! I'll have to take it out again and take a look. Thanks for the feedback. "
"Sorry. It opens to 90* not 45. My original passenger vent opens to about 105* as yours do Kurt. I'm pretty sure that I installed the aftermarket gear correctly but maybe not. Has anyone else had the same 90* result after installing the…"
"I installed the aftermarket gear on my left front vent. It opens and closes as it should but only opens to 45*."

When I pulled my clock last year, I removed the clock and disconnected the hot wire off and removed the light by twisting it out. I had the clock repaired by Clock Works and they sent it back fixed. I did not…"
"Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your tip. I bought the jar opener and the clock popped out easily. Now I have another question. Does the spade connector with a pinkish colored insulator on the back of the casing screw out or should it just pull off. After…"

I have a 1964 Series 62 and have removed my clock myriad times. I use a rubber type band (the kind you use to open tight jars) and wrap it around the outer part of the clock (the outermost part - about 1/4"…"

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
