64 A/C Time Delay Switch
Hi,I am looking for a replacement for my A/C time delay switch. If anyone has one I would like to buy it. I'm trying to repair what is left of my melted one. I foolishly took it apart without taking any detailed photos. Now I'm finding it a little difficult to put back together correcty. I'm wondering if anyone has a few pics of the inner workings of the switch or an exploded diagram? I'm also not quite sure how it works. What creates the heat to close the points.The shop manual does't say much…See More
"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…"
"Hi Joel,
Did you get this problem sorted?

"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*."
"Spray some WD40 around the insulator and it should gently pry out. At worse if it breaks, you can match it up with one of those rubber insulators you can get in the fastener section of Home Depot or Lowes. You might also have it in a warm room or…"

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…"

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?
