Illuminated light switch bezel

I will soon be replacing the original type instrument panel light bulbs with LEDS for better visibility. Over the years, I have noticed that some people on this forum have figured out a way to illuminate the -otherwise unlit-  light switch bezel. Since the dash pad will be off anyway, I thought I might also give this a try. As I’m not much of an electrician, can someone who’s successfully done this mod give me clear instructions as to how to proceed? Some pictures would be great!See More

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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

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?
