Tilt colum felt seal

Hi,the steering shaft of my 63 tilt steering column does not have any support at the lower (steering box) end (see the pic below).I think I have lost the felt seal shown in the manual (the lower pic). If so, I need one, so is there a reproduction available or does someone have a good used one? If the felt seal is just a rubber bushing, the measures could be enought. Measured on the column, the shaft seems to be 3/4” and the column (maybe) 1 3/16”. But how tall is the shaft?Many thanksSamu…See More

Temperature gauge not working properly

The temperature gauge of my 63 Eldorado does not work properly.It goes slowly all the way up and stays there, while the true temperature is around 155-160 F (water in the radiator and/or the top of the thermostat housing).Where should I start to solve the problem? The gauge itself, the temperature sensor, or the wiring? Or something else? The sensor is a new (aftermarket part) and the thermostat worked fine when I tested it in a saucepan. Many thanks-SamuSee More

1963 Fire-Frost colors

HiThe original color of my 1963 Eldorado is Frost Silver. I can find the PPG and Dupont paint codes from the web, but at least here in Europe paint shops are not able to mix paint with those old codes.Could you advise me: are you able to mix the orginal colors in the USA or does someone know a modern reference color? I know that one option would be to use the paint chart chips, but I have not seen a chart which would have had the fire-frost chips.My car was repainted probably in the early…See More

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!
