1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
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,-SamuSee More
"Hi Logan
According to the shop manual, the front cylinders have a larger bore (1-3/16”) compared to the rear cylinders (1”).
This makes sense, as the front brakes play a larger role in stopping the car.
Additionally, RockAuto sells…"
"The original gears seem to indeed have - or in my case had - only 14 teeth, while the reproduction has 17. I bought mine either from Hydro Electric or from TA Motor in Sweden. I believe it only opens 90 degrees.

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

"As Chris noted, most new temp sending units (at least the ones from China) are mis-calibrated and give a false hi reading. I have a good used sending unit that gives a resistance in the correct range I have seen for good sending units over the years…"

Temperature gauge not working properly
Posted on March 23, 2022 at 2:43pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
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)…

Hi,
I really like the color combination of this 63 Eldorado (sold long time ago by Volocars).
The ad states aqua exterior and green interior but unfortunately there is no pic on the cowl tag.
Is the exterior color ’Frost aquamarine’ and interior ’Beryl’?
Or is the exterior green, ’Frost green’ and interior ’Emerald’?

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?
