Clock Operation - Chattering contacts points
Trying to work on the clock out of my 64. When I put a charge to it, the contact points chatter back and forth, sounding like a doorbell buzzer. I don't see the gears moving and the points never snap back. Has anyone experienced this? Ted

Servicing the dashboard clock
I found an old article I had printed years back on servicing our dash clocks. The article states to remove the three screws around the perimeter of the bezel and then the nut in the back.

The "What You've Missed" from the old site
This may have been answered already so I apologize if I am repeating. Were we able to save the information from our old blogs? Over the years I would read my emails from the "What You've Missed" and then save those topics that were helpful for me. It looks like all those emails are now trash.
Also, is there a way to create a daily email that summarizes the recent blogs like WYM? Thanks everybody!

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?
