63 Fleetwood trunk won't open
I have a 63 Fleetwood 60 special. I shut my trunk today and it will not release with the vacuum or the key, I can not get it to unlock. I could really use some help with this rather frustrating issue. Thank you.

To take what Chris said a bit further, Crank car, build up vacuum in large trunk release canister, have someone gently push the trunk lid up and down as you depress the vacuum trunk release button in the glove box. Pushing the lid down a tad should take some pressure off the latch where it hooks into the latch.

Might not be a bad idea to have somebody press the trunk pop button while you turn the key. Then maybe you can get in and find the problem.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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?
Vintage Air AC

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!
