Well, it looks like my seat motor decided to give up. Armature turns free, brushes are fine but no go.

Anyone out there have one. Thanks tbbahner@embarqmail.com

Here is a copy of the picture testing the 6-way bench seat motor:

For those with the 2 way seat motors it is a more direct test method as you attach ground to body, and 12+ to each of the two contacts in the connector. One contact will turn forward and eon will turn backwards:

Yeah, disassembled and cleaned up, armature/shaft turns free, brushes are fine.

Grounded motor housing and put 12v to green and yellow wires, no body home.,

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?
