I just posted some pictures of the power trunk release/pull down components in this album: http://6364cadillac.ning.com/photo/albums/power-trunk-release-pull-...

You can see the indicator harness with green wire that run down left side of car body and under door sill(s) in top right of this picture of power trunk release/pull down compoents.  On the ground side with the green wire it ends with a bullet connection that attaches to the pull down mechanism at the very back. You also have a bout a 3' red wire that taps into the dash harness. Check the bullet connection at back, check the two connections off the hot red wire, and of course check the bulb, and fuses.

thanks

did all that - replaced bulb - still no light! no voltage getting to it. oh well not a big worry.

another question - i saw i think the control box for the auto headlights - looked like

valves in there - answers possibly another question - sentinal off - auto dip off - normal

beam goes on - normal ops - if I then hit the high beam it takes from cold about 20

seconds for the high beam to work then OK. is this the valves warming up?

cheers

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?
