Just to make sure no rock is unturned .... did you turn the Guidematic control to the "off" position? To turn off rotate the sensitivity control knob (Fig 12-99 in shop manual) all the way to the left to the Off position. The dimmer switch should then operate as a manual switch. This might sound like a silly question but have hear at least 2 occasions over the years where the owner was simply not turning the switch far enough to the left to the off position which opens a circuit to the guidematic system.

I think you have to use the same type dimmer switch. That is if you have guidematic, you need to use the guidematic switch with side connector or bypass everything. If you need one, I have Very Good used ones for $5 + s/h. Shoot me an email to jasonedge@nc.rr.com

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

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?
