My '64 deVille Convertible passenger side door is sagging to the point where it is almost impossible to shut. I attempted loosening the door with a jack under it, lifting the door and re-tightening, but had no success. Do I need to replace the door pins that go inside the hinge, and if so, where do I buy them? Any tips, or advice is much appreciated,

Chris

Hi Mike, I have several good right passenger side hood hinges but no decent left driver side hinges. You might contact our other in house parts suppliers listed up top on the Parts Suppliers page. Perhaps someone will see this and respond to you.  I can put you down for one on my "needs list" if you email me at jasonedge@nc.rr.com.

Jason.

Haha, glad that I caught you in a good mood! My passenger side window has broken 2 times from people slamming my door to shut it and I have had it. I'll take both of them and send you the paypal payment tonight. I took a second look at the door and realized that the pins are definitely not coming out lol. Thanks Jason.

Those 2 door doors often have loose worn out front hinges.  The best option are night right fronts (same hinges) that came off a 4 door. That is what I did on my 163K mile 64 CDV. I'm in a good mood and will sell you a complete  2 pc set nice and tight for $25 + $10 s/h for a total of $35. That's about 1/2 price. If you want to replace all 4 I would go $45 + $11 s/h).

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?
