Whats the difference in Meaning

Hey guys, whats the difference in a part called a reproduction and called a replacement? I'm looking at door jamb switches and the reproduction costs more than the replacement. It sounds like a reproduction is not made by the OEM but a replacemnt sounds like not the original but something that will work..any thoughts? Tom

Comment by Raymond Peter Bombeck Sr. on November 8, 2012 at 9:28pm: reproduction is made very close to the oridginal but materials are probablly different and mfg. is different. A replacement could be the same thing or just something that may need modifications to fit where the org. was and will work. Need to look at the specifications eithere way. I would lean towards reproduction myself.

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?
