Anyone ever experienced the emergency brake pedal not locking in the "engaged" position. My pedal just springs back up - it won't lock when I press it. Everything else works, meaning the brakes…Continue

Tail Light Issue
I have an issue with my left side lower bulb in the bumper end housing portion. The bulb that operates the backup light. I can't get a bulb to operate although I do get 12V when I put my tester to that center pin inside the bulb housing. I even added some solder to the tip of the bulb contact to see if the buidup would help contact, but no go. The bulb does take a bit of effort to insert as if it is contacting the spring loaded pin.DanSee More

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
