Does any one have experience with aftermarket door jamb switches for the 1963 Eldorado? Thnx Cees.

If it fits it should not be any different. I mean its not anything else than an on/off switch.
I have them for sale in my mini store on line. It is a single hook up and needs an external ground. If you have a 3 pin original door jamb switch, you connect the 3 together and plug into the switch. I removed the kick panel and ran a ground wire to the back of the switch.
The 3 pin original connector was so individual series of lights could come on, without turning on all the interior lights. With the 3 wires hooked together, all the lights will come on.
Hello everybody,
I also have the problem, that my door jamb switches are broken (1963 Fleetwood 60 Special).
Since there is still expensive shipping for Europe, I found a good alternative in the HELLA spare parts catalogue:
It´s a new spare part for a 1973 Ford Capri, part no.6ZF 004 365-031, that only costs 3,78 EUR and works fine!
I also renewed the light bulbs in the door handles (courtesy lights?) that are type no.212
Alternative part no that fits the 212 is: C10W by OSRAM (Sylvania) or any other manufacturer.
I ordered two (2) door jam switches for my DeVille Conv. from OPGI last year for about $26 each, and they fit well. Be advised, however that they are two prong, not the original three prong switches. You will have to connect two wires to one of the prongs, and be sure it’s the proper orientation of connections or your rear passenger interior lights wont’t operate properly.

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?

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
