I'm using a bunch of different sources to try to build a fairly complete single wiring diagram for my 1963 Series 62 convertible. I've got a couple of questions:

1. Does anyone know what the circuit circled in red on the attached image does? Near the bottom of the marked area it seems to have a switch between the white wire and black grounded wire, but I have not been able to find this circuit leg in any other diagrams I've looked at.

2. If the car has AC, does the typical AC wring replace the non-AC blow/heater wiring? I assume cars with AC have only one blower motor. Can anyone confirm?

Once I get done, I'll share the work with this group. I know about (and have) some of the other color diagrams. I am building my own not just to get me the picture I want, but also because it helps me better understand how the car is wired. Fortunately, the wiring in my car seems to be in decent shape.

It appears to be the door activated switch circuit for courtesy lamps.

Thanks for the replies.

Dan, that was what I thought at first too, but the diagram has front and rear door switches located elsewhere. However, your idea leads me to a question. Is there a switch inside the car to turn on the courtesy lights (perhaps on a ceiling light on a hardtop car)?. I have a convertible, so I suspect such a switch might exist, but not on a convertible.

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,

-Samu

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?
