On my '66 De Ville both of my turn signal indicators do not work despite that the regular turn signals work front and back. . I'm thinkiing that they are on a separate circute rather both are burned out at the same time.

Any thoughts

Check bulbs, usually it’s a grounding issue clean the grounds on the lamps make sure they are cleaned.

Trace the wires coming from the lamps ,you’ll find the grounds, if that don’t work trace the wires back to the steering column, switch etc. 

Thanx for your reply. First of all I mistakenly indcated that I have a '66 when actually it is a '64. 

Turns out I underestimated the previous owner because when I removed the left side indicator from the fender the wire was broken off at the recepticle. I'm guessing that the right side is the same. I had thought the the fender indicator lights were operated by a completely seperate relay system like my '66 T-Bird.

Cheers

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?
