door jam switch
These are from the door jams. They are a weak link and the "ON OFF" function is iffy
Inside there is a moving contact that is 1) Oxide and 2) has less "spring" original
How can the oxidation be stripped off - it is very small and I would prefer not using an eraser. Anybody have solution?
How can I increase the "Spring" - It seems to no touch the contacts well enough
Any hints?? Thanks

Vinegar or slightly stronger citric acid will clean the contacts. Make sure to rinse with baking soda/ water mixture after.

Hi, Thanks - I totally understand

Soak the parts in CLR cleaner for 30 minutes and rinse well. The copper contact can be adjusted to have the fingers press harder against the contacts.

Finally got around to cleaning and re-lubricating the seat transmission. Now, it works flawlessly

When I first got my 64 SDV about 8 years ago, the power seat made noise but didn't go anywhere. I promptly read up on it and proceeded to take the seat transmission out to clean and re-lubricate it.…Continue

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,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up.
