‘64 Convertible top switch
Does anyone have a working ‘64 Convertible top switch like the one pictured below that you would be willing to sell, or have a lead on where I can get one? The new so-called “replacement” switch doesn’t fit the panel hole correctly nor the original mounting bracket. (And it looks different than the original! 😁).

Have you tested the switch with a continuity tester to confirm it is not working, and that your problem is not in wiring or elsewhere? These are pretty simple switches with contacts that bend down and make contact and close circuit when switch button is pushed one way or the other. Sometimes contacts just need to be cleaned or bent a little. Send it to me and would be glad to repair for free.. you would just pay for shipping it back.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for the reply and kind offer to repair my switch.
iThe problem is the switch, which I have been gingerly using for the past couple of years. With the dash restoration and having to remove the switch. When putting back in and testing on the circuit, it sparked and upon removal for inspection, a pin came out along with a small piece of the plastic casing. (I had one of the ugly 3 pin “reproduction” to test the circuit and it works just fine, except the new switch is hanging out of the hole; a temporary thing to get the top up and down). If you think with the broken pin it is still reparable, I will send it to you. Btw there is a broken clip on it.
Thank you again for your advice and repair offer.Mike

I have the base and clips from other switches and should be able to repair yours. Let's say $10 for replacement parts. If interested in me repairing send to

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
