how does the door molding attach? The "bath tub" pieces seem to go into the holes in door but how do the clips go into them??
The pic with rear fender trim with two clips installed is how it came off of the car years ago.
From the factory the doors used the "bathtub" shaped push in fasteners for the inner 3 attachment points on sedans (4 attachment points on the coupe/conv door). The trim simply pops onto the fasteners. That is the outer ridge of the bathtub fasteners is just wider than the side trim and it pops on.
For the door side trim front and rear very end fasteners, there is a slide in clip that has a wide Phillips pan head screws that screws in from the inside of the door through the door lip opening.
Below is a picture of the complete Sedan Door side trim factory fastener set:
Here is a picture of that door trim "end fastener" as it looks installed in the trim
NOTE 1: As an alternative to the inner "bathtub clips" you can use "Push In Spring Clips" like those use at the front of the rear qtr fastener set BUT, all old bathtub clips need to be removed form your door.
NOTE 2: As an alternative to the inner "bathtub clips", you can use "medium Studded fasteners" like those use at the front of the rear qtr fastener set BUT, all old bathtub clips need to be removed form your door AND you will have to remove the door panel to access the studs.
On the rear qtr panel side trim for the sedan You will have 5 push in spring clips at the very front (on left of picture below), then 3 medium size studded clips (3rd row from left) and then the 2 small studded clips. These rear qtr side trim gets progressively smaller and you will want to use the smaller ones at the very rear section. NOTE: The trunk cardboard has to come out in order to access the 5 studded fasteners on each side. For the very rear, the rear bumper needs to be removed to access a plastic access cover.

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!
