    Weak Blower motor??

    Some of the blowers used a three coiled wire resister to control speed. The combination of the coils regulated the speed, and they get hot! You might want to take a quick peek and see if they are still passing current. For the sake of two screws and a terminal being removed, what have you got to...

    Factory 1963 300J 4-speed

    Yes, on the side. I have a '61 with the A745 3 speed floor shift manual with side access and the weird boot as mentioned. 62 is the same also. I also have a '63 transmission (an A745 3 speed) out of a low mileage car, and several other A745 transmissions, a shifter mechanism and a set of pedals...

    Starter relay ?????

    I have changed these in parking lots all over North America. A screw driver or a cheapo will get you out of a jam until you find a good one. NOS is the best. Good luck.

    I'm thinking about getting a vintage trailer!

    I did the same type of trip with my 67 Newport (drum brakes) and a 10ft Jayco hardtop pup up trailer to the west coast. Tranny cooler and a soft touch on the brakes. Did numerous mountain passes per day, long prairie stretches, traffic jams, the killer Coquihalla Highway and never had a problem...

    Radiator recommendations

    Greetings. I had mine re-cored with two 1" tubes (rows). They held 3/4 of a gallon more, fit well, flowed very well and worked better than the 3 tube core it replaced. Just a quick measurement at the shop and you will know. Nobody looking at the rad can tell, if you are concerned about factory...

    Engine ground question

    There are 3 grounds. One comes off of the battery negative terminal and goes to the body near the battery, one bolts to the engine at the front of the block, near the end of the front of the driver's side head, above the power steering pump and below the valve cover, and then the rear ground at...

    '67 Monaco master brake cylinder questions

    Hi. If you read the article listed elsewhere, regarding converting from single to dual reservoir master cylinders, you will find an entry done by me that outlines several of the fittings required for fitting size conversion. The original article is from another member. Do a search (upper right...

    Carb Air Cleaner Rod - How to tighten?

    Here is another way to tighten. Put a thin cutting wheel in your Dremel grinder. Cut a very small slot in to the end of the rod, just big enough to get a thin blade screw driver in to it. Do not make it very deep so as to not weaken the end of the rod. Use your screw driver just enough to place...

    Have a priest bless my car?

    Give it to your arch enemy or main drag competitor,...when he isn't looking or can't see you doesn't see you do it.

    Factory 1963 300J 4-speed

    I have the 3 speed manual trans floor shift in my 61 Newport. This trans was used for a few years post the 60 French transmission. The shifter comes out of the side of the tunnel, and does not protrude through the console. In fact, it has a small metal perch built right on to the side of the...

    Quits when it gets hot…

    I have had the exact same problem on a few vehicles when the coil gets a few years on it. Once hot,...quits. Cools for even a moment and away we go until it happens again. Replaced it, problem solved. Try it, you'll like it!

    What are these disc brakes from?

    These may be from a conversion kit produced by the old Stainless Steel Brake Company a number of years ago. I had a set. They mimicked the Kelsey Hayes style and I was never satisfied with their performance. I also found that when they needed to be rebuilt, there was very little support for...

    Radio Static

    There are several factors at play here. "Static" and a "whine that changes pitch" are two different problems with different causes. Static is usually caused by a poor signal, a bad ground, a damaged antenna or antenna lead, an improperly connected antenna plug, or an improperly matched antenna...

    Engine ground question

    The wire is usually an 8, although a 10 will work just fine. The placement of the ground wire on the rear hidden back of the head bolt as described by a prior submission, and the self tapping bolt on the fire wall, requires two different sizes of terminal. It is easy to forget this and then have...
