You taking about the seam where the inner door and outer door skins meet? And just standard rustoluem or the rust prevention (conversion?) stuff?...
Thanks, this helps. I am very familiar with with farm and body drains on my daily, there was an issue with leaf debris blocking the cowl drains...
I’m replacing the door locks and some wiring on my 1962 Cadillac and was wondering what (if any) additional items behind the door panels I should...
I don’t see any pictures...
[IMG] My 62 Sedan DeVille at lsru today
Unfortunately, my car is at the paint shop getting the roof flaked so I can’t go take pics. I used a vintage Stewart Warner gauge.
I used copper, t’d the factory sending unit. 62 sedan DeVille
That ammeter is a “national gauge” same as the Daimler/Chrysler part e48468m with an Auburn face. Also looks like you’ve got a Dole Valve Co....
Ah, I see. It was manifesting it self as pinging under mid acceleration and all the mechanical advance coming in “all at once” and under light...
This is from post #5 on this thread, as you can see I didn’t believe a missing advance spring could cause the power loss issues.
The timing curve issue was resolved by replacing the springs. The timing curve issue was a side issue and not the cause of the lack of power.
I never said that was the cause of the problem, just something I discovered during the triage. It was jacking with my overall timing curve as it...
After going through the coupling valve body once more I now seem to have all 3 shifts. 1-2 and 3-4 are barely even noticeable, with the 2-3 being...

That’s awesome, you totally didn’t have to do that. Thanks a million, brother!
Thanks! That’s great...think I’m going to have to go with a lighter peacock blue/shark bite flake, it is a bit too dark for me.
Could you redo the top in Roth blue balls metalflake (or at least in a similar color?) [IMG]
Thanks, I’ll give this a shot.
If mine was clean I’d never be able to find anything.
They have a staff of people who clean them ...
It is either condition 2-6302, 2-6602 or 2-7452. I’ll check the transition and coupling signal valves as well as the governor
I’m thinking trans still as the main culprit
It is definitely taking off in first...as I can smoke the tires, doubt it would do that in 2nd or higher from a dead stop. I’m going to go...
I’m only getting 1 shift. :( confirmed with tach.
Best part is we really did next to nothing...I fired her up, let her warm up, tweaked the timing by ear/vac gauge. And futzed with the carb for...
Not looking to win any drag races, just looking to not get flipped off every time the light turns green...
Well for the first time since owning her she smokes the tires. Exhaust is still dropped and I fiddled with timing and carb tuning a little and...
Just got the car a couple months back it’s always been like this... I currently have the exhaust pipes disconnected at the flanges. No marked...
I would too but the problem existed prior to the pertronix installation. And it uses the existing cap/rotor. And I have swapped them as well.
That would be spectacular...
