Restoration / am/fm radio repair

« on: September 22, 2013, 04:13:08 AM »

My question is: Is there a reliable person to send an original '69 am/fm radio to for repair?
The tuning knob shaft has a little bend in it and the tuning needle sticks.
I did a search and everything on radios is somewhat old.

  Looks just like the one Heartbeat sells. I have one of theirs. 1.718 diameter, very heavy but non-magnetic, right around 5 ounces. I wish I had a real one.

Restoration / Original 1968 heater blower motor

« on: November 04, 2012, 06:38:28 AM »

I need advice.
I was going to just buy a new heater blower motor when I noticed the date on the one I took out.  It was dated the same month as the car.  Now I am torn. 
question one:  Should I keep the blower I have and just put it in the basement and buy a new one or have the old one rebuilt?
question two: Who in the world rebuilds blower motors? Mine is somewhat tight.  It turns but it is tight. 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Ron

A friend had one. Mid 70s out of Oshkosh. Had it about two years. Oddly enough his name was Jeff also. Black/ white /black houndstooth. I do remember the car needed a brake job and it was so expensive to get it done I think is the reason he sold it. Also, the car ran like crap all the time. I remember him talking about  the insurance price on it too. I am thinking around 1974. Everyone have a safe and happy holiday,   Ron

Thanks for the link 69z28302!  And what is that mark stamped in to Sauron327 clip ? Looks like an anchor in the picture.

BlackoutSteve .The next one you have looks like B-13388 on pg 146, but it's not blue.
Where did that clip come from off the car?
I have a 69 AIM and I don't see the corresponding GM number.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Both clip picks are the same clip.Clip was on fuel line along with about 6 or 7 others. One seams a light blue.

E Mail sent to brake boosters. com. (Blackoutsteve) I am real sure my brake line clips are green the clip above in the pick was on fuel line. I understand what 3/8 means but what is the other mark in the pic. and thanks for steering me to Brakebosters.com. I can send a few things to him.
