General Discussion / Distributor Weights and Springs
« on: March 08, 2012, 05:26:16 PM »
'69 L48 4 speed. I bought a used distributor and I think somebody has tinkered with the weights and springs. Where can I buy a new set of weights and springs to put it back to stock performance?

Maintenance / Adjusting Idle Mixtures Screws on Quadrajet
« on: March 06, 2012, 03:10:07 AM »
I think I remember but I need to be reassured how to adjust my Idle mixture. This is my "old school" way. Warm the engine up and turn the screw in til the engine starts to miss. Turn the screw out til it smooths out. Then an additional 1 1/2 turns out. Does this sound about right or am I getting too old to be doing this?  ???  I don't own a vacuum gauge and never have. I own a timing light but don't use it. Always tuned by ear.

« on: February 20, 2012, 12:29:28 AM »
I went to NAPA and bought an alternator for my car. The one I got is dated August 16th '68. Which year car would have/could have this came on from factory '68 or '69 or both? Anyway I put it on the shelf and bought another.

General Discussion / Trunk Lid Decals
« on: January 31, 2012, 11:41:19 PM »
I have glue in my '69 trunk lid where some kind of decal was stuck. Does anybody have an idea of what kind of decal might have been put in this location. I've never saw a decal on the left of center.

Restoration / Side Marker Light Gasket
« on: January 16, 2012, 01:16:09 AM »
 Were gaskets on the inside or outside? Did all 4 lights get a gasket? AIM doesn't show a gasket on the front lights and I assume the rear lights were installed by Fisher and not shown in the AIM.

Originality / Dust Apron Stapling
« on: December 29, 2011, 06:15:07 PM »
The dust aprons on inner fender were stapled from inboard with the rubber apron on the outboard side. In the AIM UPC 0 A8 shows the stapling process for the staple to go thru the rubber then the metal. Exact opposite of what I've saw on all cars including my previously untouched car. Can someone explain what I'm missing?

Originality / Under hood light wire retainers (clips)
« on: December 29, 2011, 05:59:02 PM »
The new light assembly didn't come with wire retainers. Can someone post a picture of a clip so I know what to look for in the bone yard. I can't find any parts house that sells them.

Maintenance / Horn Relay Malfunction
« on: December 25, 2011, 07:18:26 PM »
Putting my '69 back together and the horn relay starts making the key minder noise when I plug my horns up. Unplug the horns and it stops. Is it a ground issue on the horns or something else?  * Note* steering column is installed but steering wheel is not attached if that makes a difference on ground for the horns.

General Discussion / Battery Disconnect Switch
« on: December 02, 2011, 04:32:42 PM »
Is anybody using a Master Disconnect Switch anymore? I've got the side post battery and the only ones I can find are bulky, ugly and fasten in plain sight onto the battery. Do they make a switch you can put out of sight but leave the battery cables on the battery? Do I even need a Master Disconnect?

Maintenance / Quarter Window Adjustment
« on: November 16, 2011, 03:51:23 PM »
My quarter window is stiff, hanging up and seems to jam sometimes to a point I have to actually pull up on it to get it to roll up. Anybody have this problem? My regulator and tracks are all good and no slop anywhere. Any ideas how to fix this?

Does anyone have a picture of the tail panel on a '69 Fathom Green car that you be willing to post?

General Discussion / NOS Trunk Weatherstrip
« on: September 28, 2011, 04:12:33 PM »
My painter found 3 or 4 '69  NOS Trunk Weatherstrip. Are these things worth $132. Seems high but I've heard the after market don't fit too good. I can't find anything about previous auctions on eBay for price comparison. Has anybody bought 1 of these? If so how much did it cost?
