My dad moved the mirror on the '63 to the door, ans got a pair of plastic "sport" mirrors, to boot. They looked hideous, so one of the first things I did back in the '70's was remove them and get a...

Ah, so....

The horn button does indeed have a spring behind the contact. The package is in a plastic sleeve. I can see it in my mind's eye. If not from this car, I believe I have one or two...

Question Repro vs NOS fuel filters: Opinions?

I need a GF-61P for my '63. Repros are available from Ames and CPR. The CPR ones look more correct to me (color-wise, that is, for my '63). On eBay, there are NOS filters available at similar cost.

Steve, I can't find a letter, but the number stamped on the flange is 9, which indicates a 3.23 non-posi. The casting number is 543817, with a date code of F133 (which I think is June 13, 1963).

Does anybody have an extra PONTIAC HEATER nameplate/label from a '63?

Long story short:

The heater label in my convertible must have flown the coop on Sunday while I was out driving. It didn't fall n the floor, and I could not find it stuck to the microfiber cloth I...

Is it just at idle that you have no assist, or even at higher RPMs? Off the top of my head, assuming the pump is able to make pressure, the flow control valve comes to mind.

Undercarriage display mirrors

Still available

And oops, M1-110 is a Mobil 1 number. It seems to cross with AC Delco PF1127 and PF2112.

These are M1-110 filters however.

WTB 1119511 voltage regulator dated 2L, 2M, or 3A

My '63 was built Jan 7, so 2M is probably the most correct. Looking for NOS (of course), but would accept rebuilt or tested used.

TIA
