  1. Crawl under the dash and see what is going on with the cables. Also pull the electric motor and see if it is traveling the full wipe distance.
  2. I'm in North Carolina where it is very difficult without a title. Here a car without a title I valued as a parts car.
  3. If your car had this option, It may have been removed when the wipers were converted to electric as it looks like this changed the vacuum routing on the vacuum wiper motor.
  4. Other than the Dual Meet in Puerto Rico in 2022, I think the previous one was in Shelbyville, TN around 2014. They do not occur often.
  5. On Buicks of the time, there is a small leaver labeled wide and narrow on the back side of the swithc. Narrow increased the speed of the vacuum wipers but narrowed the field of wipe. Has this switch been moved to the narrow position?
  6. Replace your hoses to the front brakes. Sounds like one has swollen internally and won't let the fluid return to the master cylinder.
  7. Look for disconnected vacuum lines. This system is largely controlled by vacuum motors. The factory shop manual will help you greatly in solving this.

    Brakes

    Sent you a message.
  9. You received the wrong tab. You should have received a tab that says ORIGINAL that mounts behind the HOPF oval. Contact Jon at National for the correct badge.

    Brakes

    Are you needing information on how to adjust the brakes or someone to adjust them for you? Since you are in the Charlotte area, you should join the Hornets Nest Region of AACA. We have quite a few members with Model A's.
  11. The number is the badge number which is linked to the car in the AACA National database. It is different from the AACA vehicle number.
  12. That's the AC filter/drier.
  13. This is the risk whenever corporate interests buy non-profit concours events.
  14. Larry, I would recommend heading over to Scranton, PA and pick up I-81 and follow it to I-77 south of Ronoke, VA to Charlotte, then I-85 north to the Speedway. No tolls on this part of the route. An alternate route would be in Ronoke take US 220 to Greensboro, NC and then I-85 south to the speedway. US 220 is about 15 minutes longer, but a very nice divided 4 lane US highway with a 55 mph speed limit.. I-77 in the last 40 miles to Charlotte is usually very heavy traffic, and easy to get stuck for hours if there is an accident.
