Dear Derek and Paul: Thanks for the kind words about the Bugle article. It's interesting that Paul mentions drag racing a self-shifter as there's a man who lives right here in Fort Worth that did exactly that about 50 years ago in Michigan and Calif

Cardboard is way cheaper than a locksmith. The lock unbolts from the inside of the trunk. The lock cylinder, which is what needs to be replaced, is the same for 1960 - 1964 Galaxies. It is a separate piece from the molding. It is available from Denni

I am confident that you can make the starter motor crank, but you don't really want to, until your EFI circuit is good. That's what they did at GM, they can't test the injector circuit until it actually fires. I believe, as soon as that portion ene

On our cars you are powering up many things when the key is turned. Just a guess, but could some of those other components have a safeguard to protect them by shutting everything down?

Thanks for the responses, Rodger, Chris and Rusty. The issue is in fact being caused by the bakelite (?) ring. I jiggled it around a bit (highly technical experiment) and could get the circuit to ground, making the horn blow. As a hunch, after I t

I would assume that the only way is to reach inside the door guts and find where the switch harness plugs into the main harness. Disconnect there. I thought the switch came with a mini harness. I could be wrong, but I just disassembled one and that i

Does anyone know what this nickel plated T-handle goes to or even what it does?? I was thinking some sort of seat adjustment handle maybe? The connection on the end is of the swivel ball and socket type.

On advice from this forum I drained and refilled after about 2 weeks. No damage as of yet. This was about 8 months ago that I did this.

I wonder if there is a listing for the paint codes for the various Retta colors. Right now I am looking for the code for a '90 white Reatta.

The auto in the photo with my grandfather has been identified as a 1910/11 Renault Towncar by several experts in the antique car field. HOWEVER, just to clarify my original question, it is NOT the vehicle that went down on the Titanic, nor did I ever

Again, thanks to all for the comments and suggestions. I have taken the pictures, Dave, and will post Saturday. I will unravel that wiring and check for shorts. Tomorrow I am also going to try the other suggestions relating to basic batt juice. I a

I was thinking it was Leather because that's what it looks like, haven't really taken that close a look. It's still very water tight (nothing leaks through even at the "rip" which has that thick electrical tape on it) which is good consider

I have never claimed to be the smartest guy around, but wouldn't it make sense to just look up the parts needed for a '91 Reatta, cross reference those parts to other GM cars and get those out of a salvage yard? This way you would have a known workin

I'm probably the last person who should chime in on technical questions, but I just had my '65 professionally restored and my restorer more or less insisted on installing a dual master set-up for the safety aspect Jim mentioned... Just my two cents.
