jaxops Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I recently purchased 2 very needed parts for my 70 Electra convertible from CARS, Inc. One was the hose from the air breather to the valve cover. The jury-rigged one worked, but always had a slight crimp in it. The correct part was nicely curved and turned to fit without crimping. <BR>The 2nd improvement was the replacement of my 30+ year old vaccuum control under the distributor. I had replaced the blower motor and switch last summer with moderate results. I started the car up, and the blower was "screaming" in high. I was amazed at the difference. I now have air blowing on all of my speed settings.<P>I just thought that I would pass on a small success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxops Posted January 27, 2002 Author Share Posted January 27, 2002 Well? How did it work out? I had a bit of trouble getting the 2 tiny screws out and around the flywheel assy of the distributor. I will have to replace them later, but I did put some oil on them before I put them back, and they screwed in a lot easier.<P>Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
