    Rear window locking strip

    There was never a wire attached to a pull ring that would cut the window gasket. As you surmise, the pull ring was attached to the end of the locking stripe to allow one to pull out the locking strip and then push out the window. Emery Stora > > The Palm Beach rear window is missing the...

    Winterizing options

    Problem with brass body proportioning valve

    That looks like the valve that I put on years back. I checked mine out some time back and it didn’t need a modification. I don’t think that you could lock up the fronts before the rears if you had the modification or not. If I were you I would not do anything to it. If your brakes are working...

    Why do you think you need a larger condenser? I haven’t heard of anyone putting in a larger one. I haven’t seen any need for a larger one.
