This brings back the memories. My dad had a Black 62 four door Custom. I learned to drive in it. I remember the electroluminescent lighting and square steering wheel.
looks like your voltage regulator is stuck and is overcharging your battery, maybe it is causing the gauge cluster voltage regulator on the back of the gauges to buzz... or maybe it's that gauge regulator.
My experience with the aluminum radiator was not good. I bought a 61 Lincoln that was overheating when driving in town and anytime actually less than 40 mph. I finally figured it out: The fins on the alum radiator were so close together that the factory fan would not pull air through it. The radiator was made for electric fans that are shallow pitched and will pull air through. The factory engine mounted fan is designed for volume of air but will not pull through a tightly built radiator. As soon as I put a factory brass radiator back into the car it ran cool regardless of conditions. Note: not all alum radiator are built this way. However, it is worth a look. Just compare the fins on your original radiator to the alum and if it is a problem you will see how closely spaced the fins are on the alum.
I will defiantly check it out Jeff ! The guy I bought it from put the aluminum one in it. I have the original, but it needs to be rodded out. I am going to try a dual electric fan to see if that will work.
I had just put a brand new battery in it, and while replacing it, the leather strap I had holding the old battery in, broke. I had to make a new strap, so it's good now.
Well, the bike is a 750 Tiger, so I went with a Flying Tiger's theme. I'm eventually going to paint the Tiger on the neck gussets and the 1st Pursuit Sqd. emblem on top of the tank.
fwiw, the dog does like you. just give him a little pat on the nose and direct him away if you need your space using your hand on the snout. you'll have an easier time of it if you set boundaries in the way dogs understand instead of doing the usual human things. be firm, but have a kind hand.
Radio is tubes and it has caps in them and it buzzs vol control is dirty and spray contact cleaner in vol control with radio off and. Vigorously switch from lo to hi vol a few times
Don't be afraid of locks. You can do it. Most of these are very simple and just go in and you will see how the tabs and keys work. I have keyed many cars to use one key for all locks. Trust me that you should try this and it is not hard at all.
The "Driver" for the dash lights are Electroluminescent little tiny white bars or rods that look like warehouse-type florescent bulbs, that Driver/power pack may be bad. I had a '63 Imperial (same dash) and all of the wiring to those bulbs were totally fried from some short or too much current coming from the power pack.
You are correct about the iridescent front material not being original. All 4 doors would have matched the rear of the front seat. There is a very nice series of refence photos on a car sales sight. Search google: "1962 IMPERIAL LEBARON Orlando classic cars". Its a black one and looks 100% correct. All the lower door panels match each other, and all have that same striped material you showed on the back of your front seat.
Spray your electrical switches and connections with a spray can of CRC electronic cleaner sold at any hardware store of home improvement center. It etches the metal surface areas for factory new contact.
@@scott6305get some white 3m. Scrubbies and touch up the fuse box contacts same for the wipers switches and plugs contacts outside..usually a vigorous on off cycle a few times will bring back item. Same for lights check grounds and take a batt terminal cleaner and clean out the socket of grime. Cool car😮😮😮😮
Thank you Josh ! Right now, the videos are few and far between because I don't have an indoor shop to work on it. As soon as I buy the new house and get the shop built, I'll be doing videos of the whole process.
I put a brand new battery with a full charge in it and used a door lock switch to operate the windows. It only worked on the one window, so I'm guessing all the others are dead. The main switch on the drivers door has a broken backing plate on it so I'm also guessing that's why none of the drivers switches work. It's going to have to be rebuilt.
@@scott6305 its very posible that you might just have bad grounds too, i doubt three window motors all burned out. i would also go over everything with some WD40, locks, switches, motors, even electrical connections.
@@cjhatescomputers I've sprayed just about everything that can move with WD-40 . I think there is a broken wiring harness in the driver's door. I just really haven't had the time to work on it.
@@AdamWaffen The Lincoln's were ugly, no style or class. They were a box that didn't stand out from anything else. They had no technology, no engineering. They were common. I guess that's why you like them so much, you're as common as they are.
Exner was fired over these gaudy and tacky sea monsters. They replaced him with the designer of the 61 Lincoln. So remember, educate yourself, read, think, then write. In that order.
