Re: Idle Control Solenoid

Interesting… Thank you for the picture. My 61 definitely had one at one time. The wiring is laying on the manifold and taped up. Just out of curiosity, where does the vacuum line plum to after it leaves the back of the Solenoid…

Idle Control Solenoid

Does anyone have pictures of the Idle control solenoid that was installed on air conditioned cars that would bump the idle up when the A/C was engaged… I know what it looks like just never seen one on a car.

Re: Questions about Convertible Deck Lid Operation & Adjustment

Thank You for the reply Ken and Jim! I worked on it for several hours last night and was able to get the switch adjusted just about spot on. I do have all the subsequent manuals but was unable to find anything in writing that stated what exact moment the hydraulic pump should be disabled by the swit...

Re: Questions about Convertible Deck Lid Operation & Adjustment

I'm hijacking this thread with a question instead of starting my own new thread since its somewhat relatable to this post, hopefully answerable by an expert (hint hint Jim Wulf ). The switch on the passenger side near the screw receiver, at what point should it cut the power to the hydraulic pump? A...

Re: 1961 Convertible Question

Turns out it was a combination of a leaky hose that fed the deck lid cylinders and low fluid in the top circuit. Somehow the system was siphoning fluid from the top circuit for the deck lid so even though the circuit for the top had no leaks it was bone dry. I replaced all the hoses in the trunk and...

Re: 1961 Convertible Question

Thank You for the pointers. I will check connections first since that's the easiest, cheapest, and cleanest path. If that doesn't work I will have to source some valves to swap out and see if they work any better.
