1967 Eldorado -
the headlights and the ALC work again
Yesterday I finally found the time to spend
a couple of hours in the garage and deal
with the problem of the non working
headlights and the defective ALC of my 67
Eldorado. I got some great tips from Glen
(see a couple of entries below). With his
great expertise I could solve all the
problems. I installed a set of new original
style spring clamp battery cables from
Antique Auto
Battery and repaired the blown
fusible link for the headlights. The
new battery cable comes pretty close
to the original cables that came with
the car. I would say they are 98%
correct.
I also got a new control valve for the ALC
compressor from
Arizona Vintage
Parts (a company I highly
recommend). With this new valve the
ALC is back in working order and the
car is now raising its rear to the
correct riding height again.
the new original style spring clamp battery
cables
a new used ALC control valve is also in
place.
