Radiator removal - '63

To remove the radiator on a '63 convt. how much needs to be disassembled? Can I just unbolt it and lift it out, or does the fan, hood, etc. have to come off for clearance? Thanks! :?

Re: Clocks are pretty cool..

My '63 LCC clock is out and ready for me to open up-- How does it open??^%$# I have it loosened, but can't get the wind/set shaft to go thru the clear plastic cover, and I haven't found anywhere else to open it up. Thanks!! :?:

Alternatives to the old relays??

About 1 1/2 years ago there was some discussion about possible alternatives to the old 'ice cube' vert relays -- or possible replacements for them. Does anyone have any suggestions for these?
In this day and age...

top cylinders leaking - same fix as deck cylinders??

I've read this post and the replies re: deck lid cylinder leaks and replacing vs. rebuilding. Is the same true re: top cylinders? I have a nasty gurgling leak out of 1 of the top cylinders when attempting to raise the top. My leak is where the chrome ram enters the larger cylinder. Help!! and thanks...

430 distributor/points

All of a sudden my '63 (430 engine) won't start. It had begun running a little rough for about 100 miles, now I can't get it to catch, even with starter fluid in the carb. I pulled the dist. cap, and the points mounting plate moves sideways - so much that I get no open-close action on the points... ...

'63 vent window weatherstrip

On my '63 convertible the vent window weatherstrip has dry-rotted. I know it is available from our suppliers. Can I remove the old and install the new without pulling the door apart?
Thanks,
