[T3] My 1964 Type 34

[DGaries808@aol.com]

I finally got my 1964 Type 34 out of the shop today and was disappointed at 
best. I  found out that the 6-volt clock was tied to a 12-volt lead and burnt 
out the clock. Then, the wiper motor hit the clock, which had just been 
replaced in the spare hole in
the  dashboard. Then, the tach (which replaced the clock) was doubling up on 
revs,
The tach is a new VDO 4,6 & 8. apparently it is set wrong. Anyone got any 
ideas about resetting the tach? It reads 1100 when it is really about 600 
rpm. and it goes up to about 6000 easily.

Probably the worst thing I found was that the electric windows didn't work 
anymore. The mechanic fixed that. Turns out that a new buncha wires were tied 
to the electric
window mechanisms. The mechanic didn't know how it was hooked up, so he 
bypassed the electric windows. Then, although I was given the electric door 
lock clicker, I didn't get home with it. When I tried the second clicker, it 
didn't work. Then, I drove the car down to Furr's cafeteria and, thinking 
that I needed to lock it up, I locked both doors the regular way, by pushing 
in the horizontal tabs on both sides.
Then, much to my surprise, the doors wouldn't unlock with the key. I tried 
two keys and both doors. Suddenly, I was stuck. I couldn't open the doors.

The next thing I am going to try is to get a locksmith out and try to open a 
door. I can't imagine how this one car can cause me so much grief. The A/C 
finally works like a champ. For how long, I don't know. 

Anyone got any ideas what's causing the doors to fail? Any suggestions on 
what to do?
