Had gorgeous weather here in NC again today and did that mandatory cruising around this afternoon. This time I stopped in front of the Garner NC water tower downtown Garner and about 1/2 miles from my house and took this late in the afternoon picture. There is a lot of shadow but if you look closely you will see couple of fine looking Yorkies propped up in the back seat!

Tis the Season...

Hey Boss, was it Dino's birthday yesterday?

Yes, Build date was March 19, 1964... so Mr. Dino turned 54!

Cool.

Our Fleetwood gets a party hat on Sunday the 25th.

On your build sheet Jason, your car is down the page a tad, but on ours, we are on the top. Would I be correct in assuming our car was first off the floor on that Wednesday in 1964?

Kevin, There were 17,559 Cadillacs built in March, 1964. Even if they did build 7 days a week that would average 452 cars a day! My build sheet only has 25 cars so I would assume there would be about 18 build sheets a day. If they had a standard Mon thru Fri production that means you only have about 22 to 23 days to produce those 17,559 cars in March which would mean you probably have close to 20 build sheets per day.  There's really no way of knowing where your build list page falls within all the build list pages for that day unless you have access to the preceding and succeeding pages.

Ha ha ha, I hadn't really given to much thought to that,... now did I..... PMSL

Never said I was the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I might just go sit in the dunces corner for a bit.

Geez Tony, you talkin about Jason or Dino being a sexy thing.

Eventually I’ll replace the speedo cable if needed but I believe the dash will need to come out to do that. However, shortly, I will be replacing the transmission on my 64 Fleetwood and I was…Continue

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…

Spark Plug Heat Range

Posted by Patrick Westphal on July 7, 2023 at 10:00am 1 Comment

I found a diagram that illustrates the main factor in determining a spark plug heat range that I was trying to describe to you during the chapter get together.

Here it is:

 

The main factor is the length of the ceramic insulator from the middle of the spark plug to the tip (where the spark happens)  

The insulator…
