Pick up Cadillac Tim (Groves) 1964 Comfort Control Trouble shooting guide. He is listed in our Parts Suppliers Page. I believe Russ also sells them for Tim. And of course you will want to have the shop manual.
I had smoke come out of the dash once when I had my lights on, radio on and AC on at the same time. it happened because one connector on my ignition switch came lose causing it to arc,in turn the plastic piece on the back of the ignition switch & the coating on the wire began to burn from such a high demand from running all three electrical devices at the same time.
I did what Tony said, turned it on, smelled the burning, saw the smoke, found the source of the smoke ( grabbed the wire, it was hot as hell) took the switch out, squeezed the contact with a pair of vise grips ( making the connection tight again) back in business !!!!
Bob I have a similar issue, probably many more but that is one of them. My connector looks like it has melted in the past and someone wrapped it up in tape. When the fan runs (currently runs even when the lever is in the OFF position, another one of my problems), the connector gets very hot. Was it as simple for you as ensuring a tight and clean connection?

Yes, I have the AC book, by Tim Groves. I'm an authorized distributor for his book. Same price as he sells them. I include a spec sheet, as to where to locate the individual parts.
First you should get the Comfort Control Troubleshoot guide by "Cadillac" Tim Groves. You'll get step by step instructions on how to repair the entire system. I was able to get my Comfort Control system up and running with the help of the guide.
The smoke I had coming from under the dash turn out to be a a bad blower motor and a corroded connector. The high current draw of the blower motor in conjunction with the bad connector caused the wires to get very hot and melt causing the smoking condition. I hope this helps.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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…
