Hi All,
I just posted a blog of my experience in converting the factory A/C in my '63 Series 62 Convertible to R134a. Everything works great, but I would be more comfortable if I knew where the drain hose for the evaporator case was located so I could inspect it. I'm getting a lot of condensate running out of the bottom of the right front fender, but I can't see the condensate drain from under the car. Anyone have any photos or tips on finding it? The shop manual and parts list publications don't show this detail.
Thanks and check out the blog post if you're planning a 134a conversion. Hope it helps.

Thanks Gene! That helps a lot! I'm guessing that you can't see this tube at all from outside/underneath the car? It must drain into a body cavity and eventually water finds its way out?
do keep in mind that the water still leaks through that short hose and then will come out at the bottom of the fender anyway. I tried tracking the water flow so that I could use a rubber hose exiting directly out of the car, but the passage winds like a maze through a couple layers of metal and you cant get a direct passage. I almost though of drilling a hole, but gave up and just kept working because that would have been time consuming.
Maybe a better idea would have been to use bed-liner spray but again, I was just trying to get the job done. Its a fun one!

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!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. 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…
