I have had the dash apart for weeks, The headlight pull switch failed. I got a new one from Charles Fares. Thank you Charles!! The speedometer failed, There are a few places where this problem could come from and this one was a bad cable from the transmission to the cruise control unit. I pulled the standard steering column out and installed a tilt column with a recast steering wheel (thank you Jason and Russ!!). I had melted AC and heater conectors – I replaced these. Along the way I replaced bulbs and such. I did NOT replace the dimmer switch – it the tilt different than the non-tilt. Now the dimmer switch on high turns off the instrument lights
Why would this happen? Non-tilt dimer switch? I forgot to plug something in? Any ideas??

Since turning on the hi beams also turns on the hi beam indicator bulb in the instrument panel I would look for issues with that light. I would remove that light and light base/socket from the back of instrument cluster, remove the bulb from base, tape off the bulb base so it does not touch metal then try your high beams. If hi beams work, and rest of dash lights stay one, I would test the bulb out of the base, then inspect the light base. Perhaps the bulb or base is causing a short. Before chasing anything else, that would be the most obvious place to look first.

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…
