I believe the shop manual refers to the vacuum dash pot on the throttle relay lever as a check valve. I have finally corrected the other vacuum leaks in the A/C heater system only to find the vacuum unit on the throttle linkage will not hold a vacuum. My question is, does this diaphragm have a calculated bleed or is it supposed to be vacuum tight? Mine is working with engine vacuum but I can't draw a holding vacuum with my mighty vac hand pump. Thanks.

It should hold vacuum, and when the engine rpm's drop, the vacuum drops, allowing the plunger to come back out.
I have a good part, just send me an email; russ85747@hotmail.com
Just to add to the discussion, Cadillac replaced the vacuum fed check valve early during the 1964 model production run, with a spring and orifice type dash pot. According to the serviceman bulletin they went to the dash pot "to prevent stalling after sudden release of the accelerator pedal." according to the Serviceman Bulletin. I've got both the vacuum check valve and spring and orifice dash pots. If you wanted to switch over to the spring and orifice dash pot you would also need the throttle relay bracket it attaches to.
Thanks guys!
Jason, is upgrading to the 64 design a remove and replace bolt it in, connect the linkage and go task? I like the prospect of eliminating a future vacuum leak if it is R&R then go. Thanks.

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…
