Door lock vacuum
Hey folks. First post. I hope I'm doing it right. I currently restoring a 1964 Fleetwood 60 series Special. There is an egg shaped vacuum canister on the left side of the firewall behind the tire. It has a vacuum fitting with two connections. I am thinking one connects to a hose going inside the car. Where does the other hose go?CaddyVacCanPwrDoorLock.jpgSee More

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments 0 Likes

In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
