"Karl, that is an awesome schematic. I bought the shop manual and scanned the schematic into a PDF file and am using a PDF program to color it, but it only has limited colors. What program did you use to create your schematic?"

Head Gasket / Engine Rebuild question
I had my '63 Series 62 convertible in for some other work and they noted the coolant was low and the driver's side of the engine was running hotter than the passenger's side. They pulled the plugs and one showed signs of being fouled with coolant.I know this is a slippery slope, but wanted to get a sense of how much typically costs for a head gasket replacement, and if necessary, what an engine rebuild typically costs (I know it can be a broad range). It's the original engine with just under…See More
Transmision Troubles
HELP! I've got a 1963 Series 62 convertible with about 140,000 miles on it. I developed a trans leak . I took it to the shop I use that specializes in classic cars, but they are less familiar with this transmission. They indicate it is relatively rare (few cars, few years). They are going to engage a transmission shop to take a look at it and do any repairs. They are concerned about getting parts for it, and that if they break into it and it needs more than just simple repairs and asked if I'd…See More

Wiper Blades for a '63?
Is there anything special about the wiper blades I should use on my '63 Series 62 convertible? I have the original arms with the original blade brackets. I got Anco N-18R blades that should fit. I installed them on the arms. but they seemed loose, so I took apart the old blades and moved the rubber from the Anco blade to the metal spine in the prior blade. It's still not great. Given there don't seem to be any prior threads on this topic I suspect I am making tis wiper blade replacement harder…See More

Bad Guage?
Posted on August 26, 2020 at 3:08pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
So I am troubleshooting my fuel gauge issue. I bought a new sender and tested it. It it goes from 1-ohm (empty) to 35-ohm (full). When I test it (outside the tank), when the float is in the up (full) position it only moves the gauge to about 1/2 full. When at the bottom (empty) position the gauge shows empty. This is the same issue I have when I fill and then use the gas in the tank - the gauge never reads ore than half full. Based on what I've read on this thread it would seem like 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
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?
Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
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
