   Has anyone had good luck with a replacement gas tank?  I need to replace my gas tank in my 64 CDV and as I look around I see advertised replacement tanks that will work, but the fine print states that they are 4 gal less than the original tank.  Cadi's aren't known for their fuel economy.  Would like to find something with the same gallons.  Anyone have any experiences to share?  Thanks Kevin

I have a question.  My 64 CDV is down for a complete paint and interior redo.  When  I disassembled the interior I found 4 hard rubber blocks under the front seat attachment bolts.  Has anyone seen this before or did someone before me put these in to raise the height of the seat.  Secondly, I was wanting to install new headlamps that would give better lighting for nighttime driving.  Has anyone had experience installing the HID lighting in lieu of the standard sealbeams?  Any advice would be…

Running Rough

Posted on November 10, 2013 at 9:09am 1 Comment

I recently completed a complete engine rebuild on my 64 CDV.  I have a continuing problem (both before and after the rebuild).  When I am stuck in traffic and the car begins to run real hot, but not overheated,  the car runs very rough and will stall out unless you are able to make it out to open road in which it will sputter a bit, but begin to run perfectly once the operating temp drop down a bit.  I have replaced the carb at a different time from the rebuild and it made no difference, the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

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…
