"I suspect that the push button is stuck or the ground wire is shorted. The pump has constant power, but it is the ground connection that activates the pump. Pushing the button in connects the ground."

Car turns over, won't start

"Sounds like it is starting, but stops running. Does the float bowl have fuel?  Turn the ignition on and test for 9 or move Volts at the + side of the coil. I suspect the ignition switch is bad. "

"The 64 series 75 block is the same as all 1964 Cadillac blocks. However, the crank is different, it has the Hydra matic crank in it.  In 65 the block changed, so look for the VIN on the LH side of the block. It will read 64*"

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
