"Scott,
It doesn't look like he did from the pictures you posted.

"Russ,
According to the vendor, he ordered the new core by size, then it gets shipped to his shop, unpainted. He takes the original tanks off the old core and then assembles the old tanks onto the new core and he then paints the whole radiator.…"

"Hi Scott,
I took a good look at your radiator pictures for your 63 Caddy that you posted. Over the years, we sent myriad radiators out to be serviced at my dad's shop in Brooklyn, for all type of GM cars (1960s and…"
Radiator Re-core PLEASE HELP
I could use some confirmation. I sent out my radiator for my 63 De Ville to get re-cored. Several weeks later, when I went to pick it up from the service vendor, I noticed a large amount of green oxidation throughout the core of the radiator. I told the vendor that there was no way that this was a new radiator core, that brass just can't and doesn't oxidize that much in only a few weeks. He told me with a straight face that the core was "absolutely brand new" and that the process used to…See More
Car turns over, won't start
"Without being there, it sounds like a fuel problem. Without trying to start the car, look into the carb as you pump the throttle by hand. See if there is a stream of fuel. If not, probably little or no fuel in the float bowl or bad accelerator pump.…"
"Thanks Cees, I didn't think it had a shroud but wanted to check. I appreciate the confirmation"
"Hi Scott. A 1963 non-air-conditoned Cadillac does not have a fan shroud. Only the ac ones."
"Hi Scott,
I would change the master cylinder after all those years, as the fluid breaks down and gets too thick. Get a new one and bench bleed it before you put it on. You'll get a better brake pedal. I…"
"Dennis,
Yep, you're right about the weather and yes I am in Ohio. Live in a suburb of Cleveland, Strongsville. I'm not getting as much done as I would like right now.
I might just want that contact in Jersey. To be honest, I…"
"Hi Scott,
Very interesting about the Sea Foam in the gas tank - I never heard of that! You did the right thing by getting the gas tank reconditioned!!!! Every oil change add the Marvel Mystery and once in a while,…"
"Dennis,
Funny you mentioned the Mystery Oil. I am familiar. So back in 2008 and 09, the last times the car was driven, I started adding Sea Foam to the engine and fuel tank. I changed the oil twice, if I remember correctly. I doubt the little…"

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
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 0 Likes
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 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 0 Likes
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…
