Size of Masticated Rubber Behind Battery?

I ordered a 2' x 4' sheet of masticated rubber to cut a piece for the rubber that goes behind the grill on right side in front of the battery, and have misplaced the used piece I had set aside. Does anyone have the measurements and or pictures. I can guess at the size but would rather cut it the right size the first time.

This is often gone and have only seen in nice condition on a couple of parts cars.

Big boo boo.

Hello all. I installed my reconditioned Carter carb yesterday and forgot to connect the wire going to the electronic choke. Well, it went to ground and fried pretty bad. The insulation melted and I can't tell if the wire providing the juice is red or pink. I have to change out the wire and all fried connection but I could not find the wire on the other side of the firewall. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.…

Rocker Cover Restraightening

I saw a post here recently on how to restraighten the rocker covers which can flex under the rocker cover bolts.  I have an oil leak at the back of the passenger rocker cover so assume I need to investigate with rocker covers off.  Jason you mentioned how to straighten out the rocker covers. Can you revise that please?

Edelbrock 1406

Do I need the original spacer with the new Edelbrock 1406?

I did not plug up the intake holes in the "gutter" will that be an issue with the new carb?

Last question, is the vacuum advance for the distributor a full time vacuum or is it a part time vacuum?

Thank you everyone for your time

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!

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

'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…
