looked at more closely on rt intake one of the ports is also white and top only of rt manifold is all whit e along with top lft ex. manifold is all white someone mentioned it cld be hot plugs
Kinda odd that the manifolds have suddenly frosted (assume a whitish color) within the month. I'm not sure it will matter but where are the leaks? Are they cracks in the physical manifold are where the tail pipe/heat riser attaches to manifold, or where the manifold attaches to cylinder head? You can often take a pipe up to your ear and pinpoint where the leak is coming from. They also sale auto stethoscopes pretty cheap at places like Harbor Freight around where I live.
jason have had car 24 years dont beleive they have been off it is both of them both fully frosted rt one newly leaking lft ono been leaking for a month no paint on them did paint engine blue no on manifolds not sure how long theve been frosted maybe a month
Have you recently painted or reinstalled the manifolds or is this something that just appeared on manifolds that had been on the engine for many years? Is it both manifolds or just one? Is it in one spot or all over? Can you hear or feel a leak? Painted manifolds will burn the paint off if it is not ultra high temp paints or powder coating design for the fire hot blast of the exhaust gases. I've had cracked and leaking RH manifold on a driver car I had a while back and don't remember it being frost color....but I could hear and feel the leak.

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?

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

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…
