For anyone looking for the original style spring ring cables the correct length, I do have an extra set of these cables on hand and would remove the lower ground strap that attaches to bottom of negative cable and bolts to radiator support from an original cable and attached to the "69 Camaro spring ring cable as I did) making a correct fitting set for $125 + s/h.
Many use those incorrect bolt terminal battery cables and have to say a correct looking spring ring terminal able really makes a difference if you want you Caddy to look original and stand out. I was in a large arena with probably 75+ "Classics" and as best I could tell, I was the only one with the correct battery cables. They are also far easier to remove and installed. Just take a channel lock and open to 2nd grove and clamp end together and it goes on and off as quickly as you can squeeze the pliers. If interested in my one extra set of cables shoot me an email to jasonedge@nc.rr.com

I will post the transfer of the battery cable negative ground strap sometime in the future as an addendum to the article.
Covering all ground straps would be a good separate topic as there are at least a half dozen or more in the engine compartment alone. This "tech tip" focuses on the battery and battery cable.

I want to go back and add a couple pictures installing the small ground strap at bottom of Negative cable. For anyone looking for this setup for their 63/64, I ordered a 2nd set of the correct length 69 Camaro cables and will add that ground strap to bottom and put up for sale. Shoot me an email at jasonedge@nc.rr.com if interested.

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

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

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…
