Gas tank on my 1964
Hi everyone,When I originally purchased the car I had a full tank of bad fuel. I noticed there was a drain plug in the tank. I opened the plug and drained all the fuel. No issues. Every since I reinstalled the plug I have an "ever so slight" drip. I'm thinking about pulling the plug again and reinstalling the plug with some thread sealant and some type of rubber gasket.Anyone ever had a similar experience ? Any suggestions ?See More

Running poorly
I could really use some help.My 1964 Model 62 is running poorly. The car is 100% stock and has 47,000 miles on it. I put the car away two weeks ago and it was running fine. I started it up yesterday and it was a different story. It seems to run fine at highway speeds but when I pull up to a stop sign it feels like it is running on 7 cylinders. It doesn't stall but comes close. Trying to figure out what could have happened in two weeks time !Yesterday I did the following:Changed out plugs,…See More
Charging the air conditioning with R12
Hi Guys,The never ending saga continues.I'm thinking that rebuilding the rotary valve has the pneumatic system working now. I have a vacuum pump and a new filter dryer. I also borrowed a set of R12 gauges. I also have 30 pounds of R12 (long story). Can anyone point me to a procedure specifically for charging ? I know the system is flat and tight now (I pulled a vacuum and it held for two days). See More
"Thanks . Just got done refinishing the valve. No big deal. Not very intimidating (once you've done it). Thank for the advice."
"Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your suggestions. I have been troubleshooting the AC pneumatic system and all things point to the "rotary valve" on the passenger side interior. I bought the $20 manual and it gives direction on how to…"

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…
