hi all
i need an intake manifold it anyone can advise if they know of one. also I have sourced one here in Australia but it appears to be off a 1960 engine. I have been told 3 stories - one that it will bolt in - one that it will need an extra gasket and one that it wont fit. anyone have any experience fitting older intake manifolds to 64 engines>?
Comment
thanks mate!
That's fantastic, John. It always feels good to get these cars back on the road!
just to finish this blog - intake manifold from USA is on the car - gaskets that block the exhaust gas entering the intake manifold heat stove installed, (heat riser has been removed previously) - timing issue mentioned in another blog post now sorted and carby rebuilt !!
so finally drove the car today with everything correct and its the bomb!!! yeah !!
I know I emailed you about this Russ - others may have comment -- I have read about people who have put a small piece of sheet metal across the inlet manifold gasket where the exhaust rises up.
in Australia we do not need any heat rising off exhausts thats for sure.
can these manifolds be welded if they are cracked?
Just to be clear the casting part # is what you see on the intake. There is also a Casting Date # and then what I call a catalog part #. If you go into a Cadillac Parts Department they have a Catalog Parts # to reference Item and these often changed as we can see in the example above between the 66 - 68 Master Parts book vs the 69 listing which as the same part # for 59 to 66 intakes.
... at least not on intake manifolds.
No.
does the part number reside on the manifold anywhere jason?

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

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…
