If the small hole in the intake manifold (the one that goes to the choke) is blocked off, then the internal choke tube is probably rusted and clogged. If that is the case, then an external choke stove is needed to…"

Hot Start/Ignition System Overhaul 1964 Fleetwood
I noticed this issue at the end of last summer/fall, but it seems to be getting worse as I have begun driving for the season again. When I drive the car and get everything good and warmed up, if I shut the car off and get back into it and start it before it cools out, it starts really hard. Like it takes a good 15-20 minutes before it will start again to what I would call normal starting. I am wondering if this has something to do with the exhaust crossover tube? Is hard starting when warm a…See More

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 1 Like
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
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…
