Out of curiosity,, is the 63 64 engine capable of burning rubber off of a stop light?   Not a hold the brake and rev up and release, but from a stop, to burn rubber power?

I know mine wont because i have tried it, not that I like to burn rubber, but to see just how much pick up and go it had from a dead stop,. I know these are cruisers.  

anyway, just a curiosity question,,

Tony, yes, as you say, i have no interest in scratching out for the ladies at the light,, more of a does my engine run with the proper power.. I rarely go over 65 on the interstate,, and when i drive through town, i go slow as to be seen,, not heard.. i remember in the early 8o's, my dad had a 77 or 78 sedan deville, and a fleetwood after that.. i knew they had power, but even then, i never tried to burn out.

the only burning we did was one night, i was about 21 or 22, had some buddies in my mothers fleetwood,, I'm guessing about a 80,  of course, we were cruising, had a couple cases of beer going, the guy in the back lit up a doobie,   thinking nothing of it, we carried on, partied all night.   the next morning..  my mother came screaming in to my room,  who burned the fkn seats?????   well, the seats where the velour/felt type,, and a couple coals hit it..it was an aqua blue color with same sort of color on the seats,, couple of brown holes really were visible.   thats the only burning i ever did in those big cars...boy she was mad!!

Yeah, reefer!  We used that too.  Funny how the terms chaged.  We couldnt afford real wine, so we were boones farm, and md 2020 fans, when we wanted to exhibit culture.   Boy,  glad i grew out of pot early

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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

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

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…
