"Pop the battery cable off while running. If it shuts off you know the alternator is not working as it should or wiring isn't correct. I would double check all the connections, especially at back of alternator."

"Dave,      With the erratic shift in voltage, it sounds like a regulator.  Seventeen volts could blow your dash lights.  Be careful not to run it long.  Check alternator, then do the regulator. Dennis DiBari"

"Hi Dave,      While the car is running, what is the volt output on the voltmeter with everything connected?  You should be putting out about 14.3 volts.  My light stayed on last spring because the regulator was bad (the…"

"GEN light can stay on if  your Alternator is bad or not creating current. A quick way to see if they are working is to take a steel wrench and touch the rear center section. If working, it will be magnetized and draw the wrench (or any other…"

"Hi Dave,       That is the regulator radio capacitor.  They are used to prevent points from burning and to reduce radio static for the AM radio.  This may have an effect.  I would replace it and try the new harness from…"

Parts Car # 60 is History!

Here is my last view of a parts car when I have them stripped and taken to the local metal yard TT&E.Last night I removed the rear end assembly and other odds and ends under the rear of Parts Car #60 and strapped down for the short trip to the metal yard. It is always sort of a relief to get one completed, but know I will be looking for another one before too long. I need to finish my fence project and putting parts up from this car, but know if the opportunity arises I will jump on #61…See More

This Old House Season 46 Episode 1 Premier with 1964 de Ville Convertible

I was renewing my This Old House Insider subscription which gives me full access to every episode back to Season 1, Episode 1 in 1979, and noted a 1964 convertible for the promo picture for the latest season 46 premier where they head to Nashville. This aired Sept 26, 2024 during my recent road trip to San Antonio and missed it.When I see a 63 or 64 Caddy, it always stops me dead in my tracks and had to check out a bit of it to see the 64 Caddy. Here is the promo picture and took a couple of…See More

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!

accumulator dryer

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on December 6, 2023 at 10:54am 0 Comments

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
