My tank got ruined while being stored at a friends house and i need to replace it. Looks like someone put a hydraulic jack under it and just jacked it up, crushing the tank and splitting the seam.
I am looking for information on either a reproduction or a used tank. Anyone have any experience either way?
Thank you

Yeah it was in excellent condition. It was very upsetting to find the tank smashed up and nobody knowing how it happened or who did it.
Many Cadillac parts sellers sell aftermarket gas tanks. Here is an example:
"PLEASE NOTE NOT EXACT TANK It holds 4 gallons less than the original for 1963-1968 but this will fit and bolt correctly without any modifications. There will be a 4" void in the underbody cavity of your car that will affect nothing."
The 4 gallons less will help when fitting dual system. It might also be good to have 4 gallons less when storing the car in winter.
I would say it is time for the grandson, or whoever did this, to own up to some responsibility, else gramps locks down the garage (and any other unsupervised area of their home) to any and all for good. I could definitely see this happening to a youngster in a garage just playing around like the grown-ups; but, whoever did this needs to own up to it.
Would it be possible, somebody left the jack partly under the car and it came down (leaked air out) on the jack all on its own?
Just a thought.
Pretty crook someone would do that and not be man enough to fess up on it.

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!

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…
