One of my goals is to get another 1964 429 and rebuild it my self for fun. My Fleetwood, to my knowledge, is just fine. No engine issues. But now that I have a spare transmission, might as well have a spare motor too!
I don’t need a spare, but would be a fun project to work on and then eventually when the Fleetwood does need a rebuild, I’ve got one already build and ready to go! Seem logical if you ask me HA!
I know 64 blocks are hard to find, but I wanted to confirm a few things:
1) Will a 429 out of a 1964 Series 75 Limo work? I know they carried over for 1965 so curious if they had adapted the block and trans at that time as well.
2) 64 is a one year only block and transmission, correct? What are the differences in the block and what should I look for to confirm I have the correct block? Are there engine number stamping that I could reference as a sure fire way to know it’s a 64 429 block?
Thanks!

The 64 series 75 block is the same as all 1964 Cadillac blocks. However, the crank is different, it has the Hydra matic crank in it.
In 65 the block changed, so look for the VIN on the LH side of the block. It will read 64*

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!

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…
