I was wondering if, while i have the back wheels off ground, drums off, if I can turn on the engine, and put in to gear, and check the spin of the axles to make sure no visible wobble or warp,, or, is that just an stupid thing to do? not putting on the on the gas, just checking on idle.. or, if that would do anything at all to figuring out my wobble before putting on the drums again.

Kim, take the tire off and put a few of the lug nuts on to hold the drum in place. Run at idle and check the drum and axle at the same time.
Ok. Soon as i get them bk from machinist. They are having trouble cutting new face in drum. Ssid they are getting chatter and not cutting clean. Thay have moved to the lathe to get more stable grip. At least thats wat they say. Hoping they dnt tear them up an i have to get new set. They are expensive

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 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

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…
