I know  carburetor action/function is very old hat to many here, but i ran across this video with a guy that built a carb out of clear material, hooked up to his dads tiller, and used a high speed camera to film the function of a carb.  It was fascinating!!  As i have never really known for sure what was going on in there, this video made it completely clear the basics of a a carburetor.  What was really interesting is the dad in the video seems to know a lot more about carbs that his engineer son!!  the high speed camera really gives it meaning and context and gave me the visual explanation my brain needs to sort things

Getting along good. Still in breakin, hvnt had a chance to do a lot of driving. I live in a rural area, and normal day to day driving as described it difficult as everywere i need to go is at hiway speed, and it says to avoid long hiway speed drives until 500 miles.

I hv about 250 miles on the breakin in.  Got the o rings for the trans dipstick put in and chged trans filter while there.  No more trans leak!  Yeah!   I hv the nss to try to fix.  Put the ac comp back in and hook up,   that would be abput it.  Probably shoukdnt say this but its really a quiet engine at idle.  Knock on wood, stays that way

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

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…
