Has anyone purchased carpet from Newark Auto in Orange NJ  for your Cadillac?  They claim to be one of the largest replacement carpet manufacturers in the USA, and been in business 110 years.

I have not, but I want to find a company that produces a close replica of Cadillac's Tremont cut pile.  

The cut pile currently available from SMS and other places I've looked is not very close. The knap is too short, the feel is too light, and the strands are too thin.  

Has anyone explored finding an auto upholstery shop that'll make a set from scratch, using as high of quality cut pile as resembles Tremont...but is perhaps being marketed by carpet stores for bathroom or living room use?  

If there is such a carpet style on the market, a smart shop could make and sell 250 sets (at least) to us Cadillac owners pretty quick, I'd think.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 8 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

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?
