I am the Rochester guy but going to be installing Carter in my buddys Caddy… and have a question regarding the steel shim…
Should I apply the gas resistant sealant or another gasket instead???

Just use all the recommended gaskets under the Carter carb ——no sealant needed
The aluminum gasket is required with the stock Carter for the engine to run correctly —- covers an air hole of some kind in the bottom of that carb

You must use sealant, otherwise you will have a vacuum leak. Even the shop manual mentions using a cement. Todays sealants are much better than the older stuff.

Hey Russ
I can only say that I have never used a sealant myself on my stock Carter carb base gaskets with no vacuum leaking issues
I do now have an Edelbrock 1406 but the base gaskets are still the same as those used for the stock Carter in my caseThat is why I responded as I did

1964 power steering sector rebuild
Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you

Need help with a hood latch
Posted by Curtis Dover on January 2, 2023 at 5:23pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys, I need some help. Could someone send me some pictures on how the first hood release lever on a factory 1964 Cadillac is set up, where it comes though the grille. Not the secondary one. I need to know where the thumb or finger position is located through the grille. Is it above or below the center grille molding piece? Mine seems to be positioned behind the center molding piece and will not adjust above or below the molding. I have a wire tied to it to release it…
