Greetings Everyone.  I read a discussion thread about "radiator and related", covering coolant overflow.  Has anyone fitted an overflow reservoir / bottle to their 64 Cadillac?  Is there if a particular universal reservoir that can be fitted and attached to the radiator support housing or the passenger inner fender?  Then insert the overflow tube into the reservoir?   Thoughts / suggestions? 

I am monitoring coolant overflow and / or possible mixing with the oil.  If an overflow reservoir doesn't clear up the puddle on the garage floor, I will investigate a possible head gasket issue.

Several folks run the generic square coolant overflow tank. I see this in 99% of the uses. Amazon.com: Dorman 54002 Engine Coolant Recovery Kit Universal Fit ...

I mount mine on the RF inner fender right behind the radiator core support. 

Thanks Russ.  I'll check out the one you recommend. 

Hi Michael,

    I have a 64 Series 62 and albeit it never had an overflow for coolant, I decided to install one for safe measure.  I found one that fit perfectly between the grill and the metal frame.  Only had to drill one hole (the other was there) and it works perfectly.  My email is ddibari56@gmail.com and can give you a picture and details.

Michael,

I sent you an email with the information you requested.

I saw somebody do this a few years back. Thought it was a clever solution

Hi Mike,

     Any luck with the coolant overflow tank we talked about for your Caddy?

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 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?
