Crank shaft bolt
I'm working on the front of the engine on my "63. Does anyone know the correct thread size of the internal treads on the crank shaft? I'd like to go into the hardware store and buy a longer bolt to use in installing the harmonic balancer and am considering securing it with a shorter bolt and washer after it's installed.

most people do not have those laying around and most home improvement and auto parts stores do not stock them. The actual bolt is 9/16" - 18 x 1 5/8" long...with a very thick large washer. This turns out to be the same bolt size used on the large front bumper end to frame brackets and I literally have buckets of them if you need one. I use a couple of the large washers behind it to firmly press against the balancer. You can also get these bolts new from places like boltdepot.com but once I figured out the bumper end bolts are the same I quit keeping them in stock. If you need one of these bolts I can set you up with a bolt and 2 washers for $5 + s/h. …Added by Jason Edge at 10:04pm on September 17, 2018

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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

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!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? 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
