DIDGAKNOWTHAT? - Notches for Holding License Plate Door Open when "Filling Up!"

I casually mentioned during our Zoom meeting Sunday that there are notches for using the gas cap to hold the license plate door open while filling up and a couple of members indicated they did not know that so I thought it was worth posting here. 
I have a couple of other DIDGAKNOWTHAT items, and might make this into another recurring topic.

So, here is DGKT #1:

Gas Tank Filler Cap for Holding License Plate Door Open:
- simply open the license plate - filler door and wedge cap in between arrows as seen below. This is my 64, but the same thing for 63 with notches in same general area.

Wedging cap in notches makes filling up 1000x easier!

Hi Jason,

     Thank you for answering my question - never knew about this (along with other things I'm sure).  I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks Jason!

Actually this is mentioned in Owner’s Manual page 37 but there is no photo.

I always open the cap with right hand and try to fit that to RIGHT SIDE vertically between the door and the chrome frame but usually it does not work. 

"Actually this is mentioned in Owner’s Manual page 37 but there is no photo."   While it is mentioned in the 1964 owners manual it is not in the 1963 manual.  Regardless there is a large % of questions I get asked day to day that are right there in your owners manual.

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!

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
