Good independent mechanic recommendation West LA, CA area?
This is off topic as my daughter is NOT driving my '64 Cad in LA, but a yeoman old Saturn (recent impoverished college grad). I am 2000 miles away and unable to review and service the car. Can anyone recommend a "real guy" independent mechanic who can give the car a "going over" replacing fluids and inspecting what needs to be done so I can feel comfortable she can use it safely for a while? Obviously the local "oil change place" is not going to cut it for my sense of comfort. Please forgive the non-'63/64 Cad-specific question.

Not in West L.A. but about 15 miles away in Torrance is a place I can recommend. I work across the street and know the owner. He can certainly do what you are asking if your daughter wants to make the drive.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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
