All,

after over 18 months of headaches I finally can share a happy update! 
I have my 63 Eldorado back and it is actually driving!!!

There are a couple of things that I knew will have to get done before I can take it on longer trips but the engine is running smoothly again. I take every little win at this point. 
Thank you to everyone for the help and advice you gave me - without you I would have given up a long time ago. 

There is a quick question I have and I hope you can help again:

The mechanic changed the temperature gauge sensor on the engine and got one from NAPA that was supposed to work but he said it does not have the correct Ohm. The temp gauge now goes directly to hot when starting the engine - he said he manually checked the temp after driving and it is not overheating which is good. 
Anyone ever replaced that and has a tip/ part number for me? 

Thanks again

Daniela

Daniela, Congrats on getting the car back. I know it is a great feeling to be able to drive it again and I look forward to seeing you and the Caddy at one of our future meet-ups.
The temp sending units sold over the counter these days (and for the last few years) are crap and mis-calibrated sending the incorrect resistance (ohms) to the temp unit.  Good used ones have been in super high demand the last few years and I usually stay out of them, but do have a known good one that I pulled from the last running car. I sell these for $20, which drops to $15 for you with 25% Chapter discount and can ship for $10 for a final total of $25. If interested in a good used one shoot me a PayPal to jasonedge@nc.rr.com and I will get this one on the way.  Jason. 

Hi Jason,
There are still a couple of small things to get done but I am also looking forward to finally show the car to everyone.
Also, I just send you the money via PayPal. Thanks so much for the quick reply.

Daniela, The temp sending unit is packed and will ship out Priority today. thanks, Jason.

Thank you so much!
Yes, I got the first honks, waves and a gas station chat yesterday.
For me the most fun are the surprised faces when they realize it is a woman driving.

Daniela, so glad to hear that you've got your land yacht rollin again!  Sometimes its a long road get these rigs roadworthy, but the enjoyment is so rewarding!

It is truly a yacht but it is back on the road. There still are a couple of little things to get done but at least I am done with this chapter. 

Daniela,

Congratulations on getting your ride back on the road!  Please post pics.

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
