Heat Soaked Starter
When under the car to change over the transmission (see my other post), I noted that the passenger side exhaust runs RIGHT under the starter, it made me think that could be partially the reason why once the car is all warmed up, and I go to start the car again within 5-10 minuets, the starter seems rather weak.
I am guessing this is heat soaking from having the exhaust RIGHT there. Is there a fix for this? Shielding perhaps? Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

A cause for starter lag when the engine is warmed up is bad battery cables. Even though they look good, if you see the metal wires they may be corroded internally causing resistance.

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
