I'm thinking of proposing some kind of informal Cadillac meet up in the Southern California area, perhaps LA or Orange County.  I live in Huntington Beach and there are a ton of old cars here.  For example, every Saturday morning from about 5 am to 8 am there is an informal gathering of about 100 + classic cars (only a couple of Cadillacs) and hot rods at Adams Ave. Donuts in Huntington Beach.  It's a great way to spend the morning. 

Anyone in the interested?

Mike.

Hi Mike,

     You better believe I'd join you at Adams Ave. Donuts on Saturday in the early morning.  However, the only issue is 3,000 miles of real estate between us.  I'd do it just to see your dash board work and new radio!  Wish I could.

I'm in the San Diego area, and would enjoy meeting some local 1963-64 enthusiasts.  

I can make it to South O.C okay in the Eldo, but wouldn't attempt L.A., due to the crazed 90 mph drivers in giant pickups that think nothing of cutting off a vintage car. Whenever I have to go to L.A., I take my 602hp Callaway Escalade, just to have a fighting chance. No one's getting past that, unless I let them.  

The other big problem in SoCal (and probably other big cities, too) is all the early morning motorcycle groups that routinely blast past the 80+ mph traffic at 140+...splitting lanes, passing in the emergency lane, etc.  I've seen some scary close calls.  Sat and Sunday morning are the worst for that.

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
