Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you have a chance to check out our January Newsletter with the fantastic personal story by David Cotton. Here are just a couple of quotes form his endearing story:
"When I raised the hood what I saw was bad enough to bring tears to your eyes. He had used a cutting torch to remove the engine and transmission. In the process he had cut EVERYTHING. All the brackets for the alternator and power steering pump were cut, all the supports for the transmission were cut, all the power steering hoses, rad hoses and transmission cooler lines were cut along with most of the wiring harness. He had also cut the engine mounts- all with a torch. I knew this was going to make this restoration that much harder. Looking at this massacre, I became even more determined to bring her back. "
"My main goal was to have this Classic Cadillac on the road and certified before My First Son was born. I wanted to bring him home in Style- but all my friends thought it was impossible. I had a car from a Junk yard that needed EVERYTHING but I kept working on it! It took me NINE MONTHS to get the mechanical restoration complete and by late summer my Dream Car passed its mechanical inspection. My Son was born shortly after and the nurses all cheered as I pulled up in this old Cadillac to pick up My Wife and New Born Son."

The 64 hood V is considerably bigger than the 63 hood V, and one of the many things I have not done in dealing with these cars on the last 3 decades was to do a direct comparison. Someone asked about…Continue
Radio Models 1963 to 1968

I sometimes get asked what radios were used in 1963 and 1964 or verification of a radio model number, so I scanned the radio listing from a 1968 Master Parts Book that covers 63 to 68 which covers…Continue

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
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
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
