New steel brake line ROUTING. I cant remember where on my 1964 Convertible

I am installing new stainless brake lines and can't remember how to correctly route the main longest line through the X frame area.

Please send photo's if anyone has any?

Thank you in advance

Hi Don,

You can find detailed photos in the Nov 2015 Newsletter featuring Neil Gray’s 64 Eldorado frame off restoration. You find even more pics on this site:

But I don’t think it’s possible to change the longest stainless brake line over the frame without lifting the body off first. At least I was not able to do that.

Samu,

Thank you very much for your help.

I did loosen the body bolts and removed a few and it made  three inches more room.

It seems that these Cads have hidden secrets

Excellent photos on Neil Gray"s newsletter

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments
