Hey all,  the noise im lonking here comes and goes.  Its not normally at startup, kind of shows after abput 10 minutes  and most hearable at idle.  Last i was hraering it when it was really hot out, but it went away.  I believe the heat out was causing a vapor problem.  I took car out in hi 80s for abput 40 minute ride, got to desination.   Car never went over 1/3 on temp gauge, thought i was good,  Got out, went in for about 2o min and car wouldnt start.  Fuel in bowl was sbout an eighth high. Being 40 min from home, i panicked, got on internet searched vapor lock and found i could try and pour cold water on fuel pump, lines to try and drop temp.   After about ten minutes of pouring on pump and lines, it started!  Got home no prob.  Outsode temp had dropped to 70s.

The "noise" had not been around for a week or two,  then today, back again.  

Rrason i explained above was for recent driving for reference.

Here is the noise. It was dark out when i took it, seems more toward back of engine.  Any thoughts here

Thanks for listening

Well i think i got it figured,  it was pointed out the notch on the end of shaft not pointed in right dirction. So had to flip it back, reset the arms, and result was oil flowing up and out of top of rocker arm, down the spine, onto springs,   the squuek was not present at all.

Thanks to all who helped me out.  Learn something new everytime i fiddle w this thing

Congrats on the fix. I had assumed rocker arm shaft assemblies were installed correctly...especially after all the discussion we had prior about following the shop manual (in pariticular rocker arm installation on section 13.8, page 9-17 in shop manual) and the fact they had to be installed correctly. I pretty much always get things wrong when I assume these days. Not sure how many miles were on the engine with rocker arm shaft on backwards but hopefully no damage done. Regardless, fire it up and go enjoy a ride in the Caddy!

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

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
