Steering Column Shifter
1964 Conv. non-tilt. Got in my car today and went to put my shifter in "Reverse, or Drive " and the shifter moved but did not go into gear. I looked in the engine compartment and my shifter rod from the steering column WAS NOT moving to change position. Can anyone advise what to do next?
Thank you
Dominic

On the non tilt columns, looking at your shop manual illustration, shift lever connects to shifter tube that connects to the shifter lever. It is a direct connection and all rotate together and I have outlined in yellow in illustration.
The carrier is pressed onto the shifter tube, onto a keyed area that keeps the carrier locked in place. It sounds like you carrier was not pressed onto the shifter tube all the way or has worked it self up and off the tube over the years. See the keyed area pointed to by pen in 2nd picture.

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
