I was just looking at my list of parts car pickup in the last 3 years, starting with #50 in Feb 2019 and noticed that these last 9 parts cars have taken me to 8 states, with an average distance of 361 miles and total driving distance of 6,496 miles (3,248 x 2)!   Go back 25 years and the average distance was probably 50 miles!  A few were even just dropped off in the driveway.

Here is a list of where I have been since 2019....>

  • #50: 1963 Series 62 4 Window Sedan ---> 423 miles to Columbus, Georgia (Feb 2019)
  • #51: 1964 Coupe de Ville --------------------> 372 miles to Chattanooga Tennessee (July 2019)
  • #52: 1963 Series 62 4 Window Sedan ---> 392 miles to Cincinnati, Ohio (Nov 2019)

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

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…
