OK, We have not done trivia in a while and ran across this items yesterday working on a parts car and thought it would be a good trivia question.   See picture below and name that part! 

Two hints: It fits inside something and definitely not something you would find on every 1963/64 Cadillac.

Is it inserted into a hose to prevent collapsing ? Or is it used on a door panel like for a window crank ? Or is it put in the gas tank neck to prevent someone from siphoning gas ….

OK... 3 guesses and the 3rd is correct. It is rather large, and goes in the metal gas tank filler neck to prevent siphoning gas. I guess it would prevent anything from getting pushed into the tank.. but siphoning gas prevention would be the main use! 

SO, RAY.... HAVE A CIGAR!!!

Size matters. Even if wife says it doesn't... ;-)

Can I suggest using a reference like a BIC-lighter or a soda-can to get an idea about size for next trivia?

I intentionally didn't want to give a size reference! In fact I tried to take picture in a way that would not indicate size.  Makes it more fun not knowing the the size!

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!

accumulator dryer

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
