In addition to serving as the front engine cover, the 1963/64 Cadillac front engine cover also provides mounting for several other engine components. Who can list them out for the cigar?

This was definitely a group effort and Russ, Tony and Robert all get a cigar!
So here is a recap of components the front engine cover provides mounting, in addition to serving as the front cover, and providing timing marks:
oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, distributor, oil filter, oil filler tube, front seal, and partially for the oil pan.
Y'all forgot about the fuel filter housing.
Not mounted to front cover, but is mounted to oil filler tube which Robert added. ...and of course oil filler tube also provides mounting for the oil filler tube cap. If we did the “Kevin Bacon” 2nd degree of mounting the list would probably run the into the dozens. Point here was to list those things directly mounted to front cover.
Bottom line was that the front engine cover was the ”Swiss Army Knife” for the 1963/64 engines!
Russ, I thought about that as I was drifting off to sleep last night; wife says I should get a life...

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?

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.

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