Got pump put bk on. Poured in some AF into the pump.no sign of leak but only poured in bout 2 or 3 quarts.down the crossover tude directly into pump. Dnt kno if that will indicate further leak or not but thought worth a try before re hooking everything bk up.
Regardi g fat o ring. I had a little bubble up there on first fill up, wondered if two would work. Anyone tried that? 2 w sealant?

Yes, i nvr got it started and the leak was coming out of bottom of seal. Unless pressure builds during filling, shoukdbe any pressure shouod therr?
Other thing is, these are like fat little do nuts, as opposed to a sk8nny little o ring. . 2 is ok? Less goop
I dealt with the same leak when I changed my water pump a few years ago. Rather than using 2 O-rings, I turned a sleeve that fit on the crossover tube fitting and forced the O-ring down into the water pump and it worked great. I think I ended up making it about 1/8" thick. You could probably get the same effect by using washers if you can find some the right size.
Ok, thanks
Well, i got it put back togeterher up through the crossover pipe. Filled it up,to bout inch from top of radiator. No leaks, albeit not under pressure. So late today or tomorow, hv to get oil parts back on, and starr tonight ir tomorow.

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. 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…
