I have a 1963 Series 62 convertible the  previous owner did away with the original rear section of the driveshaft and replaced with one without CV joints resulting in the dreaded rumble. I now have a good rear section coming that I obtained from Russ. I also have Dan's new trailing arms in hand. I will be installing them in the next week or so. My front pivot mount has two holes in it (see pic). I assume the forward hole was drilled  to move the mounting forward to accommodate the incorrect driveshaft. I wanted to get a conformation from you all if possible. I would like to do this once since messing with springs always makes me a bit nervous

Thanks,

Hi Norm, when I read the title of your post I thought this may be one of those discussions not in the appropriate forum that Jason was just talking about. LOL. Anyway, you are correct, the forward hole was added and the rear is original. Good luck with your project. Even with the correct drive shaft you can get a rumble if the driveline alignment is off. Make sure the motor mounts and transmission mount are in good shape.

Kurt, thanks for your quick response. To be honest I thought that title would get attention. it worked! Thanks again.

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!

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
