I just installed some correct for 1964 spring ring terminal cables for my battery and thought some fresh pictures were in order.
Comment
Battery is of course from Restoration Battery (www.restorationbattery.com) listed on our parts supplier page - www.parts.6364cadillac.com
I'll spill the beans on my other source (you might be surprised what I ended up using) in the next newsletter.
Jimmy, This was a quick relatively easy upgraded. There is a place called Lectric Limited listed in our parts supplier page that was highly recommended and got no where with the clueless lady on the phone this Saturday (...are they really known for making custom cables..I must have had the wrong company on the horn.....), but was able to match something within a 1/2" of specs for both negative and positive cable. Only thing is I had to paint/dye the positive alternator lead black (it was brown) and I just went through the process tonight of adding that short braided ground strap from bottom of negative able to the firewall where it mounts via the 3/8" hex head screw to the radiator support. I had to pry the tangs apart at the bottom of the negative cable and attached negative braid strap I had removed from an original cable and cleaned up. It turned out really nice.
I just installed new spring-ring terminal cables and had the battery out and cleaned everything up and wanted to get some new pictures in. These look so much better than the later model bolt terminal cables and are really heavy duty! I found a great source the correct length and my write something up regarding these in the September Newsletter.

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!

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…
