Fall Cruising
Been enjoying having my car back on the road. I recently replaced the brake booster/master cylinder, spark plugs, coil and a new power steering pump. The power steering pump was a bear to get the pulley off of. I'd definitely recommend not tackling without having the right tools. I used a hammer and some crazy contraption I made out of wood pallets accompanied by a vice. Use an air hammer with a brass tip on the center bolt and save yourself the grief.

I go down to Fort Lauderdale every couple of years around Easter and the weather is always phenomenal. I believe my grandparents used this particular car to drive down there a few times. It's hard to keep track as my grandfather had a bunch of these cars. Always bought the same color, too. I believe he had a '58, a '63, '64, '74 and an 85'. The last two left in the family are the '64 and the '85. I'd love to drive this '64 down there for the commemoration.

Thanks, Jason! Hope you can get Dino out and about before the cold weather hits. I'm trying to enjoy this fall weather as best as I can.

The Caddy looks great!! Weather is nice here in NC, too! Right now with the many house projects and Dino needing some attention, I am relegated to cruising in the '02 Escalade! LOL.

I'd also like to thank Russ for suggesting using the hammer to remove that power steering pump pulley because I don't think I would have ever been able to remove it otherwise. Also, don't buy the pumps off of Amazon because the one I received was beat to hell.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
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 1 Like
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
'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration
Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment 0 Likes
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…
