All,after over 18 months of headaches I finally can share a happy update!

"Russ, I have told her per specs car idles at 10 psi, up to 30 to 35 psi when pressure relief valve kicks in, and light comes on below 7 psi. I am assuming they have a shop manual also. "

"Just to note, Daniela is 1st up on my Wait List for a front cover but I am out. I told Daniela to make sure the pressure relief valve in the oil pump cover is not sticking open. Whenever, oil pressure suddenly drops after an engine is rebuild,…"
Looking for a front engine cover - 1963 Cadillac Eldorado
All, I am again on the search for a part for my engine - 12 months in and there seems to be a new problem. We have taken the whole engine out again since there seems to be an oil pressure problem so the engine shop is checking the valves and springs and everything else again. They mentioned that the front engine cover has a little wear and even so they do not believe this is the reason for the issues they suggested I should try to find a "good looking" used one. Looking forward to hearing from…See More

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

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…
