It sounds like you checked everything. As Jason said, there is a normal vacuum sound when you remove the air cleaner. I have a 4-barrel Rochester on my 64, so it is a bit different than your Carter. If…"
"With the air cleaner off you will get an air sucking sound. I listened to your video not sure I hear anything too out of the ordinary. With cleaner on do you still hear loud or pronounced air sound? If all of your vacuum hoses are good and…"

what size is the small vacuum line coming off the manifold?"

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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!

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
