'63 Cadillac battery cables
Posted on November 18, 2013 at 2:51pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
Hello everyone,
Want to check my understanding of the battery cable hook up for my '63 Cadillac.
I have the negative cable connected to the negative post... then bolts to the frame just below the battery.
The positive cable connects to the pos post and then to the starter connection. Also the felt washers are to be soaked in oil before installation onto the bat posts per the shop manual... anyone do this anymore?

pertronix being considered
Posted on September 2, 2013 at 8:30pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
Hello everyone, I am considering the install of the basic pertronix unit, but wanted to ask if its required to remove the distributor from the engine to add the spacer above the gear at the bottom of the shaft? If yes why does this have to be done?

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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!
