Hi: I'm trying to locate the VIN number on my 1965 Cadillac limousine. Since the 1965 limousine is a 1964 carry-over, do I look where the VIN is suppose to be on the 1964? Research says it should be on the driver's side radiator support but I don't see it on my 1965. Any help is appreciated. JimSee More
"Just to add, if you bored the engine out any (i.e. 10, 20 or 30 over) you will slightly increase compression, which will usually offset or exceed any lowering compression from thicker head gaskets. Bottom, line you still have a relatively high…"
"Thank you Russ and Jason. I just wasn't sure if rebuilding the engine reduced the original octane recommendations. Jim"
"These are 10.5:1 compression. 93 octane, or as close as you can get to 93, should be fine. Doing the octane math, Cadillac recommended a minimum of about 94.5 using the current R+M/2 pump rating method, but 93 should run fine. There is more on…"

1964 - 1965 limousine carry-over question
Posted on April 28, 2013 at 11:21am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Hi, new member here. I have a 1965 Cadillac limousine which is actually a 1964 body style carry-over. My question is: Was the 1964 body style placed on a 1965 commercial chassis? I'm wondering, because should I purchase a 1964 Service Manual or a 1965 Service Manual (or is there no differences between the two years)? Thanks. Jim from Worcester, MA

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!

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
