"Hey Mike. I found in my parts bin the part you need, I think. You can use it as a sort of template. If you want sizes i can measure it up for you. It looks like the sketch i made earlier."

Replacement 63 Radiator Recommendations
My 61 year old radiator sprung a leak (actually a few leaks). What are you guys using as replacements? Are you replacing with copper or aluminum? How many rows are you running in the radiator? How's the fitment? I understand some manufacturers require you to modify the bottom mount. Also, I've seen some where the transmission coolers lines are not the factory sizes. BTW- This is a factory A/C car.See More
"I found 1 picture in the manual that could help you and I made a sketch of what I have in mind of how it could look like. I would say that is easy to make yourself. It is free of copywrite. LOL"
"Cees - Your explanation is great (and your English is much better than many who's English is their native language SMILES). I thought that my bracket might be a little bent. I'll look at mine compared to yours and that will help me to get…"
"That is not the right one. That one is supposed to be mounted to the exhaust at the end of the exhaust. That would be the hanger on the left on my last picture. Do you have a workshop manual? if so take a look on page 10-4 and 10-5. Your picture…"
"Not sure about the paper over the carb but the hissing is not normal and is, almost always, a vacuum leak. In order to help find the leak, you can go to your parts store and buy about 3' of rubber vacuum hose (any size) and use it as a…"
"Thanks for the pictures, Cees. I'm wondering if my hanger which is on the body is correct. Jason sold me a hanger that attaches to the pipe over the axle and is supposed to fit into that hanger but I can't figure how to attach it to my…"
"Mike. Picture of one part of the hanger on the right place"
"I must correct myself. The hanger on my picture is the "front intermediate pipe hanger". According to the Workshop manual. I enclose a picture of the "rear intermediate pipe hanger". It is a bit out of focus, but if you zoom in…"
"Hi Mike. Your hanger is on the wrong place. It is not supposed to be there and as you say, you are missing a part. That hanger (the missing part) should be mounted on the chassis. Not near the shock mounting."
" Hey Mike, I'm sorry I can't help you with this . I would just like to add I've got the same issue with my 63 SDV, that bracket is missing from my fairly original low milage car. No problem , I thought , I'll just go…"

63 Exhaust Hanger Mystery
I'm in the process of installing a stainless steel single exhaust from Classic Exhaust on my '63 Coupe de Ville. I'm running into a mystery regarding my middle exhaust bracket. I have the bracket that goes on the body but I'm missing the piece or pieces that attach the pipe to that body bracket. I've attached a picture of the bracket I have (the pic is taken looking up over the rear axle where the "over the axle" pipe will run). I was hoping someone on this forum would be so kind as to post…See More

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle 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
