1963 Eldoado interior

Well we (my son and I) have finally made it to the interior of our '63 Eldorado and thought we would find the original interior underneath the seat covers that had been installed, but instead we find an earlier reupholster job that is not done in the original design. So now we are seeking any advice, photos, etc. or information of any kind on the interior seats of a '63 Eldorado. Leads on interior shops that may be able to reupholster the seats would be great also!

Thanks for any help…

Rochester Carby problem

OK so my Rochester is on the 57 Fleetwood not the 64 but I know I can get some feedback here on the problem... Carby went off the car and went for a refurb. Engine would not idle and the idle screw would do nothing. There was no bakelite spacer which I believe feeds the air to the mixture screw but now have installed that.  Carby back from refurb on it goes and same deal.. The idle screw does nothing and the engine blows lots of black smoke at idle (too rich I assume).. Any ideas what is…

Upholstery cost

I was rolling around town today saw an upholstery shop so thought I'd stop and talk about my 63 sdv front seat.

He said about $100/yd. @3 yards + $250 labor. 

Sound about right using the old leather?

This is a ways down the road, but just  getting ideas on cost. Also, anyone ever put cruise on one of these things(aftermarket)?

Thanks for any insight

I have a question.  My 64 CDV is down for a complete paint and interior redo.  When  I disassembled the interior I found 4 hard rubber blocks under the front seat attachment bolts.  Has anyone seen this before or did someone before me put these in to raise the height of the seat.  Secondly, I was wanting to install new headlamps that would give better lighting for nighttime driving.  Has anyone had experience installing the HID lighting in lieu of the standard sealbeams?  Any advice would be…

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
