Replacing Worm Gear Hose Clamps with Tower Clamps

I've started replacing my worm gear clamps with correct for 63/64 tower clamps and started with the radiator hose clamps on the top and had to screw the 2 1/16" top clamps almost all the way to get them to tighten.  After running the engine I noticed I had a drip leak on the top radiator side clamp and I…

Self-Starter article on the 429 engine series

I would like to obtain a copy of the Self-Starter's article on the 429 engine series.  I think it was originally published in the July 2003 edition.  Does anyone have a copy to share or any ideas of how to obtain a copy?

Thank you.

tilt steering/ horn trouble

I installed a tilt steering column from a 63 Caddy parts car in my 63 convertible and am having trouble with the horn. Does anyone recall if there are spacers, insulators, or washers around the plastic backed, brass horn ring? I can't tell from the service bulletin, but the horn shorts out and the contact ring is the location of the short. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Getting Ready for CLC Eastern NC Region Meet-up Today

I'm really looking forward to our local meet-up today with the Eastern NC CLC region and had the 64 CDV out for a spin last night with Cheryl and Lucky. It's cleaned up and full of gas and ready for today!

Yesterday I replaced some of the worm gear hose clamps with tower clamps and worked on a few other odds and ends and she is purring like a kitten!

Here's a quick picture of the Caddy outside our local AutoZone picking up some supplies.  That is Miss Lucky looking out the…

Pics from Cadillac show yesterday

Our local CLC chapter had their annual show at Covert Cadillac in Austin TX yesterday.

There is an interesting story on the 61 limo. A man wanted to purchase a car for some nuns. They reluctantly agreed but insisted that it be bare bones with no radio or air conditioning. When the 61 series 75 showed up of course even without a radio or a/c it was way too ostentatious. The nuns tried to return it to the dealer but they said they could not sell it because it didn't have a/c. So most…

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

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

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
