Passenger ash tray - 63CDV

Hi all,

Kind of an unimportant thing but one that drives me nuts. How do you stop the passenger ash tray from rattling? Its also very hard to open. I see the latch mechanism but don't see any adjustment on it. Has anyone else ran into this?

Tired of trying to drown it out with the radio.

Thanks for any advice.

1964 Cadillac Fuel Pump.

I am going to install a new Fuel Pump this week. It looks very simple in the manual. Although I do have one question. The manual says to make sure the camshaft eccentric is at the highest point. Could someone please tell me how to do this? Thank you.

Waking up an old trumpet horn

I just purchased a used trumpet horn at the Hershey swap meet. I was missing the trumpet horn, but had the two smaller horns. The two smaller horns both worked fine. I cleaned the bracket and bolted the trumpet horn down tight where one of the other horns was and hooked the power wire up to it. I heard a very weak honk and then just the click of the relay. The horn sounds like it has some corrosion shaking around inside of it. I'd hate to have to rebuild it. Any suggestions for reviving…

The Elvis-Scalade ....with a 1964 75 Series in Sept Self Starter

I finally got around to scanning last month's self starter page with my Escalade EXT featured. It wears the Elvis license plate and as a fan of the man call it the Elvis-Scalade.    As you will read, I love my Escalade EXT and it has easily been the most versatile, useful vehicle I have ever owned.  This vehicle simply defines Luxury Sports Utility Truck,

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?
