Looking for cadillac convertible. Just not a 63 or 64

Sorry to be off,topic but I would like to add a project to my garage. I think a 1960 convertible would fit the bill. One on a working mans budget. Hard to find here in Wisconsin so I figured maybe someone on this site can find my 64 a friend. Thanks

Looking for right hand manifold and 15"wheels

Hello, winter is here again and it's time to work on the 64 deville. Looking for 4 wheels in the se Wisconsin area that accept hubcaps and a good right hand exhaust manifold. The manifold can come from anywhere. Shipping should not be too painful. I did find some wheels for $50 each locally but I am not sure if it is a good price. Thanks for your help

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?
