guys do exhaust manifolds from a 1964 Fleetwood 429 fit on a 390 from a 63 ?

Does anyone know what this is, I took it off of my 63 Fleetwood. I looked online for a picture of it and to see what it was for. I won't be putting back on just curious…

What should the vacuum be at for the door locks and trunk?

I am, at idle, around 18-20 inHg, but it does not seem to be enough to raise or lower the door locks or release the trunk. So I vacuum tested the drivers door and it checked out (no leaks/ held vacuum), still would not raise or lower lock, should the other doors be checked or do I just not have enough vacuum?

Can someone send me a detailed pictures as to where the end of these rods go in front of the core support, I think I might be missing a piece, but either way I can't see where the bolt up on the bottom, I see the where the mount to the top.…

This post is a lot of blab, but I hope sharing what I have experienced and did with my car this summer will be of benefit to some of you.

 Last year (2014) I drove my car up until about mid November; it was running great when I parked it in the garage. The weather turned bad, life took over and the car remained parked without being driven or even started until mid February. We had a pretty day so the wife and I took the car out for a 30 mile run and to fill the tank up with some fresh…

Some of my spark plugs are burning rich and some are perfect. The 2nd and 4th in on driver side and the 5th and 8th in on the passenger side are the ones burning very rich. I changed the wires to see if I had bad wires and the same issue. I have a 1406 elderblock carburetor. I read Jason's post on the carburator and  pulled the carb and noticed the holes in the "gutter" were not plugged. I there were no other holes on the top of the manifold. Any one have any idea's and should the gutter…

Just brought to California the Lime green 1964 Cadillac Coupe DeVille my father purchased in '64. He drove it 2 years and sold it to my grandfather, who drove it about 15 years. It then sat in his garage for 10 years, and then sat covered outside my uncles house for another 10 years. In 1992 my uncle gave it to my brother who shipped it to his home in Scottsdale AZ, where it sat in his garage for another 14 years. He intended to restore it, but never got around to it. His widow just gave it…

Might include something in the next newsletter but I have been putting the right side trim back on my 64 CDV after having the body work and paint redone on the RH…

Recently my headlights have been flickering from high beam to low beam in rapid succession, but only periodically.  Also sometimes when I try to turn on brights they won't come on, and then suddenly they may come on and then flick back off, or may stay on.  Autronic Eye is turned off but need some thoughts on what may be causing this.  Bad floor switch?  Short in system?  Doesnt seem to act up until I try to turn on brights, then it is anyone guess what will happen.

I just rebuilt my 1964 429 engine and I have a Elderbrock 1406 carburetor on it. I reviewed the blogs and I have an issue with it burning rich at idle. I talk with Elderbrock and they said advance the timing to 10 degree. My mechanic was hesitant but we did it. I still have a rich fuel burning also with black carbon out the exhaust. We are getting a little condensate out the back also. Any help or idea?

Thanks

Dominic

To start i want to say nothing wrong with customs. But, along with Tony and Ginny 429 many words  of wisdom it is enough to maintain in original condition. Cadillac built the car to run like Chuck Berrys Maybelline, my orig. carb . gets me 13 mpg. on the road ,70-75 mph.and if i feel the need to pass rice Irocket,no problem! I am glad others kept my car orig for me to enjoy now! the next generations will enjoy. I had a carter restored at Benchwick carbs. inc. ohio 330-782-3767, not only did…

Every year or so I pull pictures off my wife's iPhone and organize them in folder by date. I have been pulling them off but behind on organizing them. Here is one I thought was funny where she caught me standing on the tailgate of the Escalade taking a picture of the 429 engine I had just rebuilt. Picture is kinda fuzzy but thought it was funny nonetheless.…

Is anybody else watching this auction? I don't think I've ever seen hubcaps go for prices like this, though I can't recall the last time I saw real, in box, NOS caps. Link below
