Hi guys, my 64 coupe starts just fine but won't keep running unless I hold the accelerator half way and when I do that I can hear a few little "pops" in the carb any ideas on what the problem might be?
Thanks Jim

I can not leave my car alone. So the hood hinges, after having them chromed, were horrible loose and would bow out and not let the hood sit flush in the back, they needed to be rebuilt. I ordered the hood pins from Russ and rebuilt one side of the hinges, because I found I did really have to rebuild both sides. The holes weren't wallowed out, the pins were just loose, I think from the chrome company polishing as close the pin as possible and took too much material out. I decide to just…

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?

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…

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

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?

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
