AC Fan Speed

Now that my girl has a new heater core and everything inside the dash looks good, I was wondering.....My AC is blowing cold air but noticed the Air Flow could be better. Does the Transducer control Fan Speed? Is my blower motor ready for replacement? I was also thinking of adding additional Radiator Cooling Fans to help the air flow through the condenser at idle.

Any opinions or options would be welcome.

Thanks

CLC "Self Starter Online" Log In Problems

Hi Guys and Gals,

Can anyone please tell me the proper procedure for logging onto the CLC websites Self Starter Online. My general user name and password does not work and the gentleman who is responsible for this has ignored several email requests. He replied to my first question by simply asking me if I've received the email on July 1st? I have replied back to him 4 times with no response. "No I Have Not Received That Email".

Thanks all.

Lou

Anyone ever put a new child seat in a 64 Cadillac?

  Hi Everyone, I just installed new reproduction 1964 Cadillac rear seat belts in my SDV. Will these old style seat belts work with a new child seat? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

1963 SDV - Misc Update

Thought I would report back on my latest investment in my "rolling bank account". I finally found someone with  knowledge of these old rigs that actually cares about whether things are right when they leave his shop

The original radiator  had some green spots in it and some of the fins were starting to separate. It wasn't leaking yet, but figured it was just a matter of time. After considering re-coring the original or replacing, I opted to replace. Since I'm not "restoring" the car,…

HELP AND ADVICE NEEDED.

  My 1964 429 has a loose water pump pulley. I have taken everything apart four times and still cannot get it to seat tight against the water pump. The shaft on the water pump is still tight with no play. I fear this vibration will ruin the bearings if I do not get this fixed. I am not driving this car until it gets repaired. The four bolts go through the fan blade, spacer , and pulley. They will not go any tighter, yet still the pulley has lots of play. Any advice would be greatly…

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's Out There

Here's a shout out to all the Dad's out there, and all of you like me that were greatly influence by their dad's.  My dad Sam Edge had a huge influence on me in terms of my interest in automobiles.    Everything in his life revolved around  his two boys, and literally gave us everything he had to make our lives as good as they could be under the circumstances.

We grew up poor, and as a laid off and recently divorced truck driver for Burlington Industries raising two boys in the late…

Radiator Question

Has anyone out there replaced their OEM radiator with an aftermarket aluminum radiator??? If so, from who and how did it fit?? I'm a little worried that modifications will have to be done to make an aftermarket fit.

A recore job will cost about $450. Alum. radiators are selling for about $200. Restoration is not my goal but functionality is.

Mine isn't leaking yet, but is showing some green areas on the corners, so there are some weak spots.

I'm getting the AC fixed and…

Engine Break-In Procedures per Engine Builders Association.

When I rebuilt my engine in 2012, I found a useful guide by the AERA (Associated Engine Rebuilders)  that I went by when I broke in my engine and thought I would post here and put a link in our Help Topics page since this topic has come up a few times recently.

Here is the main link: http://gafiero.akroncdnr.com/docs/BreakIn.pdf

Message Board renamed Blogs and Forums Added in the Website Header

In order to get us more familiar with the set-up and use of separate Forums, vs Blogs (what we use for our Message board), I have renamed Message Board to Blogs, and added a new tab called Forums.  You can continue to use  Blogs as our Message Board but as you get use to some of the features of the Forums you will probably want to use the forums functionality for lengthy group Q&A type discussion.  These are just baby steps in what will hopefully be a more robust way to communication…

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?
