TV Antenna

Hi Guys, this may sound odd because I have a De Ville Convert but I found and got working a GE 9in B&W TV that worked on 120V, 12V or a big battery and I want to mount it somehow in the back seat. I am sure the Limo version had TV's put in by shooters of that time. Question is what did it look like. Does anyone have one or a picture of some limos of the time..like a Caddy with a TV antenna on it? or even a Lincoln..I know I have to do the analog to digital switch but think its a cool…

Courtesy Lights

Hi Everyone, I have a 64 De Ville Convertible and when I open either door the Courtesy Lights do not come on. I can make the fronts come on if I turn the headlight switch knob counter clockwise and I can make the rears come on by flipping the slide switch on the lower back of the front seat as mentioned in the owners manual. I thought of pulling a jamb switch and jumping it to see what was going on but this switch has 3 wires and I could not track it well while looking at the wiring diagram.…

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

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

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
