I've been using the Autolite AP85 in my 63. Closest heat range I could find to match the AC44 that came in the car. The standard Autolite 85 would be the same heat range.

Excellent- Thanks Jason. That is just the info I needed. Much appreciated. If I cannot find them locally, I will order them from you.

I ran Bosch Platinum and high performance plugs,   some hotter and some colder heat range, but went back to the old standby and use a Champion Copper RJ12YC.  Seems to run like a "champ"... no pun intended. If you need any of these I sell for $20 a set and have about 8 sets on hand.  I would have to go back and look at heat range (I think the 12 puts it a bit toward the hotter range as I recall?) of this plug but it seems to work well on my 64 CDV. I could  not tell ANY different from using these vs the platinum plugs.  It was what was cross referenced by Champion for the car and that is what I use.

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!

accumulator dryer

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
