I read a post a while back about high output alternators has anyone gone through it or had a problems?

I am possible looking at 100-140 amp, I have two air pumps, dual batteries, and eventually a large stereo, plus the existing electrical system.

I am ready for one for my 63 Cadi, finally got the motor and trans in, and I would like some input.

I have everything hooked up and absolutely no issues, everything is working great, charges my dual optima batteries and keeps my dual air compressors going. I used PWM-37295

I might have to look into this. My lights dim at idle and also whenever I use the power windows or the power seat. Was this an expensive/time-consuming upgrade Russ?

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
