Dipstick seal
There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not enough let of mine to tell what it looked like, does anyone know a source for this part? Maybe it's not even original...

"There is no vacuum to the 1963/64 Hydramatic. The Turbo Hydramatic introduced in 1964 on certain body styles had a vacuum modulator but not the HydraMatic."
"James,
There should be a vacuum modulator on the side of the transmission.

Albeit I am not an expert on transmissions, that TV rod should be hooked up to the linkage, especially when higher throttle is used. Maybe Jason Edge would have the TV rod off of one of the parts cars? …"
Transmission questions
Hello all. New member and new to classic cadillacs so I have some questions. Last year I got my hands on a resto-mod 63 coupe deville project and have been making good progress till now. I don't have any of the original throttle linkage/pedal assembly including the TV rod. Would not having the TV rod hooked up yet cause the transmission not to upshift? See More

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
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 1 Like
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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

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…
