"Doug, sorry...brain misfire. Yes, I'm very aware that the Turbo 400 came out in '64. I read that she has an Eldo and my brain automatically assumed 1964, like my car.  Thanks for pointing it out that the '63 had the Jetaway. "

All,I can’t believe I have to ask for help again. I really thought I was done with repairs. I did drive my 63 Eldorado a couple of times on side roads and all was good. last week I took it out bc it was not as hot. 45min Interstate, a short break and then about 15min back roads with a bit stop and go. And all of a sudden the transmission is acting up again. When at a light no power whatsoever in 1st hardly going forward. It then jumped into 2nd as soon as stepped hard enough in the gas pedal…See More

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

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on December 6, 2023 at 10:54am 0 Comments

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
