I can't spot the traditional evaporator box drain tube on my '64 Deville. I don't like how the water runs down the body line. Is there an integrated drain tube? If not, has anybody added…Continue

Time for transmission repair, any suggestions?
My '64 CDV is starting to have torque converter issues. I'm going to pull the trans and send it to a shop I trust. Even thought I don't have any trans issues (except for a leak at the modulator) I'm going to ask them to give the trans a freshening up. Any tips or upgrades you can suggest while they've got it? I'm going to have them keep it stock, no shift kits, etc. While it's out I'll be changing the rear main and oil pan gasket so tips on that are appreciated to!See More
"There is a drain in the back of evaporator case with small rubber hose held on by Corbin Clamp. See below:"
"It appears that it just drains around the evaporator inlet pipe around the bottom of the evaporator housing? Wonder if it would work to carefully a hole in the housing and install a drain tube down?"
"Wow...this is vague? "Do I really have to remove the dash pad to access the back of the instrument panel?"
If you think that's vague you must be a hoot at charades!"

"No offense taken :D
Back to the matter at hand....my chief concern is damaging the dash pad taking it out as it's the original piece and I'd hate to crack or deform it. Any tips and tricks for removing it safely?"

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

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…
