Intake Manifold air leak
some of you might remember the air sucking issue i experienced last fall, i went thru 3 intake gasket sets and even with the thick ones from Best Gaskets (14046 E), it still sucked air. not as much as with the thin metal ones, but enough that the engine would stall when brake cleaner sprayed on between manifold and cyl.head.now, i took the manifold down again, cleaned the surfaces and mounted it without gaskets but with marking paint on the head side.you can now clearly see that the 2 surfaces…See More
"there is no crack in the manifold, i inspected it thoroughly when removed.
where exactly do they crack?
when i spray brake cleaner between the manifold and cylinder heads the engine runs rough or even stalls, now its the drivers side gasket, before…"
"you were right!
installed the manifold with the thin metal Felpro Gaskets (MS8931SH1) and guess what?
still sucks air!
absolute waste of time!"
"just removed the intake manifold.
i can't see a crack from the undersite where it sucked air, but on all 4 intake ports on the passenger side you can see that the gasket is wet and did not stick on the lower part of the ports.
i was using the…"
"i don't know about an electric or manual choke conversion...
the car was running fine before i had this vacuum leak on the intake manifold.
is someone using the FelPro metal gasket with success?"
"the heat riser is already removed from my exhaust job couple years ago.
how does the hot air choke work when i block the middle ports?"
"yes, it really seems the main problem is a vacuum leak between the carb and cylinder heads.
i'll give the FelPro a try, Rockauto has only the metal gaskets."
"replaced the Fuel pump today with a new Carter M3993, the fuel filter glass still holds not more fuel than before, engine still stalls if its hot and long enough idling.
BUT! i sprayed some brake cleaner along the intake manifold to the cylinder…"
"i installed a Pertronix 3 Ignitor a couple years ago, timing is 6-7 degrees BTDC.
did a full rebuild on the Carter a couple years ago.
car was running fine ever since and it was also hot as hell and had never experienced such problems.
i have a new…"
"guess i have to.
but what seems odd to me is the fact, that the car runs perfect when i drive on the highway where the engine needs a lot of fuel!
only when hot and at idle speed the engine runs rough and stalls sometimes."
"i raised the fluel level in the Carter by leveling out the floats a bit higher, to no avail, engine still dies when hot and idling.
i watched the fuel level in the filter and when the engine stalls the level is really low, below the filter:"
"i experience something today that can be described as vapor lock.
it was a very hot day and i had to drive the car in stop and go traffic for quite some time, the idle speed began to drop and the engine was stumbeling like it was too rich or lean. i…"

1964 power steering sector rebuild
Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you

Need help with a hood latch
Posted by Curtis Dover on January 2, 2023 at 5:23pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys, I need some help. Could someone send me some pictures on how the first hood release lever on a factory 1964 Cadillac is set up, where it comes though the grille. Not the secondary one. I need to know where the thumb or finger position is located through the grille. Is it above or below the center grille molding piece? Mine seems to be positioned behind the center molding piece and will not adjust above or below the molding. I have a wire tied to it to release it…
