Well after apparently getting the ignition thing figured out,  a temp starter switch put in, i was smiling and took her out for a spin,, 

suddenly, the thing started sounding like a log truck,, if you have ever been behind a beat up old log truck, you know what i mean,, video attached.

as i am deaf in left ear, i cant tell if its coming from under body around the muffler or not, only hear it out the side window.  it doesnt seem tope so bad if i just rev the engine in park, but if i get on it while driving,, reallystarts to banging,, ,,so, i ask you people again to help me out here,, believe, me,, every noise and repair i make is giving me education so please dont think its going un noticed, i am taking in all these noises and problems for future, auto ailments.

Sounds like an exhaust leak. Welcome to the world of owning a classic car.

Trickle a "small" amount of light oil down the carb when its running.... wherever the smoke comes out is the leak, unless its the hole at the end.... :-) 

so were pretty much in agreement that this sounds like an exhaust leak???

hopefully that's an exhaust leak, could be worse. I would do a Kev suggested with the oil

so yo mean pour a spoonful or so of oil in the carburetor while its running,,?????   like you would gas to get a quick start???

or transmission fluid, any oil that will make it smoke profusely and come out the leaking gasket

today i went out,, poured some atf in the carb,  maybe two tablespoons,,,, plugged the exhaust pipe with a rag,  and i didnt see any smoke,, did i not add enough??  

secondly, took it out for ride,  my notes o the noise,

at idle,, almost none hearable,, at take off,,with no throttle, there is no clacking.. the clacking begins when i push the throttle..and, at what feels at second gear, really gets to clacking,, in park,, i can really rev it up, really get on it, and it virtually non existent.  

is there another likely suspect, or should i pour more than a couple spoonfuls of atf in the carb or try another method..i really sounds like one of the old worn out old log trucks that travel around here.  really clacking.  keep in mind,, this just "happened"  one minute fine,, next, clackity clack while riding.

i dont have any fluid other than the oil pump and the PS pump leaks, on the ground or apparent on the engine. temp is not going over 1/4.  everything seems normal except that clacking,, 

is there anything else i should be checking,???  

the starter change works fine, fires right up,, so much nicer than that dead delay sound

Sincerely

kim

here is the sound from another taping,  its most prevalent in the first 3-7 seconds.  after that, the wind noise sort of covers it,  and the speed of the engine, sort of masks it as it gets going faster.

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

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…
