Is this modern Cadillac Art or a Rats Nest. I think it is more the latter.
I thought the wiring in the door to body rubber conduit … or what was left of it … from my last parts car was interesting and but typical of what I often see on the parts cars I bring in. The thing here is that these driver's door thick gauge brittle wires get bent back and forth thousands of times over the course of 50+ years, and most people take the lazy way out and just patch in the same spot hoping it will last a bit longer. Of course peeling into the door and lower kick panel area and running nice new thick gauge stranded wire is the way to go but takes much longer. Anyway... thought you might get a kick out of the over abundance of electrical tape!

I don't think I've ever seen one where all the wires are broken like that. Impressive. Does anybody remake the wiring harness that goes through the door jamb?
I have the parts to 'make new drivers door wire harness;s, I just need to do it.
Was the door replaced at some point in its life? A lazy repair and just spliced the wires?
Pretty sure from removing the door hinge bolts at door and at body the door had never been off the hinges! Again, this is a very common thing I have seen but it is usually just a few wires.

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?

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 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

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…
