Kim, I posted here of the two different pumps. One has the original style impeller made of cast aluminum and the other is aftermarket stamped steel. The aluminum impeller was pressed on correctly and the stamped one was not. It was two far away from the housing and allowed cavitation. This caused my car to over heat. There basically was an air pocket at the impeller and it wasn't pushing any water around. You will need to look for my post on it.
i found that article,,, does the same hold true for the 63 and 64,, are they both the same water pump??
Did you just have the propeller just pressed down till it was flush,, judging from the picture,, looks like it sat up about .25 inch high,,

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 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…
