Really nice Eldo, owned by an Aussie too...... (i'd take the badges off the grille if it was mine)

Love the splatter attack "how to"

I'm guessing Dino still has a dicky ticky lifter?

Nice work on the house, being retired would be so relaxing.

Thanks Kevin. Yes this 64 Eldo is definitely eye candy! Dino still has a lifter tick so have only had a few short drives in the last couple of months. I had through through my course of attack a couple of times ... want to maybe freshen up a few other things while I am in there ... but need to remember what I have forgotten there, too! Once I get the roof framed and sheathed on the new addition I will fill more "relaxed" to stop and take on more car projects. I am supposed to go get Parts Car #52 in Cincinnati, Ohio on Nov 16. But that is still pending. Maybe you can read about that adventure in a December Newsletter.  

Try some Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer in Dino.

Its friggin good stuff, I use it in everything I have from the lowly mower to the Fleetwood. For the sake of $20, it just might knock that dicky ticky lifter to the curb.

 

I've probably tried it. I tried everything over a year ago but nothing is bringing that dead lifter back to life. I have had a new box of lifters and push rods ready to go in it ... just got to get to it.

Yeah mate, fully understand with the work load you have. The house with Mum in-law has to come first. If I was even remotely near your place, i'd just come on over one morning and hook into it for you. Bit hard from here huh.

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!

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? 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

'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…
