Trivia Question 16 - Standard Item You could Delete for Reduced Cost?

OK. Here's a new trivia. There is at least one main standard (non-option) item that one could "delete" on a new 1963 or 1964 Cadillac for a reduced cost.  What is it?  For extra cigars, what is the stipulation regarding this special delete item?

Relax Kev, I'm sure a Fleetwood buyer wouldn't bother thinking of any equipment to delete. You were screwed on this question, Better luck with the next one : )

I don't mind the getting screwed bit, but he could buy me a drink first and while we're at it, a bit of love lube wouldn't go astray either. :-) LOL

Kevin, Better get the lube ready... I got a real easy one for ya over there on Trivia # 17!!!

Jason, thinking about this, I guess they had a control panel that only had left & right vents, correct? It would be interesting to actually find a car that was ordered that way. 

Kurt, Not sure if  you would still have venting with a no-heat car? My thought for a no heat car would be no venting, blank plate in dash, kick panels would be solid like on an AC car, plate on the blower motor air inlet area on firewall. Of course dash would be like a no-AC car with no holes for AC ducts.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

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?
