"Hi Dave,      It sounds like you checked everything.  As Jason said, there is a normal vacuum sound when you remove the air cleaner.  I have a 4-barrel Rochester on my 64, so it is a bit different than your Carter.  If…"

"With the air cleaner off you will get an air sucking sound. I listened to your video not sure I hear anything too out of the ordinary. With cleaner on do you still hear loud or pronounced air sound? If all of your vacuum hoses are good and…"

Modern radio antenna …

Just replaced radios for the modern radios with Bluetooth and all the dance things and wanted to share how I went around the antenna knob… I’ve installed a regular two way GM window switch in the glove compartment box so it’s concealed and convenient as well. 91545F0C-1816-4841-AB34-5CAE52EE5B47.jpeg…See More

" When you say "boot" are we talking about the cover that goes over the top when it is down ? The top boot has a rubber edge that slides in a channel at the top of the back seat area  and is then secured by the snaps , "

BOOT

I recently purchased a new boot for my 64 convertible and was wondering how difficult it s to install. I'm not very mechanical. It looks like the chrome piece behind and at top of seats needs to be removed? I could find any videos on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. THX  See More

"That is not the right one. That one is supposed to be mounted to the exhaust at the end of the exhaust. That would be the hanger on the left on my last picture. Do you have a workshop manual? if so take a look on page 10-4 and 10-5. Your picture…"

"I’d bet that is where the seal is intended for. I will check when home. that being said, should there NOT be a seal where the tube attaches to the pan? Or is any sealant recommended there? Want to prevent as many drips as possible "

"Not sure about the paper over the carb but the hissing is not normal and is, almost always, a vacuum leak. In order to help find the leak, you can go to your parts store and buy about 3' of rubber vacuum hose (any size) and use it as a…"

"Hi Dave,      As Chris said, put your ear close to each of the vacuum hoses around the carburetor and intake manifold.  With the heat, they become brittle.  Look specifically at the 11/32 vacuum hose to the check valve off…"

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…
