All, I just got my 63 Eldorado Biarritz and am looking for a good trustworthy mechanic/garage that can do repairs and maintenance for it since my knowledge about mechanical things are very limited. I live in south Charlotte, NC.
Thanks
Daniela

While I am in the Raleigh, NC area I am an active member of the Charlotte based CLC Carolina Region and would strongly encourage you to join the Region and reach out to members such as our President Travis Dowell who has lived in the Charlotte area and has had a fleet of Cadillacs over the years and can probably point you to some local Charlotte based mechanics. Travis is listed on the Carolina Region Website on the contacts page at this link: https://cr-clc.ning.com/contacts Travis can also get you signed up to the region so you can make contacts with other region members! When we are not dealing with this COVID mess we usually have meet-ups in and around Charlotte just about every month. Our main website home page is at www.crclc.org

Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely do that. I am looking forward to having meet ups hopefully soon.
Lol - That is good to know. Maybe I have to look into moving, too. ;-)
Thanks and looking forward to meeting everybody.

When I get some new shoes for my 64 Fleetwood, I'd like to recondition the rims. I'd thought of getting them powder coated, and still plan to eventually, but the $700 quote I received shunted that…Continue

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?
