Got the fuel pump changed, tried to start, fuel going to filter bowl and is full. Put some gas in carb, several times, getba puff now and then, but iveral, not getting a spark to fire it off. Checkwd my plug connections, distri connectiins. Coik connectiin. I hv the petronix and am poisive those are correct. Attached picture of coil. Is tgerecany othr wire that goes here? I hv a yellow wire from firewall, the red petronix, and the little black wire from on top of tge coil at positive, a blk wire from petronix on the negative.
Were else shouod i look for?
Tachomter to monitor rpm at start up.
Can you time it before it gets going or is there enough spin for the light to pick up before it starts?
So jist hook up like always and shoot lite at timing mark? With some ome turning the enhigine over?
Will gv it a try tomoro. Battery on charger for tomoro
Late up w insomnia, i did some reading, somewere tontest coil. Then test for spark at plug. So, this a.m. i did that, coil was out of range at the center positive test, and tenth from being out on the positvie and negative post test. So, i figured maybe not getting spark at all. So for 28.oo got another coil, tested and it was in ranges for both test.
Pulled #1 plug w wire attached. Got in darknplace in engine, turned on the video, and tyrned it over a couple times, a whiteish yello spark was observed, so at least i know i hv a spark.
Will continue with suggestions put out by Tony an Mark when i can find someone to help.
Just throwing out what i hv done in meantime.
VIDEO ATTACHED!! After chging coil, hooked up timung light, adjusted, dist back to 0. No start. Retarded it, seemed more willing to fire. Backed a little more and it took off. Wouldnr hold. Couple more times and it finally fired, timing light looks at about retarded 10, using the appx size of scale. It smokes like hell under driver exhaust. May be burning off sime oil from when i ran the priming process to get oil to rockers. Also noted a pretty significant gas leak at carb. Enough to warrant shut off, gonna need a new gasket set i think, there, its tightened to proper torque. SO, will wait on that to come in, change out, and try again and fine tune a bit. You can see the smoke volume,
Any thoughts. Questions , concerns appreciated
Yeah, finally, but lots of breakin in left and timing adjustment after i chg out carb gaskets, it was really pouring out. Not sure why. But will try to tackle tomoro.
Nope, just removed it and replaced it

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!

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

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…
