Making more adjustments, i read manual on this adjustment. Also read many rod adjustments on forum. Seemed straiforward until i read this.
2. Place 1/4 drill shank through gaging hole in
dash relay lever and into dash relay bracket.
3. With engine running, set carburetor throttle
lever in hot idle position. Air Conditioner
"OFF".
4. Adjust carburetor throttle rod trunnion to
allow free entry into dash relay
The photo in manual doesnt show a gaging hole in dash relay lever and dash relay bracket. Were is this located so that i can proceed to step 3. Remaining steps i hv read enough here and manual that i can go forward, just unsure of that step 2 operation.

The throttle rod mount bracket on the fire wall is what they are talking about. If your car is a 63, it has the vacuum dash pot on it. The 64 has a spring and plunger setup. Step 3 just means the choke has to be off, and the choke idle cam disengaged.
They want the engine running to draw in the plunger so the idle can be set. I just disconnect the throttle rod at the carb. However, I know my throttle assembly has been rigged correctly.
Yes, moving along. A gentleman down street, i hv mentioned b4, has given me some hands on instruction. He got the carb mixture set. Idle set. Had this flexible tool for adjusting the needles, had this snap on timing gun that measured everything, tach, timing, , etc. He just moves around the engine as if its second nature, so i hv been trying to observe and learn. It really helps to hv a explanation as an operation is being performed., so, continuing to press ahead.
made the adjustment,, seems to shift and function better with the adjustment made,, I had the rear nut to far to the back and had to adjust it forward a bit..

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…
