Transmission vacuum modulator
Today I started to exchange all old vacuum hoses under the hood.
The one going to the transmission vacuum modulator is really hardened out, but I can't get that thing out.
Is it screwed or pushed in?
Didn't want to disassemble the whole bracket.
Maybe it is a good idea to exchange the whole thing, but where can I find it?

Found it in the shop manual.
I am still wondering what this is for...
And where to get replacement.

No I have a 63 with the Jetaway.
So no vacuum lines to that transmission?

The part in the picture that the vacuum line hooks up to is the Throttle Check Valve. It has nothing to do with the transmission. When you suddenly let off the gas, it slows down the movement of the throttle rod to carb to prevent the engine from stalling. It is referenced several times in your 1963 Shop Manual and adjustment procedures are in section 26.f page 10-33. If you apply vacuum with a vacuum pump it will start to retract the plunger until it is all the way in. Then it should hold vacuum. If it leaks down it should be replaced. It has been my experience these are pretty rugged and hold up quite well compared to some of the other vacuum actuators. If your is leaking down I have them for $25 + s/h.

Got it.
Problem is that I can't get it out *lol*
The hose on it is so hard I have to cut it, but can't get beneath.
I'll try some more.

There is a retainer clip that hold the diaphragm to bracket. Pull it out with a needle nose. Heat the hose up a bit on low setting with a heat gun. If it is that hard if you take pliers just squeeze the rubber at the nipple and it should break apart. Many ways to skin that cat.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
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?
Vintage Air AC

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

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…
