Automatic choke sticking
I have a 64 Caddy with a Carter carb. My automatic choke sticks wide open once it cools off making it impossible to start. It appears that the piston linkage in the choke assembly is sticking in the bottom of the bore. Any suggestions? I don't believe lubrication is an answer due to it drying up and causing another problem.

Thank you for your reply. I will have to check my heat riser, that I haven’t done yet.
I have pulled assembly apart, cleaned and readjusted it a few times now.
It seems to be the piston inside the choke housing is binding up in its bore. Is a new housing necessary or can something be done to correct this?

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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!
