Thank you for the help. It is a 63 and sounds like connecting the hoses may solve any issues?

Dave, Your 63 does not have a Comfort Control System or Thermal Vacuum Valve so you can ignore the prior replies regarding the 64 system.
That is the Water Control Valve in your diagram circled. It allows hot water to enter the heater core when in "heat" mode, and blocks hot water from entering when heater  not on.  You can see it in the 1963 Shop Manual on page 13-1, Fig 13-1. 

Your Picture is low res and I cannot tell where the other end of the vacuum hoses originate or the color striping on them which is key to using the 1963 Cadillac Shop Manual to understand where they connect. I am also not sure if this is an AC equipped car or non-AC. That will make a big difference.  You can see the vacuum line set-up for Non-AC cars in the shop manual on Page 13-2, Fig 13-3; and for AC equipped cars on page 13-18, Fig 13-16.

If you do not have a shop manual that should be your very next purchase as it will answer  many of these basic questions. If you don't have a shop manual you can find repros in print and cd, and originals on eBay, Etc. I have an excellent original 1963 Shop Manual for $60 ($45 as a Chapter Member).

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

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 would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

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…
