I'm thinking of proposing some kind of informal Cadillac meet up in the Southern California area, perhaps LA or Orange County.  I live in Huntington Beach and there are a ton of old cars here.  For example, every Saturday morning from about 5 am to 8 am there is an informal gathering of about 100 + classic cars (only a couple of Cadillacs) and hot rods at Adams Ave. Donuts in Huntington Beach.  It's a great way to spend the morning. 

Anyone in the interested?

Mike.

Hi Mike,

     You better believe I'd join you at Adams Ave. Donuts on Saturday in the early morning.  However, the only issue is 3,000 miles of real estate between us.  I'd do it just to see your dash board work and new radio!  Wish I could.

I'm in the San Diego area, and would enjoy meeting some local 1963-64 enthusiasts.  

I can make it to South O.C okay in the Eldo, but wouldn't attempt L.A., due to the crazed 90 mph drivers in giant pickups that think nothing of cutting off a vintage car. Whenever I have to go to L.A., I take my 602hp Callaway Escalade, just to have a fighting chance. No one's getting past that, unless I let them.  

The other big problem in SoCal (and probably other big cities, too) is all the early morning motorcycle groups that routinely blast past the 80+ mph traffic at 140+...splitting lanes, passing in the emergency lane, etc.  I've seen some scary close calls.  Sat and Sunday morning are the worst for that.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

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?
