I have had 2 sets of tires on my 64 Cadillac 'Dino' in the last 28 years and am scared to even look at the date code on those on there now so I went ahead and ordered a new set of the BF Goodrich 8.20-15 Silvertown Bias Plys that have have been running since day one.
I had an issue with a front right tire on my 2013 Escalade EXT while in Gettysburg and was lucky that I have a stack of 8 new tires at home and just had my wife to ship one of the tires. This got me to thinking about my aging out tires on Dino and checked the Coker Tire site and they still have them so I just pulled the trigger. If you buy something with Coker, they are offering free shipping right now, and if you register an account they will send you a 10% discount code. So I added the tires, signed up (even though I have been dealing with them for 25 years), got my code and knocked a big chunk off the price.
Here is the link to the tire and a picture from their site:

I still love these tires but nearly everyone I talk to says DONT go back to Bias Ply. I know my Fleetwood needs front end work and that would be a big reason not to go with bias ply, but I intend to sort the front end. I just love the look of these tires.
The only people I talk to that say to run the bias ply are the ones RUNNING them lol.
I agree with Logan! Bias ply for auto shows...radials for the road. Huge difference in ride and handling.

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
