Hi Joe,

     The dwell angle is usually set from 28 to 30 degrees.  Pretty sure that is equivalent to .016 with a flat gauge by hand.  Just make sure your dwell gauge is still accurate - mine was not.  If the points and condenser are not one piece, you can get the flat gauge in there with the points on the HIGH spot of the cam.

Good morning

Thank you
yes it separate

Agreed the one I had was old one from Sears
Haven’t used it in 35 years
Found it in my mothers basement where I had some oils tools
Have a great day

You're welcome, Joe.  Use the flat gauge to be sure (.016) it is accurate.  I picked up a used Dwell meter on Ebay and had it checked with my friend's to be sure.  Talk soon.

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!

accumulator dryer

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on December 6, 2023 at 10:54am 0 Comments

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
