As I prepare for the CLC Fall Festival next weekend, I find myself finishing up everything on my list that I wanted to get done ACCEPT the lower front grille. 

Jason put together a SUPERB front grill for me several months ago and I have been afraid to tackle that job. 

I have the whole weekend to get the lower grille out and put back in. 

How hard of a job will it be? Looking for any tips and tricks, thank you!

I would use plenty of PB Blaster getting the perimeter fasteners off the old one, use a bright headlamp, and just take your time. 

Does the bumper need to come off? It looks like everything should come right out of there!

Shouldn't need to come off. I remove the entire assembly when parting a car. At works you might loose the upper bumper outer to inner fender "hanger" bracket from bottom and loosen the 4 large bumper bracket to frame bolts/nuts to the bumper assembly drop a bit but I don't think you need to drop the entire bumper. Someone may have experience replacing in place and can chime in and I will look at my 64 again later this evening.

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

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
