While I know all the bugs arent out, but after a quick drive doing the 50 mph accel and quick decel part of the engine breaking,, its doing ok,, i think, but nothing blew out of the hood, of fell out on the highway,,,,,Yet!!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who threw in a thought during the process. Tony, who is always encouraging,, Jason, who is always quoting me the bible, but it evenually gets through, Mark, who has simple explanations that really help me out on the carb tune and searching for the simple answer for the back fires (crossed spark wires), Russ with all the parts and the shortest answers and suggestions,,and anyone else who had a thought or idea or suggestion,, it all went in to the process to hopefully get this thing back on the road,, not sure id want to do it again, but I know with some help and guidance, I can.
I have come a long way from the 73 eldo convert i bought several years ago, (its my go to car for summer afternoons up here i MT) and remember asking one time about the big black round thing that hung off the bottom of engine on the passenger side, and the guy over at the lasalle forum, I think he goes by tassie deville, said,, I'm cant believe I'm having to answer this question,, its the starter!!! so, I'm still gonna keep on trying to learn and ask a lot of stupid questions,, but I'm getting there,,
if anyone is interested in the cost of the build as i incurred them, let me know,, in the event someone else is going this route,
again, thanks to everyone,,,

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

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…
