1964 Eldorado Convertible stalls while driving.
My 1964 Eldorado convertible stalls while driving. It completely goes dead, it will not start up right away. when you turn the key there is no sound at all. After sitting for about 5 minutes, turn the key and the car starts right up. Already replace the fuel pump . It still happens. Does anyone have any idea on what may be going on?

I had a similar problem a few years ago. In my case it turned out to be the ignition switch. From what you describe it sounds like an electrical problem. Check ignition wiring. connections, components, battery cables, grounds, etc.

If you dont know the age of the battery cables, just replace them. At the ignition switch, check for blackened or darkened connectors. That indicates a loose and heated connector. Check the connector to the bottom of the fuse block also. Connection at the battery terminal on the starter needs to be check as well.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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 1 Like
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!
