Top cover with cadmium plated fasteners installed.
Valve covers back on Dino my 64 Coupe de Ville. Wanted to repaint them but just really needed cleaning. Next up … hard look at the intake and carb.
Intake and Edelbrock 1411 inspected, and cleaned and a couple fresh coats of Bill Hirsch Cadillac Blue paint for the intake ... which means my work on putting the 64 Cadillac back together will wait a couple days while paint cures. Made some good headway today though!

Mark, Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but the short curved heater return pipe to water pump inlet nipple hose is actually pretty decent. Anytime you have a tight turn and an overtightened worm gear clamp (don't we all over tighten those worm gears clamps), you force a bulge (not to mention a deep indention making tower clamps useless if you try to put them on that same hose). The return pipe to water pump hose was actually one of my better used ones. At the "bulge" the rubber is nice and firm, not soft like a heater hose about to pop.
With that said, it is a good time to change it out and did just that and added the tower clamps. I have a very long laundry list of things to go through especially when I go through the AC system.
So here is a picture of the new hose installed with tower camps and the hose that came off .. which I think like a woman sometimes you have to touch and squeeze in addition to just looking.

I could use some confirmation. I sent out my radiator for my 63 De Ville to get re-cored. Several weeks later, when I went to pick it up from the service vendor, I noticed a large amount of green…Continue

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…
