I've started taking my 1964 Cadillac apart to see what I am dealing with in order to restore the factory air conditioning. Not all is well. But then again, on such a classic car there will always be weird bodges and other signs of the car's long and tortured history. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
What do you think? Have I bitten off more than I can chew? (I have a pretty big mouth 😱 )
Sali Mario. Back in the 80’s you used To be able to get double 3 1/2” speakers in a 4”x10” frame format for retrofitting old cars that had mono single front speakers. With that that you could run a stereo head unit. I believe your car has a retrofitted stereo head unit which is why you found right /left speakers hidden behind the dash. It wasn’t until the 70’s that actual stereophonic receivers were put in cars requiring right/left speakers. Before that multiple speakers only meant mono front/rear.
These videos are soo useful i bought a project 64 deville as well and its great to explore it with you
Make sure to share the stuff you learn about your car as well.
Mario...Such bravery. I hate dashboard - jobs. Well ... If I had a really large barn, then maybe...but still like nope! 🤣
That Caddy is missing a lot of screws...Good luck!
Thank you! Have 64 w dash issues!!
The Regie will not appreciate you working on the car in the parking ... best of luck!
Welcome to the world of car restoration, Mario. This whole part of your life is going to be a series of things you won't be prepared for. Ask me how I know...
Great to see you opening up that can of worms. You are a smart guy so you should be able to fix it. It is a big car so you should have plenty of space...everywhere. Is the carburetor the right one for the car? It seems a bit too fresh. I think you have done the right choice to buy a new wiring loom. Can't wait for your new episodes. Keep 'em coming.
Please keep us posted on this build, where you’re getting your parts etc. I have a 65 Fleetwood.
You might as well replace the wiring, because the old harness is probably a brittle fire hazard. Also inspect all the vacuum hoses while you're in there. Like I've said before, these classic luxury cars were pretty complex for their time. If you don't do it right, you will be disappointed. Make sure to be careful with the connector pins and plugs because they too are brittle and unobtanium if you break them. Don't ask me how I know. Good luck.
Most entertaining!
Hi Mario. Research putting in Vintage Air. You can Google it. It will work much better than the automatic system, and probably cheaper too.
"that car sounds like my back feels" :D i can´t wait till everything is fixed, but to see your dream come true step by step is very entertaining to watch and i am happily following this journey.
You will be fine🤞🍀🐞☺
A single Bulb blowing a fuse?
One of the footwell Bulbs on the driver side?
Take care of the vacuum leak asap, your engine running lean which causing damage.
It actually runs very fat. Need to open up the carb an look at the jets.
Where did you find the comfort control book
