My power steering belt pulley sheered the woodruff key off the pump shaft and is pretty wrecked. Does anybody have a pulley for sale? Or the whole pump and pulley together?

WTB Original Working Horns
Hi, I've been driving my car around with no working horns for awhile and it's about time I buy some new ones. Looking for some good originals. Everybody else seems to be selling made in Taiwan or cheaply made reproductions. Would like to buy all three - the mini trumpet and two snail looking horns. Took mine off and bench tested them all and they're all dead and rebuilding them is expensive. See More

Brakes Went Out
Posted on August 8, 2018 at 8:25am 36 Comments 0 Likes
My '64 Cadillac DeVille had been sitting for awhile while I was travelling this summer and when I came home it had some issues starting. After replacing the plugs and the ignition coil, it was running better than it had in a long time but the brakes were sticking. I noticed the brake pedal was traveling a little farther than usual when slowing down. Soon after I noticed a hissing noise coming from around the brake pedal. Then I lost the brakes pretty much completely. I couldn't find any…

I've been waiting a long time for somebody to make this so I'm really excited to share it. I've seen people run Aux to the original radio, but this goes way beyond that. You can keep the looks of the stock radio, but with modern amenities like Bluetooth, Aux, and outputs for Amps and Subs. I posted the website and Youtube link to a Cadillac radio below. …

Does anybody know what the deal is with the caps under the cowl? I was cleaning out a mouse nest and found that the passenger side cap was cracked open. What are they there for? Does anybody have a replacement for sale?

OK so I figured it out the lens come out easy just stuck a bit. I thought it was a burned out bulb but its not. The right side all work but the left side does not blink. Very low light from the turn signal but the corner light on the fender just stays on. Where else should I look?
Thanks

Good morning! I am Matias Adrogue. I bought a 1964 Cadillac coupe de ville last year and am real close to the final restoration details! I call her “Jaws 64”. Pics will be posted soon.

I am ready to install a new system - Vintage Air or Old Air Products from Fort Worth Texas. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. I read the great write…
