"The brake peddle should be -hard as a rock at the bottom of its travel -unlike ABS brakes
I think my peddle travel is aprox about half of what yours is

My power steering has been squeaking and leaking, so it is probably time for a new pump. I've noticed that there are many different distributors, but can anybody recommend a particular seller from…Continue

Just received a fresh rebuilt booster back from Booster Steve. The one I had was not the stock one for 1964, but he had a core handy that he rebuilt for me.…"
Clovis commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"It sounds like things are coming along for you Christopher. When i got my car 4 years ago i rebuilt my wheel cylinders and bought a new boster/master combo off ebay. Not the cheapest but wasnt so bad that it was prohibitive. "
Christopher Codd commented on Ray Schick's blog post Battery Cable Hold Down"Nice! I'm all for ditching all the plastic on these cars. I still have what's left of the broken plastic clamp on my radiator housing and that looks to be a great replacement option. "
Christopher Codd commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"Yeah, the paint laid out really nice. I had to paint the rest of the master cylinder while it was hooked up in the engine bay and it was a tight squeeze, but now I won't have to bleed the system again. "
Jason Edge commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"Eastwood is good paint. I have had excellent results with their paints."
Christopher Codd commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"Getting antsy waiting on my brake booster to be rebuilt, so I'm replacing the power steering pump now and repainting the master cylinder with some Eastwood Brake Gray paint.

Christopher Codd commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"Jason, I can still see the old brake parts on most of the websites, but they're all out of stock. It's a real bummer.

Christopher Codd replied to Jason Edge's discussion Is it Door Jamb Modern Art or a Rats Nest"I don't think I've ever seen one where all the wires are broken like that. Impressive. Does anybody remake the wiring harness that goes through the door jamb?"
Jason Edge commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"Hopefully it is just a busted check valve. The availability seems cyclical as Delco's are available then Bendix, and back and forth but with diminishing windows of availability. It seems they wait until they have a batch for rebuilt then become…"
Christopher Codd commented on Christopher Codd's blog post Brakes Went Out"Just a little update on this. It seems that nobody is selling the Delco brake booster/master cylinder anymore. I went ahead and bought the Bendix master cylinder since that was the only one I could find. Could not find a Bendix booster. I bench bled…"
Christopher Codd replied to Matt H's discussion Rear quarters and rockers"You would have to cut the rear quarter panels off of a parts car, but it looks like you're in California, so it shouldn't be too hard to find some rust free ones in your area.

Brakes Went Out
Posted on August 8, 2018 at 8:25am 28 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?

Vince Torrano said… 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

HVAC Vacuum Valve Clip-need the one for the Power Control side
Posted by Norman Silverman on September 17, 2018 at 8:15pm 58 Comments 1 Like
Hi.
Update:
I removed both 7 nipple vacuum valves and called my buddy who owns a machine shop. Tomorrow we'll re-surface the valve faces and then I'll reinstall them. HOWEVER, the one that comes out easily and comes apart with no rivet is on the Power module side. It installs on one side with a small bolt, and on the other it is held on by a clip, WHICH IS MISSING ON MY CAR. I am going to assume it is the same clip that is used on the Control Module side. Anybody got one? Happy…
