64’ A/C Power Servo - Vacuum Actuator

Gents, good morning!I’m looking for advice on how to fix the A/C Power Servo on my 1964 Cadillac Deville. The unit itself seems to be working correctly, but the vacuum actuator is leaking off. Has anyone had luck finding/replacing just the vacuum actuator or is there a way to repair the original one that’s leaking? I’m referring to the large black & silver vacuum actuator, not the 7 port valve.I would be interested in purchasing a good used unit too if the price is fair.Thx - JacobSee More

Rocker arm assembly removal?

Hi Guys,I'm working to replace all the rocker arms on my 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville. Driver’s side is no problem, but the passenger side is proving to be more challenging. The issue is removing the back rocker arm assembly bolt, it’s hitting the blower motor housing and there’s not enough clearance to get it removed. There’s not much mention in the service manual other than to ensure that the rocker assembly and bolt are installed when the engine head is installed. I am not planning to remove…See More

Brake booster for sale?

Hey Guys, I’m searching for a reasonably priced replacement brake booster for my 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville. I believe it’s a Delco. I found a few rebuilt options on eBay, but the cost is prohibitive. Been continuing to search. Do you fine gents have any supplier’s that you could recommend?

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
