seat foam replacement

does anyone out there have any experience with seat foam replacement on  a 63/64 Cadillac.  I had my seats reupolstered  many years ago in original leather/fabric and they still look great, but the foam/padding underneath has degradated and compressed to the point the seats look misshapend and are not real supportive when sitting on them.  I have looked around for replacement foam and padding specific to my 64CDV but does not appear that anyone manufactures anything.  Does anyone have…See More

   Has anyone had good luck with a replacement gas tank?  I need to replace my gas tank in my 64 CDV and as I look around I see advertised replacement tanks that will work, but the fine print states that they are 4 gal less than the original tank.  Cadi's aren't known for their fuel economy.  Would like to find something with the same gallons.  Anyone have any experiences to share?  Thanks Kevin

I have a question.  My 64 CDV is down for a complete paint and interior redo.  When  I disassembled the interior I found 4 hard rubber blocks under the front seat attachment bolts.  Has anyone seen this before or did someone before me put these in to raise the height of the seat.  Secondly, I was wanting to install new headlamps that would give better lighting for nighttime driving.  Has anyone had experience installing the HID lighting in lieu of the standard sealbeams?  Any advice would be…

Running Rough

Posted on November 10, 2013 at 9:09am 1 Comment

I recently completed a complete engine rebuild on my 64 CDV.  I have a continuing problem (both before and after the rebuild).  When I am stuck in traffic and the car begins to run real hot, but not overheated,  the car runs very rough and will stall out unless you are able to make it out to open road in which it will sputter a bit, but begin to run perfectly once the operating temp drop down a bit.  I have replaced the carb at a different time from the rebuild and it made no difference, the…

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?
