Parked up at the kerb, with a car behind me, the passenger mirror is all I have to see what's coming."

Jason Edge replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion passenger side rear view mirror"The RH mirror was a dealer installed option that saw there way onto very small % of 1963 and 1964 Cadillacs, but I think they give the car a nice balance. It is referenced in the 1964 Cadillac Accessories Manual on page 5. This…"
Clovis replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion passenger side rear view mirror"It was an option for the passenger mirror. Not a lot of them got it. Opgi sells them new though. Try spinning you side mirror down and in not up and out. If you look at dealer pictures that's how its installed. Jason pointed that out to me and…"

I have the CDV 63. i have looked but dont see many pictures of a passenger side rear view mirror.. was that a standard item? personally, i find the driver side one hard to see out of due to the window pillar and if he vent wdw is open its almost useless...with all the vertical pieces.. bu, back tot he passenger side..i would assume it would go in same appx spot as the driver, if it came with one, correct....i think i have seen some of the older impalas et were it was located up about half…See More

Clovis replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Head lights"Just remove the cover. Those things are illegal because there are so dangerous. They are blocking almost all of your light output. Remove the stainless trim ring that hold the light in. The chrome cover will fall out and you will have headlights…"
Clovis replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion rubber that the window squeezes into when its up"Rubber the right way has a door and window kit. Get the kit it's cheaper. I had the same problem I had a kit installed and no more leaks and very little wind noise."
Robert Alan Shannon replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion rubber that the window squeezes into when its up"Yes Kim, it's called roof rail seal/weatherstrip. They also make the whole car look so much sharper!"
Kim K Kaiser replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Head lights"Clovis, thanks, attaching picture, its a mirror like finish. Do i need to get a new exterior clear lens, or just the little bulb on the inside to get rid of that mirror"
Clovis replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Head lights"Kim since Tony is on hiatus I will fill in. Hopefully I can live up to his standards LOL. Some new halogen lights will help if yours are very old. Even if they are old halogens they will dim over time. Check prices but I just bought some for my…"
Clovis replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Leak around fuel pump"Yes the balancer has to come off for the new seal to be installed and sleeve put on the balancer. The fuel pump is no treat to do either. If your going to pull it to change the gasket, and silicone the bolt as Russ has suggested, you might as well…"
Kim K Kaiser replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Leak around fuel pump"ok, thanks for the addl info...I ll have to get under and look around again,,,, "
Clovis replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Leak around fuel pump"Kim it could very well be the fuel pump. Just my experience with this situation is it was the balancer. I couldn't see any oil coming from it either so I assumed it was the fuel pump. I dont think I saw oil anywhere else for that matter just…"
Kim K Kaiser replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion Leak around fuel pump"i would say, the from neck to neck fill- ups 21 gallons,,, i get 332 miles which is about 15 mpg,,,so other than these nuisance leaks, it seems the car is running very well,"

Dana G Cooper said… Kim, I have a 63 Coupe Deville, all stock. I had the exact same problem and I know what you are going through. I have a 600 cca battery in my car. I firmly agree with the others about using the highest amp battery you can find. I have my timing set at 5 degrees. The fuel additive is what seemed to help the most . My engine was pre - igniting when hot and the stock starter just could not overcome it. As I mentioned the additive made the biggest difference. I cannot find the paperwork on my starter but if you google high torque starters you will find it. The cost was around $300.00.

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…
