My windows are slow up and down but all worked until the driver's window got stuck down. The lights dim when you hit the switch, indicating electronics should be OK, so I bought a new motor(maybe…Continue

I converted my '64 to front disc brakes. I have the drums and shoes and parts that the car came with. Anyone can have them if you want them, just pay shipping, which won't be cheap since they are…Continue
Driver's power window won't lift--buy a new motor?

The window's been fine as long as I've owned the car so I don't think it has an issue with the track. When you push the button to lift it, the lights dim, indicating to me that the wiring is OK…Continue

Free 1964 parts before I throw them out
I have front brake drums and discs, a window, a window frame, and an air cleaner shroud. I don't need them and anyone can have them for shipping cost. I would guess the shipping would be $20-25 for each piece except the heavy brake drums. My 64 convertible arrived with a lot of extra parts 3 years ago and I'm starting to get rid of them. I also have a couple of old carburetors since I switch mine to a new Edelbrock. More photos available as there are only 3 photo slots here. See More

Doing disc brake conversion and I need to change out the rims--what to get?
Posted on December 7, 2017 at 3:55pm 22 Comments 0 Likes
I'm having a mechanic change to '64 Deville convertible to disc brakes. He used the spacers that came with the kit but one side takes 2 spacers and the other 3, and there is a slight disconnect from the center hub from being so far out. It appears the best solution would not be further tinkering with spacers but a deeper 15" rim made for disc brakes. Does anyone know what rims might work that will allow the existing Cadillac hub caps to fit?
I have read everything I can find on disc…

That's something I want to do. I checked with Summit but they were not sure if their kit would work with the wire wheels. I'm going to do more research and see what I can find.

I really like it. Where did you get the front disc brake conversion from and what wheels are you running?
