Hey gang --- I'm stripping the A/C system out of my 64 Coupe deVille for rehab. I also need to repair a rust hole in the pass fender lower area. Since I am doing all of this work, I am considering pulling the driveline and getting it rebuilt. The car runs "okay", but it leaks oil *everywhere*. It has just shy of 90K on it. Untouched. Cork still in the front of the crank. It might not be a bad thing to go through it before anything really bad can happen. Car is all original and unrestored.Anyone…See More

Russ Austin replied to William R Conte's discussion Wiper switch refurbish"Just to add, the wiper switch and the wiper motor need to have a very good ground to work. Check the ground to the wiper motor. It is behind one of the mount bolts.
The wiper switch grounds at the mount pins."
Kevin Campbell replied to William R Conte's discussion Wiper switch refurbish"The one on ours is very good, slides easy and you can tell where each speed selection is without looking, but as they say, it never rains in Southern California too.
I doubt our wipers saw too much action prior to the overseas trip."
Clovis replied to William R Conte's discussion Wiper switch refurbish"Just to add, my wiper switch feels sloppy with little definition of where it's at while sliding it back and forth. My car overall is in excellent shape and I always just thought that is how it came from the factory. "
Russ Austin replied to William R Conte's discussion Wiper switch refurbish"Never tried to refurb a wiper switch either."
Jason Edge replied to William R Conte's discussion Wiper switch refurbish"I have never tried to refurbish the wiper dash switch mainly since I have always had a big stash of them since starting to bring parts cars in in 1997.

Last time I tried to use the wipers they wouldn't turn on. Finally, they did. Then I couldn't turn them back off. I had to unplug the wiper motor. The switch action does not feel as tight and definite as it should. I have it out of the car, and want to rehab it. Has anyone here done it? If so, where did you get replacements for the little rivets that hold it together?See More

64 Recirc/Fresh Air Door Actuator replaced; FROM THE INSIDE.
Posted by Norman Silverman on February 4, 2019 at 11:21pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
I am happy to report that I have successfully replaced the Fresh Air/Recirc door actuator that is located on the blower box-and have done so without having to remove the blower box. I did it by taking out the glove box and attacking it from the back. It took several days, LOTS of patience and some band-aids, but it is done. THE most difficult part -BY FAR- is to remove and then replace the screw that sits on the actuator arm, connecting it to the fresh…

Where do the flashers go in my 64 Deville Convert. I'm thinking that's why both turn signals stopped working.
Source for Motor mounts and Trans mounts 1964 SDV
Posted by Norman Silverman on January 9, 2019 at 4:23pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Hi.
Where is the best place to purchase good quality motor mounts/trans mounts for my 1964 SDV? I see that Rock Auto has them for $8 and change, and others for $24 and change. Big difference. Is there a better place to buy them from?
Thanks
Norm
