Is the heater hose "hot" on the heater core side of the water control valve? If it is, it is letting hot water to the heater core and will need to diagnose further. If not, you have issue at the water control valve. In heat mode you should have no vacuum at the water control valve diaphragm nipple leaving the valve open so hot water can flow through. In AC mode, Vacuum forces the diaphragm to close the valve. From there I would check the diagnostics in the shop manual and Tim Groves Comfort Control Diagnostics manual.
Jason, thanks again for your comment and help. the question i had on the bracket/ holding device on the top driver side of core support looks like it held some sort of data plate. my cowl tag is there intact. i will put this question out to any members who might have this on their car, looks like it holds a tag or plate the size of a credit card. or does any one remember GM protecto-plates?
Shoot me an email to jasonedge@nc.rr.com. I've been restoring mine for 18 years and tell people I have restored about 2/3's of it but want to go back and redo the first 1/3! LOL It is definitely an ongoing process. I will be glad to help you as I have but you have over 1200 members here on the site and many are eager to help and encourage you to post your restoration questions, and updates on our Restoration & Authenticity Forum here on the site at http://6364cadillac.ning.com/forum/categories/restoration-authenticity/listForCategory. As they say 2 heads are better than one... and 1200 heads are definitely better than one! The same goes for everyone with restoration, or other technical question... please feel free to post here on the site so that EVERYONE can help and learn at the same time!
That information would be in the 1964 Cadillac Specification Manual. You can sometimes find them on ebay, and a great source of tons of information on these cars, especially if you want to know what the cars were originally equipped with. My email address is (and has been 10+ years now) jasonedge@nc.rr.com Shoot me an email anytime. Jason.
Hi, Jason,
I admired your Escalade EXT in the last club magazine, do they make that vehicle in 3/4 ton? I'm using a 2001 GMC 2500 currently to pull my 39 Buick in a 24' enclosed trailer, wonder if the EXT could pull that?
I have a '64 Fleetwood Sixty Special, can't decide whether to do a frame off or frame on restoration. It's not in bad shape, but started some work on it when it had a little damage to RR quarter, then was not sure where to stop. I know the cost difference is substantial. The resto shop I talked to told me it depends on how much you love the car. Not sure how to answer that. My grandma had a'64 Sedan deVille, that is probably what attracted me to the Fleetwood.
Thanks for a great forum.
Hi Charles! Thanks for the head ups about Lisa A. They have been deleted and marked as a spammer. We had one other get thru a while back and I increased the # of questions for joining. We do encourage the ladies to join but for the right reasons, their passion for all things 1963 & 1964 Cadillac! Anyway, it is good to have you posting here and helping keeping the site on track. If anyone else gets this type of spamming from our site let me know. You all would be surprised at how many spamming requests I have. Most don't take the time to answer the sign up questions, much less provide reasonable answers.
Donnie, feel free to post a message about your car on the Message Board. I would start a new message as "FOR SALE - PARTS CAR - ......." and give details. If the entire car was for sale and you were closer to me I would be interested if the price is right.
My Cadillac only has 68,000 miles on it and has a beautiful white leather interior. I found it in LosAngelos and my brother drove it to his house in SanDiego. He keeps sending pictures of him driving it and it is driving me crazy! He sais the tranny is shifting funky so I hoping a fluid change and a little tweaking of the TV rod corrects the issues.

For parts for sale I have easily over 100,000 parts from 40 parts cars. For common items I will usually have plenty, for hard to find item I have a back log and keep a running "Needs List" (over 500 entries long at this point) and will be glad to add items I don't have. Using a list provide first come first service to those asking first. Several items off the current 64B parts car have went out to members on the list dating back to 2009 and 2010. Send me an email to jasonedge@nc.rr.com and list the specific body year, body style and description to ID parts.
Thanks Jason. Looking forward to getting back to work on my car.
What a wealth of information available here. Making progress sorting out all the web and facebook sites..May need help from grand kids!

Thanks for the update Chris. I will bump down to next person on the list and will check our your dash. The latest parts car is an eclectic mix. Of course first dibs goes to a a Gold Coupe DeVille located in Garner, NC! :-)
Hi Jason, I finally found one a few months back. Those things are damn difficult to find. Took about 6 years to find a replacement sensor grill. I went ahead and redyed the faded dash and installed the new sensor already. You can check it out in my pictures. The parts car that you brought in looks great. I'm sure there are some parts on that car that are in better shape than the ones on my car so I may be sending you another message soon.
I know Kanter (www.kanter.com) and other big national parts suppliers such as USA Parts (www.usapartssupply.com) listed in our Parts Suppliers page will have them. I sell parts on the side and can pick up the AutoZone one listed above and sell for $20 + s/h to make a bit for my time and effort. Email me at jasonedge@nc.rr.com if you wanted to go that route.

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored.

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…

Most auto parts stores here stock them but not sure which ones will ship to the UK. AutoZone around the corner from me sells them for $10.49.
