Website Header - Experimenting with Rotating Member Cars
I was thinking or rotating member 63's and 64's up in the header and used Mark Geertsma's 1963 Sedan de Ville as a test car. It gets a little grainy making the picture that small, but not too bad. For those of you on the cell phone select desktop view from the drop down menu and check it out. For those you use on desktops & laptops just look up. I will maybe swap in a member 64 on the right, and maybe try and update once a week?Looking at the header I am trying to remember why that black…See More
"Hi Jason,
That really sounds like an excellent idea!

"Your picture gave me an idea. We have our sort of bland header with the 63 and 64 front clip, how about rotate member 63's on left and member 64's on the right? I can pull from our Member Cadillacs or just grab the from posts by…"
"Thanks! Like the color on your 64. You don’t see that very often."
"Hi Mike,
Any luck with the coolant overflow tank we talked about for your Caddy?

"Hi Allen,
Thank you for the response. Let me know if you get it done and how you make out with the re-install. Always good speaking to you and good luck with the pinion seal! We have a great chapter because of…"
"Dennis,
Sorry to be so slow in responding. Out of town for a week. The man who will repair the seal has had some big projects so still waiting. He and I very much appreciated your thoughts on the matter. I hope to be quietly…"
"It is pretty much a given the leak will persist if bearing mod is not made especially considering it was such an issue that a Serviceman Bulletin was issued in 1965 for the fix. I would also say everyone without the knowledge of this fix (i.e.…"
"Not sure if the bearing mod had been previously done, I hadn't seen that service bulletin at that point. I do remember that the bearings are .020 over so at the some point the motor was apart. The brand new Best seal instantly leaked more…"
"Did you do the bearing cap mod per the serviceman bulletin. There is debate regarding the different the seals makes (at least in my mind), however if you did the bearing cap mode and used the Best brand seal that would further point to one seal…"
More Rear Main Seal Questions
The rear main seal on my 1964 Deville was replace about a year ago with the Best Branded one from Caddy Daddy. Leaks were immediate and my mechanic was concerned about the gasket from the start. Knowing what I know now, does anyone know where to source a Rebuilder's Choice seal or possibly even a factory style rope seal? The transmission will be coming out anyways. Also, I will check the rear main bearing cap for the needed modification. ThanksSee More
"Jason,
That engine sounds pretty good. I don't hear any missing. Good find for sure. Take care of the left hand!

1964 429 Engine & HydraMatic Transmission Retrieved
I was out of town in Virginia Beach with my brother picking up a 1964 429 engine and HydraMatic transmission March 20-21 from a 1964 owner doing an LS Swap. This engine was running, and from the video pretty smooth at that. While I have brought in 60 Parts Cars over the last 29 years I do occasionally bring in engines or engine and transmissions if not too far away. I have not documented these engine pickups as well as the parts cars, but would guess I have bought in 4 or 5 engines separately…See More

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
