if you get an inferred heat gun you can take the actual temp reading from the rad and not be guessing if the gauge on the dash is correct

snaps / molding for convertible top cover
Hey guys I'm in search of the molding that runs around the back lip of the car that the convertible top cover snaps on to when the top is down. The previous owner eliminated 3 snaps and replaced them with screws (really bad decision) and seems as though the holes are to big now. Also seems as though the factory incorporated the snap into the molding somehow as there is no screw head in the middle. The snap measures 2.88 mm or .113 inches. Any info is appreciated!Thx,Ken Stout…See More

Vacuum advance
Good afternoon to all my fellow Cadillac owners! I have a question about the vacuum advance on my car. The car is a 64 without a/c and a Rochester carburetor. I noticed that I have vacuum at the port when cold idling but not when hot and idling. Is this normal? The car seems to run fine, but I thought I should have constant vacuum.

Factory AC clutch fan needed
Hi folks,My clutch fan died so I desperately need a new one. Unfortunately it will take a week or more to order from the usual suppliers so I am hoping someone on here has a manufacturer name and part number that they could share so I can try to source it from the local auto parts store.It's for a factory AC car.Thanks in advance for any leads.ChrisSee More

1963 series 62 convertible transmission issue
Posted by Matthew VanDeWater on June 22, 2021 at 3:03pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Hello I've been restoring a 63 for way to many years. Down to almost done, but have issue with trans linkage, when column in park shift rod 2 inches short. everything original. been trying to find picture of manual rod hooked up from under car to see position of linkage. was wondering if anybody has access for pictures. I wanted to see if my manual linkage is bent wrong out of the trans if somebody dropped the trans or something. Doesn't make sense why it doesn't work. Thanks for any input…

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive
Posted by Cliff Johnston on June 14, 2021 at 8:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.
With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Hello!
Newbie to the group here - we have already found tons of invaluable information on the board, so thanks! We are restoring a 1963 Series 62 Convertible. We are wondering if anyone knows of a source to buy the propellor yoke flange (that bolts to the pinion flange) for the driveshaft? One of our ears partially broke off. Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…
