"Thank you, Jason."
"Hi Jason,
I have to go to the garage and check on these rods. From memory, I don't believe I have them on my 64. I bet mine are also gone. I do have brace rods in front by the radiator support, but I…"
1964 Cadillac Owners - Are You Missing the Inner Fender to Frame Rear Brace Rods?
Last night I was installing the freshly cad plated inner fender to frame rear support brace rods and remembered how this has been often missing on the many parts cars I have brought in. The thing is they came with all 1964's (per Master Parts Book, and my 1st hand observation), but they were often removed to never be reinstalled over the years! My other observation is that Cadillac really upped their support and bracing game in 1964! While the 1963's had the smaller 5/16" brace rods in front…See More
"Might also bring this up in our Zoom meeting this evening."

"Thank you, Dennis. I grew up in Brooklyn (Coney Island), where was your dad's place?

"Hi Norm,
For years my dad always installed the Gabriel Shock Absorbers at his mechanic shop in Brooklyn, NY. They are very high quality and durable. I think they give an excellent ride.

Which are best Shocks for 64 that are closest to Original in Ride Quality?
Hello AllI am thinking about replacing the shocks on my 64 SDV. I want to do so with units that are closest to what was originally in the car in so far as ride quality. I believe these were gas shocks from new, and especially don't want anything stiffer. What do most of you use?My apologies if this information is/was previously mentioned on the site, but I am unaware of any way to search this site for content. If there is a way, I sure would be grateful to be informed of how to use…See More
Finally got around to cleaning and re-lubricating the seat transmission. Now, it works flawlessly
When I first got my 64 SDV about 8 years ago, the power seat made noise but didn't go anywhere. I promptly read up on it and proceeded to take the seat transmission out to clean and re-lubricate it. I used vaseline and maybe too much of it because for the last year or so the seat was temperamental again. Especially in cold weather. It is worth mentioning that you can try using a hair dryer on the seat transmission if yours does not work, but the motor makes noise. If it works in that…See More
"I misstated one thing in the post above - only cars with the optional Soft Ray tint had the tint bar at the top. This is noted in both the spec manuals and dealer data book.
As far as the color of the tint bar, from my sample of about 65 1963/64…"
"Wow, it's amazing how many p/n#s they had back then. But wait, it there was a tan tint bar AND blue/green tint bar, wouldn't they have to be different p/n#s too? Which color cars had tan & which had blue/green?"

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…
