64’ A/C Power Servo - Vacuum Actuator
I’m looking for advice on how to fix the A/C Power Servo on my 1964 Cadillac Deville. The unit itself seems to be working correctly, but the vacuum actuator is leaking off. Has anyone had luck finding/replacing just the vacuum actuator or is there a way to repair the original one that’s leaking? I’m referring to the large black & silver vacuum actuator, not the 7 port valve.
I would be interested in purchasing a good used unit too if the price is fair.
Thx - Jacob

Hi Jacob - Cadillac Tim replaced the vacuum actuator on my '70 Cad's AC servo a while back. Works great. You can find him at http://www.cadillactim.com. He also publishes a great series of books, one for each year, that describe in detail how to trouble shoot the '64 thru '80 Comfort Control systems.
No connection, just a satisfied customer.
Happy Motoring!

Hi Jacob,
I agree with Bernie - Cadillac Tim replaced the actuator on my Servo as well. It is a little smaller in size but works great. I don't think I'd recommend a NOS one (on eBay for example), due to the age of the rubber. I also purchased his '64 Comfort Control book. He is highly recommended!
Another satisfied customer,
Linda

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,

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?
