Check out Menards they have the big AC deacons batteries with top posts , check your dimensions of your old battery and the placement of the + & -  posts  and figure out if your hold down will work . Good luck 

DELCO

You have a few choices. You can go all out and purchase a original style replica per this article from the Help topics tab in the header above: https://6364cadillac.ning.com/profiles/blogs/original-battery-and-c...

Personally I bought a group 24 Duracell  battery from Batteries Plus Bulbs and have been happy with it, It is close to the size of the original battery, just slightly narrower - group 24:(10.25 x 6.8125 x 8.875) vs group 60: (13 1/16 x 6 5/16 x 8 7/8). It still fits nicely in the original battery tray. I did put some plastic strips along the right & left sides of the tray to take up the extra space. I also peeled off all the labels and dressed it up with some 3-D printed battery caps and a Delco label.

John, I just noticed you said your car is a 64. The battery hold-down was changed in 64 to go across the 13 1/6" length of the battery unlike my 63 where it goes front to back across 6 5/16" (6.8125"on group 24). As far a I can find now the group 60 replica is no longer produced. Unless you can find a similar sized battery, you will have to use a different hold-down. I'm sure some 64 guys will chime in with their solutions

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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

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…
