Dino Diaries - July 5, 2025 - Cad Plated Trans Linkage Installed

My '64 Coupe de Ville Dino has been sitting up on the 12" wheel cribs forever waiting for me to slide back under it and tackle some cleaning, painting and replacing some of the hardware with cadmium plated goodies as I go along. Between the Grand National and many house projects I have been putting everything off, however I finally pulled the trigger, slide back under and started with replacing the transmission linkage assembly which bolts to the left frame rail. See picture below.

I have a trunk load of cad plated goodies and will start installing as it makes sense. I will report on other projects later but thought I would share some undercarriage bling.

If you have a 1964 Cadillac with the Turbo HydraMatic transmission (deVilles and Fleetwoods) I have several of these transmission linkage sets available for $80 which drops to $60 with Chapter discount. That is a lot of cad plated hardware for $60 and takes me considerable time to put the sets together.

Ok...here are the pics:

What % of 1963 and 1964 Cadillacs came with the optional "soft ray" tented glass? 1963 & 1964 were very close, so if you get one you will get the other. Need to get it within 3%. So, who will…Continue

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

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!

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…
