Need Advice re Which Belts to purchase. My AC belt is screeching off and on and I see that the adjustment is maxed out-which leads me to believe that the belt is stretched. That being the case, I want to replace ALL belts on my 64 with Factory /AC and FACTORY 7 bladed fan with NO Fan Clutch. The belts that are on there now are: AC -Gates 7560xl; Alt -Gates 7525xl; Power Steering- Goodyear 15515. What have y'all had best results with? Thanks
Norm

The Gates 7560 would be correct for the fan and AC compressor belt. I keep a few of these new on hand ($10) if you have any problem finding a replacement. In fact I have a good stock of the fan and alternator w/AC belt (7525), fan and alternator wo/AC belt (7560), fan & power steering pump belt (15508) all $10 if any one has trouble finding any of these.

Both those belt company’s are great so just replace what you have
These cars will often make a belt squeak sound if the front wheels are full extended in a direction ( a U turn )
Check the size of the new belt to the older one to see if the old had stretched to confirm your thoughts
Fresh parts will always improve the car reliability and a good thing
Enjoy

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…
