What is the best gas additive to use? 
It’s time to get my first gas fill up and I was wondering what the best additives are (my dad is a collector in Germany and therefore I can‘t really ask him - he just told me I need an additive. lol)

Yes, those already sound expensive and I wouldn’t think that I would find one easily doing road trips.
My dad is using additives for his car to make up for today’s gas being unleaded compared to being leaded in the past.
Thank you!
Hi Tony,
Thanks a lot for the explanation - I really appreciate it.
Guess I really need to find that mechanic and see if he can find out about the valve guides. I only know that the previous owner only used the racing gas to fill it up.

My dad has no Cadillac in his collection but he always wanted one and was indeed the one having suggested I buy this one. He is super excited to come visit as soon as it is possible again to take it for a spin. lol
He has a couple of old Jaguars, Mercedes‘, an old VW Beetle and an 1932 Packard. And all of those are his everyday cars. The most modern car my parents own is a 20yr old Smart which is scary to think might soon be old enough to be called a Classic and get a special license plate.

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

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…
