When to start the 64 convert —-only to be hearing a clonking sound and the engine did not turn over
My gut feeling was that it was the starter solenoid —by the sound —so got myself prepared to possible be replacing the solenoid or rebuilding the starter motor
To my very good fortune the car was in the garage and I was not stranded someplace
In the process of removing the solenoid wires I saw that one of the terminals was not as tight as it SB to the solenoid casing
Both nuts in front and behind the wire terminal on the lower solenoid terminal were not as tight as I suspected they should be
Put the wiring back together —-with the thought if I got lucky —-I might have found the problem
Hit the starter —and she fired right up ! ( always good to hear that Barrrrrroooooomm !! ! )
I should go play Lotto or something today
Saved me a lot of time and a few dollar - and made my day —all at the Same Time !
Some days are surely better than others —and I am smiling a lot today
The weather in North Central FL is 75 -80 sunny and dry so very glad the problems was solve quickly and I am back —-to Enjoying my Pride and Joy
The weather hear is outstanding from now until April (do come on down ! ) with the exception of a few colder days and nights here and there that will get down to freezing for a few hours in the mornings but then the day will be 60 degrees
The reason I chose to retire in this very wonderful piece of paradise and sporting around in my Classic Antique Cadillac —-with the top down in the best possible weather
I am still ———-SMILING a LOT !
Enjoy

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you

Hey guys, I need some help. Could someone send me some pictures on how the first hood release lever on a factory 1964 Cadillac is set up, where it comes though the grille. Not the secondary one. I need to know where the thumb or finger position is located through the grille. Is it above or below the center grille molding piece? Mine seems to be positioned behind the center molding piece and will not adjust above or below the molding. I have a wire tied to it to release it…
