Hi
Who makes the best quality transmission mounts for my 64 Sedan DeVille (with a Turbo hydramatic)? Rock auto does not list them.
Thanks!

I know Steele Rubber will revulcanize for $135. Kinda steep so you might check around. Here is the link:

Caddy Daddy has a repro for $79, and rebuilt for $145, plus $100 core. I purchased the repro and it looked pretty good, everything lines up. It is presently on the transmission, but the driveline is still out of the car, so I have not used it under power yet.
Here's a link to the repro --> https://www.caddydaddy.com/shop-parts.html?cat=580&prod_year=498
Thanks. I don't think my current one is bad, but it is still original and there's no reason not to freshen it up. Question: Do you have to take the driveshaft out to replace?
Thanks
Norm
No, You shouldn't have to. Loosen all four bolts first, then remove them. Get a small piece of plywood or something that fits against the transmission oil pan, then jack it up a little with the wood and a floor jack. You should be able to slide the old mount right out. I don't think you would even need to disturb the crossmember itself.
In my case, the trans had a massive leak in that location, and the oil destroyed the rubber part of the mount. If that seal is bad, the driveshaft DOES have to come out for that.
Thanks!
One more dumb question. Does it "relieve" the weight on the tranny to loosen the driveshaft center support bolts thereby allowing a bit of upward movement of the drive shaft when the tranny is lifted? Or am I overestimating the amount of travel required of the transmission in order to permit the removal of the mount?
Thanks
That would probably be a good idea. It would provide some slack for movement.
Thanks!

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,

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…
