Hello all. New member and new to classic cadillacs so I have some questions. Last year I got my hands on a resto-mod 63 coupe deville project and have been making good progress till now. I don't have any of the original throttle linkage/pedal assembly including the TV rod. Would not having the TV rod hooked up yet cause the transmission not to upshift?

Hi James,
Albeit I am not an expert on transmissions, that TV rod should be hooked up to the linkage, especially when higher throttle is used. Maybe Jason Edge would have the TV rod off of one of the parts cars? Pretty sure it is a must with the Hydra-matic transmission.

Most of my experience is with small block chevys so I'm a bit out of my wheelhouse on this one but I'm enjoying learning new stuff. I have never been very good with transmissions in the first place so this hydra matic is completely unknown territory to me
I am not a Hydra-Matic expert but do know you need the TV Rod. I have them like new gold cadmium plated for $65 ($48.75 for Chapter Members) with the correct connectors at both ends to connect to transmission at bottom and carb throttle plate at top. You can see them by Clicking Here.
If interested in one of mine, or other parts, email me at jasonedge64@outlook.com
My problem is I have none of the original throttle assembly so I will have to fabricate something which won't be an issue. Is there anything vacuum controlled on the transmission?
There is no vacuum to the 1963/64 Hydramatic. The Turbo Hydramatic introduced in 1964 on certain body styles had a vacuum modulator but not the HydraMatic.
James,
There should be a vacuum modulator on the side of the transmission.

Not on the HydraMatic.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
