Trip Meter

My trip spin knob or where it is connected is stripped. I can reset it but it takes work. Any suggestions on repair or replace? I can't find it in the shop manual. 64 DeVille Convertible.

It is a simple cable that mounts to the dash lip at bottom and threads into the back of the speedometer unit.
The rubber reset knob is often cracked or missing making it hard to turn the cable. You can get the rubber slip on reset knob from places like Caddy Daddy. If you think your cable is bad I have plenty for $20 ($15 for Chapter Members) + $10 s/h to US destinations.

Thanks Jason. I replaced the reset knob and its still spinning. So it must be the cable. I'll paypal you the $25.00. The wiper arms look great I thought I could get the wipers local but nobody carries them. I see OPG has them.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

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,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like

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?
