Unknown parts quiz
Hi!
I have been playing this game some months already and would like to invite you all to join the fun!
My 64 Deville was in the middle of restoration when I got it, so I got 429 engine in parts, with dozens of small boxes full of various parts, bolts, nuts etc. Some of the boxes had notes about the content but most not.
attached photos are from parts which probably belong somewhere under the hood. If you identify the part, please let me know. You can guess as well of course. Winner gets big thanks and lots of admiration from fellow Cadillac fans!!
Car has AC and cruise and seems to be in original condition.

first image is starter wire holddown, attaches to head bolt above starter.
second is alternator slide and obvious ground wire.
third is spark plug divider bracket, bolts to carburetor and there is a plastic separator that attaches to the top of it when installed.

In the second photo on the right is a ground strap — I think the one from the back of the valve covers to the fire wall - one on each side of the engine
The part on the right is an alternator bracket that the top bolt of the alternator rides on to adjust its belt

The third picture as Mark points out is the bracket —-that gets a plastic ignition wire loom —on top of it to keep the ignition wires separated and in place
Enjoy

Hello I've been restoring a 63 for way to many years. Down to almost done, but have issue with trans linkage, when column in park shift rod 2 inches short. everything original. been trying to find picture of manual rod hooked up from under car to see position of linkage. was wondering if anybody has access for pictures. I wanted to see if my manual linkage is bent wrong out of the trans if somebody dropped the trans or something. Doesn't make sense why it doesn't work. Thanks for any input…

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive
Posted by Cliff Johnston on June 14, 2021 at 8:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.
With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Hello!
Newbie to the group here - we have already found tons of invaluable information on the board, so thanks! We are restoring a 1963 Series 62 Convertible. We are wondering if anyone knows of a source to buy the propellor yoke flange (that bolts to the pinion flange) for the driveshaft? One of our ears partially broke off. Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…
