Weather stripping vendors
I am getting ready to order roof rail weather stripping and rear door window leading edge seals for my '63 Series 62 6 window sedan model 6229.
I've been on the websites for Rubber The Right Way, Steele Rubber Products and Metro Molded Parts. The first two listed companies have identical products, with prices on each item exactly the same as their competitor, right down to the penny. Metro's products are less in cost, but their catalog is a little confusing. They offer two different roof rail seals for this car at two different prices. The lower priced one is referred to as "super soft EPDM sponge rubber compound" and the more expensive one is listed as "black closed cell skin covered sponge." I'm curious if some of you experts know which of the two most closely duplicates the OEM product in appearance. Any general comments on your experience with any of these companies (or others) would be appreciated as well. Thank-you.

I removed the front cover to change out the timing chain & gears all that went pretty well when I put the cover back on I put in a fresh oil filter ,filled it up figured it would be enough to prime the oil pump when I started the car .Fired up the car and heard lifters rattling, So I shut the car down right away. So I removed the oil filter housing, and poured oil down the neck of the oil pump housing filled it up and filled up the filter put it all together and fired it up and same…

Caddy members, I’m upgrading my 64 2-door coupe deville.
motor guy lost my block (machine shop went under) so I’m replacing motor & tranny with LS conversion. I have motor parts (other than block) for 429, rebuilt transmission, converter, and too many other motor parts not needed with fully dressed LS going in.
Email me (Tom.reichenberger@ipsper.com) or call me (210-739-4854) if you’re interested…..I live in San Antonio, TX.
thanks, TX…

While working on my trunk lock on 64 Cadillac, I mistakenly closed the locking mechanism while the trunk was open. Is there an easy way to manually release the lock back to the open position?
Thanks.
Fuel Pump Failure
Posted by Jon Shields on August 6, 2022 at 6:48am 4 Comments 0 Likes
Hello,
I'm located in Melbourne, Australia and my 64 sedan de ville is stuck in the garage due to failed mechanical fuel pump. The first after market mechanical fuel pump lasted a few years before it failed & left me stranded 5 hours from home. A hire car and tow got us home. On inspection, I noticed a valve not seated within the housing. I was optimistic, pressed it into place and assumed the pump was good to go. But alas, no. From what I can now determine, the diaphragm pushrod…
