My 64 history
I have the great pleasure of having my beautiful -all Becon Blue - 64 Cadillac convertible (white top ) with AC - for 48 years ( as of 2012 )-- in my family since day ONE
The mental picture of that car in my driveway with the top down is forever etched in my minds eye-
Have been a GM big block fan since my 1963 Chevy 409-425 HP--4 speed Super Sport racing days ( held a track record at Islip Speedway- New York for 4 years )
Went to a 1962 Cadillac --Black--Black top --Natural leather interior --with optional then --AC 390 Cubic inch --time to slow it down some
I was in my early 20's a sophmore in college --you could see people thinking --Who is that kid ?
I enjoyed that car so much I became a Cadillac convertible fan for life
My 64 was my dads at this time
He loved my 62 so much he started to collect 62 thru 64 caddys
We had 5 converts and 4 coupes at one time all registered and ready to run
The new caddys in my family were a new 52 hard top--new 55 convert--new 64 convert
They were used mostly for special occasions or for mom around town
You just knew you were special when you drove in those cars--they were a sign of financial success in those times
Dad mosly had foreign cars as daily drivers -- 1955--57 XK 120 Jaguars (5 of them ) -- 2002 BMW Tii- 65 Porsche 356 convert --one of the first year VW's in 1956 ,only 50 in the USA
1958 BMW R-50 black motorcycle
Cessna 182 4 passenger Airplane
I retired to Central West Florida with my 64 convert
I road a 1966 Triump -- Blue printed 750 -flat track racing bike for 28 years
One of my lifetime racing buddys owned NASSAU county Long Isand N Y 's Harley davidson--we liked high performance toys
Building and flying RC aircraft for 23 years
The weather here is auesome 10 months of the year -- rains a bit the other two of the summer - no big deal but a country paradise most of the time
LIFE IS GOOD----

Windshield scratch remover
Posted on December 29, 2017 at 1:40am 2 Comments 0 Likes
Anyone have any experience removing light scratches from our Cadillac windshields
I thought I might need to replace my windshield but when inspected by my windshield guy he seems to feel I could get away with polishing out the scratches as they are mostly light ones
i have no dings or deep scratches
I would like to keep the original glass —so this idea is appealing to me
enjoy

The Mileage reading on your speedometer
Posted on November 4, 2017 at 10:57pm 20 Comments 0 Likes
I hope i am not breaking anyones bubble but if you choose to remove the speedometer you can change the mileage on these cars to anything you desire it to be by just adjusting some of its internal parts and changing the numbers
That can lead to a lot of misconduct and cause you to by a car that is not correctly represented by its mileage
Just a heads up to study other aspects of the car to see if the mileage feels right for the wear and tear you may be looking at on a given… Continue

Power steering fluid change
Posted on October 23, 2017 at 3:32pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
In writing my thoughts on the last thread i just realized that changing the power steering fluid is not something done very often like we do all with other fluids on a timely basis
Actually i do not remember anything that adresses the changing of this fluid on a regular basis
I did draw my fluid out with an oil sucktion tool and replaced it then did that a few more times after using the car so some of mine has been freshened up in that way
Hey it could save you from having to… Continue

Fernando Vermeer said… Good Day my friends. I' the only 64 429 Caddy on the island. I know of various other caddys 59 60 62 77. I bought mine last year and did all the basic work just to get it started. i pulled the engine out and sandblasted and rebuild the carb changed the timing gear and cam gear. i send the Valve covers to chrome in colombia. I started it after a year and had no pressure on 2 pistons. I pulled it out again and ordered the shop repair manual and going to buy the deluxe rebuild kit. So thats basicly what going on. Here in Aruba evrything is expensive to buy or get because of the import taxes and transportation fees. Sometimes its just expensive to be me. I dont know to much about mechanics and have a uncle Roy that helps me out ( generation gap). So after a year im starting to get to know my Caddy.WhatsApp%20Image%202018-04-10%20at%2011.57.37%20AM%288%29.jpeg

Kim K Kaiser said… Hi Tony,
in town driving seems to be just fine.. I havent taken out for a longer, higher speed drive in several days, but plan to take on a 30 mile each way trip tomorrow. I will have a better idea after that, downtown though, runs just fine.
I was hanging at the local river bar yesterday and she was parked out front,, lots of the 50+ yuppie biker crowd, mostly friends mine, all had to go give it a walk around.. lots of nods of approval..
thanks for the check up,
have a Happy Easter.
Sincerely
Kim

Hello, I have a 1963 coupe DeVille with a 390 and I’m dropping in a 429 from a 1967 DeVille. I will cut and weld the oil pan to change locations of the sump, and probably extend the tube on the oil pick up. do you know if there is an oil pan and oil pick up tube I can use to eliminate my fabrication work?

So right about a shop manual , in my case at being dumb I never pull the value cover which got me to 4200 rebuild .

I like to thank you and the rest for help . And yes all is going back in just like the day it was born [ torque converter to trans, and a fully rebuild 429 stock ] have a good day and thanks.

From what I understand it means the tire is balanced by mounting the tire onto the balancer using the bolt holes and not the center hole as the center hole can be slightly off center. I have Diamond Back radials on my 64 4 window and they told me this when I purchased my tires.

- Hi Denny
I have built many fine RC airplane kits and scratch built from plans ,in the past 20 years
I have a very fine collection of the best glo engine airplanes in the 40 and 60 size airframes , a few quarter scale
All fly on rails , after the bugs are worked out , which is the expression used to describe stability , of an exceptional flying model
You had to build ,when I started 20 years ago , or you did not fly , no ARF'S then
I flew control line for 4 years prior to RC and got good at local combat events
I have not done much building or flying in the last year , working on the house and gardens
How do you know about my Passion for RC flight ?

Brakes Went Out
Posted by Christopher Codd on August 8, 2018 at 8:25am 18 Comments 0 Likes
My '64 Cadillac DeVille had been sitting for awhile while I was travelling this summer and when I came home it had some issues starting. After replacing the plugs and the ignition coil, it was running better than it had in a long time but the brakes were sticking. I noticed the brake pedal was traveling a little farther than usual when slowing down. Soon after I noticed a hissing noise coming from around the brake pedal. Then I lost the brakes pretty much completely. I couldn't find any…

Comfortron AC trouble shooting
Posted by Norman Silverman on July 23, 2018 at 8:54pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
OK, here we go.....
I got the book to troubleshoot the system. INDISPENSABLE to this effort.
As I do a cursory exam, I see that the AC RECIRC SOLENOID is Cracked (the WHITE one in the engine compartment coming out of the HVAC body with two vacuum hoses on it). I tried to patch it up (cracked all around the base), but it does not look like it will hold.
PLEASE TELL ME THAT REPLACING THIS PART IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS I THINK IT IS, But I think it is a bear to…

A/C Issue / Stumped !
Posted by Dana G Cooper on July 23, 2018 at 6:29pm 33 Comments 0 Likes
My 63 CDV factory A/C was trash so I replaced every part in the system and converted to R134 . I also installed a STV bypass kit which eliminated the STV all together and converted the system to a cycling system. I vacumed and charged the system with 36oz of 134. The system is cycling as it should and the pressures are right at 250 high side, cycle off at 25lbs and cycle back on at about 35lbs. It is making plenty of water on the low side hoses and evaporator drain. There is very good air…
