I can't spot the traditional evaporator box drain tube on my '64 Deville. I don't like how the water runs down the body line. Is there an integrated drain tube? If not, has anybody added…Continue

Time for transmission repair, any suggestions?
My '64 CDV is starting to have torque converter issues. I'm going to pull the trans and send it to a shop I trust. Even thought I don't have any trans issues (except for a leak at the modulator) I'm going to ask them to give the trans a freshening up. Any tips or upgrades you can suggest while they've got it? I'm going to have them keep it stock, no shift kits, etc. While it's out I'll be changing the rear main and oil pan gasket so tips on that are appreciated to!See More

Tosh,congrats on the Caddy. There is a lot of help out there. Ruby is now in Buckeye,AZ. We winter here and 5/W up in the NW. I should have been able to find more time by now, but the list on what to do next is still long. "She" just left Eugene late last year.

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…
