Where to find a perfect 1963 Cadillac alternator
When I got my 1963, I was in High School (1977). The Cadillac was not valuable at the time. Over the years I purchased auto parts from the parts store and kept it running. Now the car is worth something and all those replacement parts are wearing out. I have started to source original parts and have them rebuilt (renewing the originality of the car). Jason sent me an alternator core with the right markings, and I had it rebuilt. Jason asked where and I realized, most people do not have the…See More
"No, but thank you for drawing my attention to that section. The car was just a car back in the day. It was not worth much. Over the years when things wore out or broke, I just replaced them. I have changed my mind over time, the…"
"Nope, I graduated HS in 1979 and this was my HS car. I have noticed your posts for years, I am in San Diego and the car is very good, but I think yours may be better. Mine is a driver"

"Hey Frank
Did you view the info in the Help header under cruise control that might be of some help about the subject ? Enjoy "
Cruise Control
I have a perfect circle cruise control. My speedometer is not working. It turns going into the "Perfect circle" but not out. When I fiddle with it, the speedo works for a short time. The cables (from tranny and to dash) seem to seat correctly. Any idea how to fix this?Also, does anybody know where to send these out for rebuild?Thanks See More
"The large vacuum tank on firewall on left side under left fender is used for cars equipped with vacuum power trunk or vacuum power door locks. The one hose feeds straight back into the cabin for trunk lock and/or door lock operation, while the other…"
"I guess this does directly to the intake manifold?"
"That is for the power door locks. "

Help a couple in their 80s with a Cadillac???
Posted on March 7, 2014 at 12:16am 1 Comment 0 Likes
There is a couple in their 80s about ready to celibrate their 50th wedding anaversery. Their son saw my 63 Cadillac in San Diego and he is trying to find a 1960-1964 Cadillac in Las Vegas in the spring for a ride. Why? It seems these couple had a 1962 Cadillac when they were married 50 years ago. The son wants to do something nice for them and find “the car” to take them to a nice dinner or show.
If you have a nice Cadillac in Vegas, I would like to connect you…

Transmission swap on a 1963
Posted on June 28, 2013 at 3:05am 2 Comments 0 Likes
My Jetaway in my 1963 convertible is giving me problems....again. It has 10K on a rebuild. The transmission has been a problem some years and I have a lot of money into it. I have not found a good transmission guy, so I am thinking.
Does anybody have specific parts and instructions for a 700R transplant?? I am thinking that I might just get rid of the Jetaway and the headaches from the thing.
Any Ideas???

Hi
After cleaning these switches several times, I need to give up on this switches. I understand there are some options (none of which I have used). I understand

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…

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…
