'63 Cadillac battery cables
Posted on November 18, 2013 at 2:51pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
Hello everyone,
Want to check my understanding of the battery cable hook up for my '63 Cadillac.
I have the negative cable connected to the negative post... then bolts to the frame just below the battery.
The positive cable connects to the pos post and then to the starter connection. Also the felt washers are to be soaked in oil before installation onto the bat posts per the shop manual... anyone do this anymore?

pertronix being considered
Posted on September 2, 2013 at 8:30pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
Hello everyone, I am considering the install of the basic pertronix unit, but wanted to ask if its required to remove the distributor from the engine to add the spacer above the gear at the bottom of the shaft? If yes why does this have to be done?

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
