"David,
Glad you found it. I has a similar problem but it was visible at the clamp style battery terminal.
These cars are fairly basic and Cadillac made its reputation on reliability and high quality. Fundamentals are usually at fault in problems…"

You might also be able to test this by using a jumper cable from the neg battery cable to a good ground to see if you…"
"I watched that last night. Man, did he ever cram a lot of stuff in that thing! Glad to see he is still driving it regularly. What a great car. "
"This popped up on YouTube yesterday. Looks like he's still got the 64 and uses it regularly.

What a score especially if he didn’t pay much for it "

The 64 4 window sedan really turned out as good as it gets for a car that has been sitting idle for such a long period of time

- Jeff, I noticed that you had a connection to get a kit to replace the broken choke tubes. I also need the twisted piece. The application is a 1963 Cadillac Deville with the 390 Rochester 4GC. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to get this done while I have the intake manifold off :D I bought my caddy a year ago with a rebuilt engine and shortly after it had a major oil leak. Just took the valley pan off and discovered someone folded the gasket over on one side. At least I know where all of the oil came from now!

Spark Plug Heat Range

I found a diagram that illustrates the main factor in determining a spark plug heat range that I was trying to describe to you during the chapter get together.
Here it is:
The main factor is the length of the ceramic insulator from the middle of the spark plug to the tip (where the spark happens)
The insulator…

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…
