64’ A/C Power Servo - Vacuum Actuator

Gents, good morning!I’m looking for advice on how to fix the A/C Power Servo on my 1964 Cadillac Deville. The unit itself seems to be working correctly, but the vacuum actuator is leaking off. Has anyone had luck finding/replacing just the vacuum actuator or is there a way to repair the original one that’s leaking? I’m referring to the large black & silver vacuum actuator, not the 7 port valve.I would be interested in purchasing a good used unit too if the price is fair.Thx - JacobSee More

Rocker arm assembly removal?

Hi Guys,I'm working to replace all the rocker arms on my 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville. Driver’s side is no problem, but the passenger side is proving to be more challenging. The issue is removing the back rocker arm assembly bolt, it’s hitting the blower motor housing and there’s not enough clearance to get it removed. There’s not much mention in the service manual other than to ensure that the rocker assembly and bolt are installed when the engine head is installed. I am not planning to remove…See More

Brake booster for sale?

Hey Guys, I’m searching for a reasonably priced replacement brake booster for my 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville. I believe it’s a Delco. I found a few rebuilt options on eBay, but the cost is prohibitive. Been continuing to search. Do you fine gents have any supplier’s that you could recommend?

1964 TH400 Torque Converter?

Hey guys! I’m back with another question lol. I noticed some vibration under acceleration while not moving that I suspect may be coming from the torque converter, so I’m looking to replace it while I have my engine out. Seems like a good idea, but I’m having trouble locating a new or rebuilt converter. I found this one below (link) at AutoZone that says it fits my 1964 Cadillac Deville (429 engine w/TH400 trans) however while reading the description it states for flat top bell housing, but my…See More

Finally got around to cleaning and re-lubricating the seat transmission. Now, it works flawlessly

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
