Hey All, good evening! I’m looking to purchase new bushings for my rear trailing arms and rear upper control arm. I’ve read that the replacement bushings for the lower trailing arms are composed of very soft rubber that’s prone to wearing extremely fast.Do you know of anyone that’s selling upgraded versions using poly vs. rubber? I’m less concerned about the upper control arm bushings being poly, any replacements will do but I’m struggling to find those for sale anywhere online. Any feedback…See More

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

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,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
