Power Seat Transmission
Posted on July 6, 2013 at 8:07pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
I have figured out why the power seat in my '63 convertible moves so slowly. The motor works fine by itself, but the gears in the power seat transmission are really sticky. When you turn the input shaft by hand it is hard to make it turn, they are so sticky. What do you clean the old stuff off with? The gears are nylon. I don't want to melt them with a solvent. After getting the sticky off, what type of lubricant…

"I need to replace the foam in the front seat cushion of my '63 convertible. Do pre-fabricated foam sets exist for this car? All I find are ones for the muscle cars and sports cars. Any recommendations for the type and thickness of foam to get, if I can't find pre-fabs?"
My other Cadillac is an Eldorado

After purchasing my '63 convertible and driving it occasionally for a year I decided that I would replace my leased 2001 DTS with a 1970 Eldorado, which has now been my daily driver for 9 years. I repainted it to look just like the Eldorado in the 1970 Cadillac brochure. It is Cinnamon with a dark brown vinyl roof. I think it is prettier than my '63.

I just replaced my tires from Diamondback (I had bad results in the past from Coker). It was the second time, due to the age of the tires. About 18 years ago Diamondback made custom whitewalls…Continue

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…

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?
