I found I had one of these when I went to install an aftermarket switch. It is a 3-prong door switch from 1963 convertible. It is missing the push-button but the spring inside still works fine,…Continue

Is there a trick to popping the rear seat cushion in 1963 convertible models? The manual says to push back and lift up once free of the retainers. But the metal rod inside the front bottom seat is…Continue

63 Carter AFB Inlet Nut
Anybody know a good source for these? There are a few places that sell them but nobody cross-references them in anyway so you know you're getting the right one. I wasted a bunch of $ on aftermarket fuel lines, whose screws didn't quite fit and did some damage to my inlet nut. So now of course I have an uncontrollable leak. Lovely.See More
"Right, I've known that part all along. What I was trying to confirm is whether or not the housing itself had a pemanent rubber base or not. I opened again, found a gasket was already glued inside and very brittle - so I broke it out…"
"Thanks Jason, that is good to know. What I can't figure out is what is supposed to be inside the metal filter housing. Is it just metal or is there a permanent rubber base that the gasket sits on? Can't see up there but…"
"No, the Wix 33039 filter doesn't come with a gasket. It's supposedly for the AC cars, which mine is, yet the small holes scattered around the base are too small and restricted flow. As soon as I installed the car was starved…"
"You would think so, but no matter how many times I install, confirm both surfaces clean, glass bowl centered & firm, retainer centered perfectly and tight, the thing still leaks like mad. Really terrible design. Nobody sells gaskets…"

Rear Side Window Stainless Sill Removal
Posted on June 24, 2019 at 3:07pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I'm looking to replace a piece of the stainless trim that sits on the outside of the car like a sill outside the rear passenger side window. I can just barely see one screw at one end but does the door panel and/or window need to come out to access this? If anyone has done this I'd like to learn what is involved. Here's a photo of the piece I'm talking about:…
For sale: 1963 Cadillac front center impact bar $100 + shipping

Offering this newly re-chromed 1963 Cadillac front center impact bar for sale, $100 plus whatever it costs to ship it from Detroit to your location.
The unit fits perfect on driver's side but does not sit flush on passenger side. I am told someone needs to take a wooden block and hammer and bang the passenger side lower corner in to make it fit right. If you know how to do this stuff, this is the piece for you.

Posted on May 17, 2016 at 11:30am 6 Comments 0 Likes
Last weekend, I was trying (vainly) to remove the blower motor cover in the engine compartment when I noticed something strange: A black rubber hose, originating from a vacuum actuator on the passenger side of my Carter carb, that went nowhere. The previous owner had carefully tucked the free end underneath another vacuum actuator attached to the blower motor cover. There was a plastic nipple stuck in the free end of the hose, meaning the other end led to another hose. I looked…
ContinueBeware OPGI Transmission Cooler Lines
Posted on May 22, 2015 at 8:30am 3 Comments 0 Likes
The lines sold for 1963 & 64 Cadillacs are NOT good on all cars. Specifically, they do NOT fit Series 62 or 75 vehicles.
The lines they sell have threaded ends/screws on both ends. Refer to your shop manuals and you will see this is NOT the correct fitting for the transmission ends. A complicated setup involving beaded tube endings and sleeves with O-rings connected by rubber hose & clamps is required.
After two lengthly phone conversations with customer service it…

Help on Removal of rear seatback on 64 convertible
Posted by Nile Bolen on January 8, 2021 at 11:44am 7 Comments 0 Likes
I'm trying to remove the rear seatback on my 1964 deville conv. The only help on this site that I can find is the following:
The seatback, its bright stainless trim, and the speaker grille are removed as an assembly. The seat back hangs on two hooks near the top, and is retained to the body by two bolts and washers near the floor, one on the right side, one on the left.Once these fasteners are removed, lift the seat back upward and free it from the hooks
I've removed…

Are the front and rear seat frames the same for 63/64 Coupes and Convertibles because Original parts group makes reproduction seat covers for 1963 only and and i prefer the 1963 seat pattern so with that being said does anyone have information regarding this thanks.
