I need some help/advice guys and gals! The short story: I purchased my '64 deVille in 2011 from dealer in Utah. Drove it home with a couple of minor issues to Virginia. Started working on…Continue

Hi,I have a '63 deVille dash for sale, w/speaker grille. The color is brown; no dings, cracks or holes, really nice for its age. There are a couple of darker stains, not sure if they will come out.…Continue

"Hi Dennis!
Yes, heading back out to remove that ground strap and do just that. I can see it's not broken, maybe a little tattered along one edge. Since it's bolted to the aluminum bell housing there may be corrosion…"
"Yes, actually disconnected those two wires, felt them from underneath the car and they were routed too close to the manifold, where it melted the plastic loom that was installed by previous folks. I failed to see that before. I cut away…"
"Linda,
P.S. If everything goes well, try to join Jason's Zoom meeting on the 23rd of the month. It is really good and you can share all of this.

"Thanks Dennis! I think by the trunk stuffed with spare parts and tools I was ready for anything else to happen. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to electrical problems, but I'm trying! Jason's…"
"Thanks Jason, very good write up! Yes, my sister had the key to full right/start and volts @ the R solenoid terminal/yellow wire were 6v, and 10.8v at the blue solenoid wire. Correction re: yellow wire on coil (paired w/resistor wire)…"
"Well, just checked voltage @ starter. 10.8v at dark blue wire at solenoid from NSS with key in start, and 6v at yellow solenoid wire from coil. Volts at coil + yellow wire is 12v. I know this is bad. Battery reads 12.6v…"
"Hi Dennis,
Yes now I have electrical issues, left VA Thurs am, drove 7 hrs and in Notwich, OH. I stopped for gas twice and once at a rest area, car shut off and restarted without a problem. Stoped at a BP at this exit to get directions…"
"OK Linda,
Good trip and we'll talk soon!! You are very welcome.
Dennis"
"Thanks Dennis, I'll install the new check valve and grommet (if it fits), the hose is new - I meant to say 11/32", so good to go there. OPGI can get the Bendix booster rebuild kit, but hope mine is good enough to get me home.
Thanks…"
"Hi Linda,
Your comments are the best. I would pop in the new check valve and the new 11/32 hose for the booster - can't hurt. You're right; the parts stores don't carry that special hose - thought I was…"
"Hi Dennis, I wish I had more time to be more thorough, but too close to winter and the trip I have to make. This is my final move out of Virginia, my last bit of shop stuff, junk and the last car. Too stubborn and sentimental to get rid…"
"Sounds like you have done it all. When I restored my entire braking system, I had my Delco booster rebuilt and installed that as well (I was twisted like a pretzel under the dash for that)! I got a new check valve for it and the…"
"Isn't it great to have those old tools? I hope to work on the mixture adjustment on Thurs, and check the timing, that's when the vacuum advance should be delivered. I shouldn't have any vacuum leaks, all hoses have been…"
"Linda,
This is excellent news. I have also had my dwell meter since the 70's and always check it is spot on at 30 degrees. Fine tune the air/fuel mixture and you'll be great! Safe trip home and check…"

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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 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…
