More Rear Main Seal Questions

The rear main seal on my 1964 Deville was replace about a year ago with the Best Branded one from Caddy Daddy.  Leaks were immediate and my mechanic was concerned about the gasket from the start.  Knowing what I know now, does anyone know where to source a Rebuilder's Choice seal or possibly even a factory style rope seal?   The transmission will be coming out anyways.  Also, I will check the rear main bearing cap for the needed modification.  ThanksSee 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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

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

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…
