"Evening Mike,
I will take your offer to borrow the brake booster tool to spin the clam shell. Reach me at 716-238-5591, bbembenista@gmail.com
Thank you. Bruce"
"Yes, I found out that it is indeed hard (impossible) to find a good new brake booster for our '63s. I ended up rebuilding my Delco style booster with the new rebuild parts and it works great. Those boosters are relatively easy to rebuild. I…"
"Eunan - Thanks for the reply. Your information is indeed very helpful. Jason got me fixed up with a rebuildable unit but I may still purchase a new unit from O'Reilly. Please keep me posted once you install yours so I can check on the fit &…"
"Eunan - Did you ever find a 64 Delco booster? I'm in need of a Delco booster for my '63 but it sounds like a 64 Delco would work, as well."
"Thanks for the reply but these are definitely too hard and not normal - I almost have stand on the pedal. After more research, I think I'm definitely missing that support plate seal retainer. I'm hoping someone can come to my rescue and…"

The brakes on our year Cadillacs peddle gets very hard with about 3/8 inch travel on the peddle — unlike the newer ABS brakes that always have a softer feel when foot pressure is applied — a spongy feel
I do hope…"
Delco Booster Question - Missing Part?
So, I bit the bullet and decided to rebuild the Delco Moraine brake booster in my '63 Deville due to a super hard pedal. Thanks to the many forum discussions on this site, I got it apart with no issues (and I'll post the removal tool I built later in another post and lend it to anyone who needs it). Unfortunately, I realized that I am missing the "support plate seal retainer" (see picture) that looks like it goes between the booster and the master cylinder. I believe the booster is original…See More

63 Coupe De Ville - No Sail Panel Lights
I'm putting the interior back in my 63 CoupeDeVille and I was hoping to add some light to the interior. I have no dome light and no lights in the sail panels. The only interior lights are in the door panels, under the dash and in the back of the front seat. I'd like to add lights in the sail panels. Can someone tell me if this was a factory option and, if so, where were the lights placed? (any pics would be appreciated) I see several suppliers providing GM sail panel lights like these - …See More

Need help with a hood latch
Posted by Curtis Dover on January 2, 2023 at 5:23pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys, I need some help. Could someone send me some pictures on how the first hood release lever on a factory 1964 Cadillac is set up, where it comes though the grille. Not the secondary one. I need to know where the thumb or finger position is located through the grille. Is it above or below the center grille molding piece? Mine seems to be positioned behind the center molding piece and will not adjust above or below the molding. I have a wire tied to it to release it…

I removed the front cover to change out the timing chain & gears all that went pretty well when I put the cover back on I put in a fresh oil filter ,filled it up figured it would be enough to prime the oil pump when I started the car .Fired up the car and heard lifters rattling, So I shut the car down right away. So I removed the oil filter housing, and poured oil down the neck of the oil pump housing filled it up and filled up the filter put it all together and fired it up and same…

Caddy members, I’m upgrading my 64 2-door coupe deville.
motor guy lost my block (machine shop went under) so I’m replacing motor & tranny with LS conversion. I have motor parts (other than block) for 429, rebuilt transmission, converter, and too many other motor parts not needed with fully dressed LS going in.
Email me (Tom.reichenberger@ipsper.com) or call me (210-739-4854) if you’re interested…..I live in San Antonio, TX.
thanks, TX…
ContinueTrunk Open and Lock Mechanism is in Closed Position
Posted by Chris Anderson on September 13, 2022 at 7:14pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
While working on my trunk lock on 64 Cadillac, I mistakenly closed the locking mechanism while the trunk was open. Is there an easy way to manually release the lock back to the open position?
Thanks.
