Replacement 63 Radiator Recommendations
My 61 year old radiator sprung a leak (actually a few leaks). What are you guys using as replacements? Are you replacing with copper or aluminum? How many rows are you running in the radiator? How's the fitment? I understand some manufacturers require you to modify the bottom mount. Also, I've seen some where the transmission coolers lines are not the factory sizes. BTW- This is a factory A/C car.See More
"Cees - Your explanation is great (and your English is much better than many who's English is their native language SMILES). I thought that my bracket might be a little bent. I'll look at mine compared to yours and that will help me to get…"
"Not sure about the paper over the carb but the hissing is not normal and is, almost always, a vacuum leak. In order to help find the leak, you can go to your parts store and buy about 3' of rubber vacuum hose (any size) and use it as a…"
"Thanks for the pictures, Cees. I'm wondering if my hanger which is on the body is correct. Jason sold me a hanger that attaches to the pipe over the axle and is supposed to fit into that hanger but I can't figure how to attach it to my…"

63 Exhaust Hanger Mystery
I'm in the process of installing a stainless steel single exhaust from Classic Exhaust on my '63 Coupe de Ville. I'm running into a mystery regarding my middle exhaust bracket. I have the bracket that goes on the body but I'm missing the piece or pieces that attach the pipe to that body bracket. I've attached a picture of the bracket I have (the pic is taken looking up over the rear axle where the "over the axle" pipe will run). I was hoping someone on this forum would be so kind as to post…See More

63 Booster Fitment
I'm converting my front brakes to discs on my '63 Deville. I purchased the complete kit from ABS, including the booster & master cylinder. The calipers and spindles fit great. The problem is that the brake booster bolt pattern through the firewall is different than my '63. It is a little smaller and I don't want to drill out/egg out my firewall to accommodate this booster. The description says it fits 62-66 so I'm wondering if the firewalls are different for '63. Are the booster bolt…See More
"Thanks, Chris for the good information. I'll definitely perform a leakdown test once I find the low compression cylinder (if I find a low cylinder) but whether I find low compression or not, I still want to install hardened valve seats for any…"
"I would perform a cylinder leak down test, that will tell you which valves are leaking by listening @ the tail pipe for exhaust valves & the carb for intake valves, also the oil fill tube for rings leaking. I have used hardened valve seats…"

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,

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?
