vibration at 20-30 mph
My 64 Sedan De Ville has a vibration starting at 20 and stops at 25 to 30 mph before that and after that car runs smooth. Thinking it might be an exhaust vibration I put a little sill glide silicone on the rubber hangers which are only 10 years old and in very good condition. This did not help. There is no vibration when car idles or when I rev it up. The car runs and shifts great. I have just recently noticed this vibration. I have owned this car for over 10 years I bought it with 18000 miles…See More
"Ron,
The "D" bolt is 1/4" longer because it is the only one that goes through the oil filter support bracket. This is the same on AC & non-AC cars."
"Thanks guy's I am heading to NAPA now to pick them up"
"It is the Autolight 85 as Jason is indicating
Enjoy "
"Not the 303 as I would recognize the number
Ask the auto parts store for the equivalent to stock plug
I do not remember the exact plug number
I think the number is 45 but not 100 percent sure
Enjoy "
"I use Autolite 85, a very common quality spark plug. I use to run high dollar Bosch platinums and switched and could not really tell a difference."
" Hi Tony Would that be a Autolite 303? Thanks for your reply"

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…

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.
Fuel Pump Failure
Posted by Jon Shields on August 6, 2022 at 6:48am 4 Comments 0 Likes
Hello,
I'm located in Melbourne, Australia and my 64 sedan de ville is stuck in the garage due to failed mechanical fuel pump. The first after market mechanical fuel pump lasted a few years before it failed & left me stranded 5 hours from home. A hire car and tow got us home. On inspection, I noticed a valve not seated within the housing. I was optimistic, pressed it into place and assumed the pump was good to go. But alas, no. From what I can now determine, the diaphragm pushrod…
