1963 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Eyebrow Molding

I am readying my Fleetwood to be painted.  I need to replace the driver's side left chrome eyebrow molding (below the headlights).  It appears to be made from pot metal.  Mine is broken and I need to replace it.  Does anyone have one?  I just removed the front bumper for re-chroming and suspect that whatever I purchase should be re-chromed as well at the same time. Thank you.Stephen Pechenikspechenik@gmail.com(518) 469-4647 See More

Repairing Turn Signals on a 1963 with the Tilt Wheel Option

Jason Edge graciously furnished me with the repair manual supplement for the 1963 Cadillac repair manual.  Having reviewed the illustrations and read the instructions, I still cannot figure out how to take apart the turn signal cancellation mechanism.  I prefer to avoid removing the steering column to make this repair and seek advice from those of yuo who have attempted this endeavor before me.  I shall take photos over the weekend and will mark them up before posting. If any of you are…See More

There is a short hose on the top of the motor that connects from a straight pipe on the top of the engine to the water pump.  It appears to be a molded hose.  I have ordered a master parts book which has not yet arrived.  Does anyone know where I could find a new one (before I am forced to fashion some sort of solution)?  The hose is too short to bend heater hose without kinking it.  The bend is about 70 degrees, which makes me suspect that heater hose + a 90 degree elbow will also kink.Thank…See More

Preventive Maintenance

Posted on April 10, 2020 at 7:26pm 0 Comments

Dear All, 

Does anyone know if the 1963 Cadillac was manufactured with nylon timing gears?  I checked the factory repair manual which is silent on that issue.

This morning I was speaking with a mechanic at a location where I store another vehicle ('48 Chrysler NY'er).  He had a 70 Deville convertible on his lift to dismantle it so that he could replace the timing chain and more importantly, the nylon timing gears.  He explained that the nylon gets brittle with age and might …

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,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
