My 1964 429 has a loose water pump pulley. I have taken everything apart four times and still cannot get it to seat tight against the water pump. The shaft on the water pump is still tight with no play. I fear this vibration will ruin the bearings if I do not get this fixed. I am not driving this car until it gets repaired. The four bolts go through the fan blade, spacer , and pulley. They will not go any tighter, yet still the pulley has lots of play. Any advice would be greatly…

Due to career changes I just listed my 64 convertible deville on ebay for a buy it now price of $15,000.00.Feels like the death of a close friend.

As featured in this month's newsletter, we are featuring Marty Smith's beautiful 1964 Eldorado.  The following has been posted to our Spotlight page and will continue to spotlight until we our next member feature!…

I'm working on the June Newsletter (hope to get it out while it is still June!) and having too much fun playing with Paint Shop and the pictures. One day when I get time I'm going to have to go back through these and just get a lot of large prints made!  Check out the 64 Eldo Picture below.... you will definitely see it again in the Newsletter:…

I was just updating the latest Newsletter with Chapter and Website stats and noticed we just signed up Website Member 1100.   We've sure come a long way since starting our then new site back in August 2012!  Congrats to all involved with making this a great site!

Several Discussion topics such as Lodging, Activities and Events, Lake Cruises, Whose Going, and a general discussion section have been added to a new 2014 Grand National Forum at www.2014GN.6364cadillac.com

Trying to wrap up some house projects before we head up to Lake George for the Grand National, and  today we poured twenty 80lb bags of concrete to finish out a curb wall up next to our 102 year old brick foundation,…

One of the first things I heard that would be nice to have here on our Ning.com hosted site when we moved here a couple years ago were separate classified forums. 

We now have them and I have added easy to remember website names for our For Sale and Wanted Classifed Forums:…

Has anyone had any experience with refurbishing their dashboard.  while reviewing the vendors website that is listed on the 63/64 website, it seems like a long and expensive proposition.  Anyone  had and good luck with any Vendor out there that you might recommend.    Anyone got an idea on what I should be paying?  any advice would be welcome

Here's a shout out to all the Dad's out there, and all of you like me that were greatly influence by their dad's.  My dad Sam Edge had a huge influence on me in terms of my interest in automobiles.    Everything in his life revolved around  his two boys, and literally gave us everything he had to make our lives as good as they could be under the circumstances.

We grew up poor, and as a laid off and recently divorced truck driver for Burlington Industries raising two boys in the late…

Has anyone out there replaced their OEM radiator with an aftermarket aluminum radiator??? If so, from who and how did it fit?? I'm a little worried that modifications will have to be done to make an aftermarket fit.

A recore job will cost about $450. Alum. radiators are selling for about $200. Restoration is not my goal but functionality is.

Mine isn't leaking yet, but is showing some green areas on the corners, so there are some weak spots.

I'm getting the AC fixed and…

When I rebuilt my engine in 2012, I found a useful guide by the AERA (Associated Engine Rebuilders)  that I went by when I broke in my engine and thought I would post here and put a link in our Help Topics page since this topic has come up a few times recently.

Here is the main link: http://gafiero.akroncdnr.com/docs/BreakIn.pdf 

Here are some of the main points I picked up from it:

In order to get us more familiar with the set-up and use of separate Forums, vs Blogs (what we use for our Message board), I have renamed Message Board to Blogs, and added a new tab called Forums.  You can continue to use  Blogs as our Message Board but as you get use to some of the features of the Forums you will probably want to use the forums functionality for lengthy group Q&A type discussion.  These are just baby steps in what will hopefully be a more robust way to communication…

I am having extreme difficulty trying to have my car shipped. My brother and I have gotten nothing but the run around from 2 companies. Can anyone recommend a decent auto transport company? My car is in Carlsbad CA and I need it shipped to Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Thanks

Well, I'm still slowly going through a lot of trials and tribulations, trying to get this 63 SDV back in shape.

I remember now why I went from cars to antique tractors as therapy. Tractors are simple and cheap. I'm beginning to liken this to the game of golf, which I can't stand and never took up. But, then I go for a drive, look at the lines of these ol rigs, and start in again.

It took me two shops to get the rear spherical ball joint replaced.  1st on couldn't keep rear…
