Starters Used in 1963 and 1964

--> All 1963 Cadillacs used the 2 bolt Hydramatic (HM) starter that was used from 1961 to 1964.

--> There were two starters used in 1964 due to the use of the newTurbo Hydramatic (THM) transmission on DeVilles, Eldos and Fleetwood 60S, and the adaptor ring required to mount the "Buick Borrowed" THM transmission to the 429 engine block.

--> The 2 bolt HM starter was used from 1961 to 1964  (parts group 2.041 part # 110 7387)

Engine trouble

My daily driver '64 Cadillac deVille emitted some white smoke from the engine on start up today and stalled out. Now it will not idle and stalls when I take my foot off of the gas. All of the fluids seem fine, and I have not fiddled with the carburetor anytime recently. It appears that I have a leak from the passenger side valve cover as well. I'll be posting a link to a video as soon as it finishes uploading. Any ideas?

Ballast resistor and petronic ignitor 3

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

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?
