The Hydramatic Transmissions (used in all 63 body styles and 62 series, 75 series, and commercial chassis in 1964 body styles) often have shims between the rear transmission mount and rear crossmember to reduce lower speed vibration.
In the 1963 Shop Manual, Propeller Shaft and Rear Axle Chapter 7, Section 10 Propeller Shaft Assembly Removal and Installation, information found on page 7-11 it states:

There's a lot of cool things about this Ning webhosting tool. I just figured out the 'Feature' tool. I can take any picture in a photo album and 'Feature' it which means when you click on the 'Photos' tab the "featured" photo is up top. That is exactly what we need for the Member Cadillac Spotlight picture!

1963 Horns
In 1963 there were two conch shell shaped horns roughly 5" diameter. One Hi Note and one Lo Note. They were marked with the 'L' and 'H' inside the lip of the horn. The standard 1963 Hi note horn was originally part # 900-0444, but was then replaced with the smaller 1964 style Hi Note horn # 900 0514 as stock was depleted. The standard 1963 Lo note horn was originally part # 900-0429,…

There are 3 driveshafts used in 1963 & 1964 Cadillacs.
Since the Hydramatic transmission was longer than the “new for 1964” Turbo Hydramatic transmission, the front section is shorter than the ones used on TH equipped cars. This basically means that all regular body style 1963 Cadillacs, and the "62 series" 1964's came with the driveshaft…

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

Many thanks,
-Samu

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…
