While the brake lights on my 1963 series 62 convertible do work, other drivers complain that they burn too dimly to be seen in daylight. Before I look for more complicated causes, can anyone tell me if there is a grounding point for them in the trunk?

64 Hey all, I'm in the process of having a guy fix the choke tube as I could hear a ticking under load like and exhaust/intake leak. Well my worst fear was realized and the intake is cracked.
So, I'm on the hunt for a good one. Anyone out there have one??
63 SDV w/air
I know the 62 and prior won't fit, don't figure a 64 429 would either.

Check out the great collection of links to old car videos on the AACA site at http://www.tvraaca.org/oldmovies.htm#movie
Click the movie camera icon on the right to see videos. I didn't see any 1963 or 64 Cadillac videos (might be some embedded with other videos) but there's a ton of cool old ads, etc. Here's a 1964 ad for gasoline you will find: http://www.tvraaca.org/purei.htm

I am working on a 63 Fleetwood series 62.
Does anyone have experience gapping the doors and what is the procedure from point A to B, what is the starting point? I can not get them just right, I looked up the gaps they are to be 3/16 to 1/4. I started from the back doors and am trying to work my way to the fenders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. Been gone a while and suffered through a computer melt-down. What a pain in the posterior!
Well, I found another "old school" auto tech that was very familiar with the AC system on the old girl. It turns out I had a major leak at the STV(suction Throttling valve). We ordered an update kit for it off epay for $75. This thing isn't easy to get to as its stuck between the fender and hood hinges. I guess there's an access panel on the fender well that can be removed once you take…

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?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
