FIRST:  The site has had intermittent problems today and have been "on the horn" with the Ning.com folks and believe they are getting everything straightened out. So for that I apologize.

Odometer?

A while back my odometer quit working just as it was turning over 40000 mi. I took some time and pulled the speedo out expecting to see a stripped gear somewhere. What I found was a chunk broke out of the odometer dial. Its locked up tight.

I replaced the dial with a working one but would like to set the numbers to around 42000 instead of showing 004876.

My…

Power Widow Relay

The windows in my Eldorado just stop working and traced the problem to the power window relay. I took it apart and found an open coil. Before I go to the trouble of rewinding the coil, does anyone know where I can find a replacement relay?

63 cadillac jetaway filler tube leak

Hello Everyone once again I am struggling with transmission leak. After months of inspecting, changing pan gaskets, and pans, I can definitely see a slow yet constant leak from the filler tube where it mates to the trans. Here is the problem, the tube is mounted to the exhaust manifold and upon inspection and trying to remove that bolt I fear it breaking into the block and opening a world of troubles. Without removing the filler tube, Is there any other way to replace that O ring or put some…

correct size of vacuum hose turbo hydramatic

I'm pretty sure anybody here knows the correct size of inner diameter of the rubber vacuum hose from the metal vacuum line to the vacuum modulator assembly? Mine is the original one, too old and does have several cracks now. Now the gear is not shifting anymore or let's say at too high rpm.

I don't have my car around me currently. So unfortunately I can't have a look by myself! :(

I checked the Help page and did a search on the site but didn't see any subjects on steering play/slack.  Since I had someone complete a front end rebuild (Kanter kit, all the control arm bushings,…Continue

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 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…
