Couple Questions - 63 SDV

I've got a couple questions for those in the know.

What years Cad V  hood ornament will interchange? One point is broken on mine. Anyone have one?

OK, so I must be just dumb. How the heck do you get the driver door panel off?. I know there's screws on the bottom, nails on the sides. I can get the control panel up to disconnect. Inside door handle? etc?

Also, the wiper/washer motor and switch - what years interchange?

Thanks for any help.

Newbie here from Ks - 63 Sedan DeVille

Hello all, thought I would introduce myself. Tom Bahner here in Rossville Ks. Hope I'm posting this in the correct place, if not let me know. Absolutely love the looks of these old ledsleds.

Was happy to find this chapter as I have just become the owner of a 63 Sedan DeVille. She's pretty rough but being on a retired budget, was one I could afford that actually ran and drove. I thought about having it hauled the 3hr.trip  home but decided to roll the dice and drive her home. PO…

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

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
