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.

Looking for cadillac convertible. Just not a 63 or 64

Sorry to be off,topic but I would like to add a project to my garage. I think a 1960 convertible would fit the bill. One on a working mans budget. Hard to find here in Wisconsin so I figured maybe someone on this site can find my 64 a friend. Thanks

Radiator Reservoir Tank

My radiator has no reservoir tank and I did not see anything about one in the shop manual. I'm sick of constantly refilling my radiator so if anybody has one for sale, I could really use one.

Looking for right hand manifold and 15"wheels

Hello, winter is here again and it's time to work on the 64 deville. Looking for 4 wheels in the se Wisconsin area that accept hubcaps and a good right hand exhaust manifold. The manifold can come from anywhere. Shipping should not be too painful. I did find some wheels for $50 each locally but I am not sure if it is a good price. Thanks for your help

Wiper motor trouble shooting

Needing some electrical help. My old '63 Sedan DV electrical system is not in the greatest shape.

A current MUST is wipers, as they don't work at all.. I'm waiting on a shop manual but it will be a week or so before it arrives. I't appears the washer and wiper motors are one unit, I'm guessing at all this stuff. With the key on and the switch on, ,I'm getting 12v to one side of the 2 wire plug, which I assume is the washer and to the middle contact on the 3wire connector, which I…

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…

Sneak Peak of Parts Car and Garage

I've just upgraded my Drop Cam HD to Drop Cam Pro for surveillance outside the garage and can make it public at my discretion. I'm thinking I might take one with me to the Lake George Grand National but will need to test on some "off sit" wifi hotspots.

If you have fast broadband, I've turned the camera on the corner of the garage on a bit, which you can see by clicking on http://dropc.am/p/BQTSLH

Heater core replacement

Does anybody have a detailed set of instructions on how the heater core comes out??? 

Is this from the inside on the car (disassemble the dash?) or from the engine compartment??

Post New Messages to the 'Message Board' --> Status Updates Turned Off

I have noticed many members simply post a "Status Update" when they want to ask a question or tell others about something instead of posting to the Message Board. The problem with this is that it is only seen by those you have "friended" on the site and believe most of you want the entire group to see your posts. 

With that in mind, I have disabled the Status Update feature and instead encourage you to click on Message…

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!

accumulator dryer

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on December 6, 2023 at 10:54am 0 Comments

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
