1964 Cadillac Interiors

  Can anybody give names of a supplier of 1964 Cadillac Interiors, Door panels and trunk kits? I have sourced many parts through OPGI with great success- but they have no mention of 64 seats covers or door panels. I have their 2013 parts catalog and they have seat covers for 1963 and 1965, but no mention of 1964- will 1963 fit 1964?? They have carpet for 1964 also which is good- but no door panels. They do however have door panels for newer cars such as 1971 to 1976. What does…

seat belts

I'm lucky enough to have received a complete set of the original Hamill seat belts (Model RFC-45-B) for my '63 as a birthday present from my wife. A soak in an ammonia solution along with some polish cleaned them up nicely, but as nice as they look, they don't function. Has anyone had any luck in freeing up the webbing that passes through the chrome receiver? Because the webbing is stuck the belts can't be adjusted.

Thanks,

Joe Rabbene

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…

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?
