Retaining Clips needed

012.JPGI am putting on a new hood to cowl seal on my 63' and there are three missing clips. I was wondering if anyone has any of these that they would be interested in selling to me.  I have attached a photo of the clip I am talking about.  You can email me at dejdmeloan@Hotmail.com.    Thanks, Doug

7000, 600, 150, 12, 11 ...Spanning Several Hundred Contacts

Wonder what these numbers are?

Right now I average 7000 Cadillac related emails a year, 600 emails a month, and 150 emails a week, spanning several hundred contacts, members, and customers asking about parts or questions about the 1963 and 1964 Cadillacs, which includes 12 body styles in 1963 and 11 body styles in 1964.

Couple that fact with there is a general misunderstanding that '62 series', DeVilles, Fleetwoods, and Eldo's, while sharing many similar "components", are…

Interesting find in trunk of my 63. Nope - its not a body.

I found this rather beat up trophy in the trunk of my recently purchased 63 4window. The previous owner had no history on it, or much on the car. He had owned it for 11 years and never did much with it except put a cheap paint job on it. Orig color was Benton Blue but its currently a little more blue that.

The trophy says Cadillac Club International - 1st…

Couple More Questions - 63 SDV

Man, this thing's really making me feel stupid. What air filter are you all using for you 63 Caddy?

I've tried several at my local parts supplier and none seem to be quite tall enough. Wix calls for 42080 but it don't seem right. The old filter is right at 3.25" high and most I've found are 3.04" or so. Too much gap at the top when its screwed down. The number on the decal on the air cleaner is A 96 C. Do I have the correct cleaner housing?

Also, been researching drive train…

Website URL www.6364cadillac.com Still Down --> Use www.6364cadillac.ning.com for Now

I've been back and forth with the folks at Register.com that host the domain name www.6364cadillac.com and provide the website forwarding to the actual web address www.6364cadillac.ning.com

Bottom line it is still down and I have asked them escalate immediately and put highest priority on this ticket so hopefully we will see a fix in the near future.

In the meantime please continue to use…

Happy New Years to All of our 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter and Website Members!

I had a quiet New Year's with my wife Cheryl having to work, so I hooked up the 2nd DropCam Pro facing the other direction over the garage deck and side yard, and had Cheryl online at midnite via her iphone from work. With the drop cam she can see us and zoom around, and speak but when she speaks the recorded video drops sound. Check our quaint New Years Eve out with me on the Garage Deck and Cheryl at work talking to us via…

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

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!
