Hi all and Happy Thanksgiving.
Driving the Big Blue Girl the other day and noticed I am not getting any heat. Took the heater control valve out and got a little movement out of it when applying vacuum. Seemed a little corroded but not bad. With the hand held vacuum pump, {self bleeder}, I was blowing through the unit and it did open and close.
I put it back in and noticed not much to no vacuum coming from the red vacuum line to the top of the diaphragm whether on 65 or…

I removed the tailfin lamp assemblies on my 63 (was not easy getting that top bolt out in the tip of the fin) to have them re-chromed. The rubber gaskets where the plastic lenses snug up against are not bad and could be reused but the gaskets where the chrome housing meets the body are in poor condition and I was wondering if anyone knew of a supplier for these. If not has anyone had any luck trying to re-produce them? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Just bumped up the info about customizing your Personal Pages here on our 63/64 Cadillac Network Website.
I'll add "cool pages" as I find them but will start with mine and Chris Codd's pages and add more later. Check out these and let us know if you have customized your page:

Hello everyone,
Want to check my understanding of the battery cable hook up for my '63 Cadillac.
I have the negative cable connected to the negative post... then bolts to the frame just below the battery.
The positive cable connects to the pos post and then to the starter connection. Also the felt washers are to be soaked in oil before installation onto the bat posts per the shop manual... anyone do this anymore?

Will be heading out to the last car show of the year at the Carolina Collector Auto Fest at the NC State Fairgrounds & Historic Dorton Arena in Raleigh, NC in about an hour. I've been full blast getting my interior out and some problem areas addressed for the past 2 or 3 weeks and looking forward to driving and enjoying the car again. I really doubted I could have it ready in time for the car show and meetup with our Eastern North Carolina CLC Region members, but got er done just in…

I recently completed a complete engine rebuild on my 64 CDV. I have a continuing problem (both before and after the rebuild). When I am stuck in traffic and the car begins to run real hot, but not overheated, the car runs very rough and will stall out unless you are able to make it out to open road in which it will sputter a bit, but begin to run perfectly once the operating temp drop down a bit. I have replaced the carb at a different time from the rebuild and it made no difference, the…

Two interior issues being addressed on my 64 CDV:
While I was off work this week I removed the bench seat to have new fabric sewn on the back bottom of seat, and to fix a missing button and add some new padding. Along with the seat, I also took the arm rests that need to be redyed and some cracking on my left driver side arm rest. I also might see about dying that gear shift lever cap sandalwood.
For the paint shop, I removed all the items that unbolt from the dash including…

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?

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!
