The 63/64 Cadillac Chapter is well represented for the 2nd consecutive month with an excellent driving tour article by the the Cadillac and LaSalle Club of France Secretary and US liason James Ayres in the February 2013 issue of the Self Starter.   Be sure to check out page 11 in this month's self starter.

Congratulations James. It was nice seeing your 64 CDV when I turned to page

OK so six months ago when the car hit the road it had lifter noise. added some Nulon lifter free and no more noise.  now done 2500 km and there is a hint of some lifter noise again.

where is the best place to source new lifters and any tricks in replacing them?

hey guys looking for front shocks for my 63 conv. i remember someone had them for sale any help is appreciated thank you.

      I'm in need of a rebuildable Carter AFB for my 1964 Fleetwood. My car is in winter storage and I would like to have one ready when I get it out. Can anyone help or suggest? How about it  Jason, got one? Thanx Frank

Since our 63/64 Cadillac Chapter has members spread out all over the USA and world, last month I started adding national Car Shows to our events website page and newsletter using the very handy Hemming car event search tool.  For the January newsletter coming out shortly I have added Car Auctions and will expand to include swap meets, etc in the future.

If you have specfic events in your area that are not already on the list…

OK so fiddling with the climate control means I have had to idle the engine for an extended period resulting in a large black sotty mark on the driveway and fouled spark plugs.  cleaned the plugs and washed down the drive but is this an indication of rich mixture and if so is there an adjustment for mixture on the carter carbys?  have not looked in the service manual thought I would put it out here for comment first.

ok I have sourced a 1970 transducer for my 64 climate control. told it would work.

it does but I need to adujust it and  unlike the 64 transducer that had the screw

adjustment at the bottom this one appears to have none.   at 65 degrees its getting

8.6 volts but still holding 7 inches of vacuum - still too much for the power servo arm

to move far enough forward to actuate the mode control so the AC comes on.

any ideas how to…
