There's a lot of cool things about this Ning webhosting tool. I just figured out the 'Feature' tool. I can take any picture in a photo album and 'Feature' it which means when you click on the 'Photos' tab the "featured" photo is up top. That is exactly what we need for the Member Cadillac Spotlight picture!

1963 Horns
In 1963 there were two conch shell shaped horns roughly 5" diameter. One Hi Note and one Lo Note. They were marked with the 'L' and 'H' inside the lip of the horn. The standard 1963 Hi note horn was originally part # 900-0444, but was then replaced with the smaller 1964 style Hi Note horn # 900 0514 as stock was depleted. The standard 1963 Lo note horn was originally part # 900-0429,…

There are 3 driveshafts used in 1963 & 1964 Cadillacs.
Since the Hydramatic transmission was longer than the “new for 1964” Turbo Hydramatic transmission, the front section is shorter than the ones used on TH equipped cars. This basically means that all regular body style 1963 Cadillacs, and the "62 series" 1964's came with the driveshaft…

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,
-Samu

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?
