To start i want to say nothing wrong with customs. But, along with Tony and Ginny 429 many words  of wisdom it is enough to maintain in original condition. Cadillac built the car to run like Chuck Berrys Maybelline, my orig. carb . gets me 13 mpg. on the road ,70-75 mph.and if i feel the need to pass rice Irocket,no problem! I am glad others kept my car orig for me to enjoy now! the next generations will enjoy. I had a carter restored at Benchwick carbs. inc. ohio 330-782-3767, not only did…

Funny Picture of a Crazy Cadillac Person

Every year or so I pull pictures off my wife's iPhone and organize them in folder by date. I have been pulling them off but behind on organizing them. Here is one I thought was funny where she caught me standing on the tailgate of the Escalade taking a picture of the 429 engine I had just rebuilt. Picture is kinda fuzzy but thought it was funny nonetheless.…

Column Shifter for a 64 Cadillac Conv.

Does anyone have a column shifter (for park, rev, drive) with possibly a red tip end. If the end is a different color I will paint it.

Thanks

   Has anyone had good luck with a replacement gas tank?  I need to replace my gas tank in my 64 CDV and as I look around I see advertised replacement tanks that will work, but the fine print states that they are 4 gal less than the original tank.  Cadi's aren't known for their fuel economy.  Would like to find something with the same gallons.  Anyone have any experiences to share?  Thanks Kevin

A Sad Day in Mudville

Saturday was a bad day.

The wife and I was returning home from a local cruise when ol Blue started reving up going down the interstate. Yep, something gave out on the old tranny. The underside of the car is soaked with tranny fluid along with the rear of the car. It lost it fast, by the time I got to the exit, there was no movement. Pulled the dipstick, empty.

I thought maybe one of the rubber hoses in the cooling lines gave out but I can't see anything wrong with them.  Of…

Trunk pull down cable

I am striking out on finding a trunk pull down cable, has anyone used a different cable?

I was thinking maybe a bicycle cable of some kind.

 Is there a way to close the trunk without the cable to pull it the rest of the way down?

convertible pump

Does anyone know which connection on the pump is used for the lower connection of the ram for the convertible hood. There is a connection on the side of the trunk and a connection on the side of the rear seat. One of the hydraulic lines has a hooked connection and i guess that goes to the lower connection of the ram. love to hear from you.

Cadillac Chrome

Just wondering if anyone has had their 63 or 64 Cadillac Bumpers re-chromed? What should I expect to pay for show quality? I would like to have a ball park price, as I will get several estimates. Mine have dents, but luckily no rust. I realize rust repair and welding would add to the cost. Thanks for any input.

1964 Heater Core Replacement Question-Non AC

Just a quick question about the Heater Assembly. I have been following the manual, but still have a question. I have the glove box removed, the bowden cables taken off, and the section under the hood removed. I am having difficulty in seeing where the Heater assembly is attached. Once this is taken down, I will have access to the old core. Any info or pics on this would be much appreciated.

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!

accumulator dryer

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on December 6, 2023 at 10:54am 0 Comments

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
