Well I finally made the jump and had some work done on my interior. Thought I would share a pic of the cover my upholsterer punt on my dash. It was cracked in several places with the ugly foam showing. Seemed like every time I touched it, I put a new crack in it. I think it turned out well for a driver. Anyway- no more ugly cracks. They did have to put a seam on the…

FIRST:  The site has had intermittent problems today and have been "on the horn" with the Ning.com folks and believe they are getting everything straightened out. So for that I apologize.

SECOND: HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR MEMBERS IN THE USA AND ABROAD THAT CELEBRATE WITH…

A while back my odometer quit working just as it was turning over 40000 mi. I took some time and pulled the speedo out expecting to see a stripped gear somewhere. What I found was a chunk broke out of the odometer dial. Its locked up tight.

I replaced the dial with a working one but would like to set the numbers to around 42000 instead of showing 004876.

Hello Everyone once again I am struggling with transmission leak. After months of inspecting, changing pan gaskets, and pans, I can definitely see a slow yet constant leak from the filler tube where it mates to the trans. Here is the problem, the tube is mounted to the exhaust manifold and upon inspection and trying to remove that bolt I fear it breaking into the block and opening a world of troubles. Without removing the filler tube, Is there any other way to replace that O ring or put some…

I'm pretty sure anybody here knows the correct size of inner diameter of the rubber vacuum hose from the metal vacuum line to the vacuum modulator assembly? Mine is the original one, too old and does have several cracks now. Now the gear is not shifting anymore or let's say at too high rpm.

I don't have my car around me currently. So unfortunately I can't have a look by myself! :(

Hi all,

Kind of an unimportant thing but one that drives me nuts. How do you stop the passenger ash tray from rattling? Its also very hard to open. I see the latch mechanism but don't see any adjustment on it. Has anyone else ran into this?

Tired of trying to drown it out with the radio.

Thanks for any advice.

I am going to install a new Fuel Pump this week. It looks very simple in the manual. Although I do have one question. The manual says to make sure the camshaft eccentric is at the highest point. Could someone please tell me how to do this? Thank you.

I just purchased a used trumpet horn at the Hershey swap meet. I was missing the trumpet horn, but had the two smaller horns. The two smaller horns both worked fine. I cleaned the bracket and bolted the trumpet horn down tight where one of the other horns was and hooked the power wire up to it. I heard a very weak honk and then just the click of the relay. The horn sounds like it has some corrosion shaking around inside of it. I'd hate to have to rebuild it. Any suggestions for reviving…

I finally got around to scanning last month's self starter page with my Escalade EXT featured. It wears the Elvis license plate and as a fan of the man call it the Elvis-Scalade.    As you will read, I love my Escalade EXT and it has easily been the most versatile, useful vehicle I have ever owned.  This vehicle simply defines Luxury Sports Utility Truck,

While the brake lights on my 1963 series 62 convertible do work, other drivers complain that they burn too dimly to be seen in daylight. Before  I look for more complicated causes, can anyone tell me if there is a grounding point for them in the trunk?

64 Hey all, I'm in the process of having a guy fix the choke tube as I could hear a ticking under load like and exhaust/intake leak. Well my worst fear was realized and the intake is cracked.

So, I'm on the hunt for a good one. Anyone out there have one??

I know the 62 and prior won't fit, don't figure a 64 429 would either.

Beautiful skies and nice weather made great late Sunday afternoon cruising in the 1964 Cadillac with Cheryl, Priscilla and Presley. Video is on YouTube at http://youtu.be/Jyfy_ftr-qY

Click the movie camera icon on the right to see videos. I didn't see any 1963 or 64 Cadillac videos (might be some embedded with other videos) but there's a ton of cool old ads, etc.  Here's a 1964 ad for gasoline you will find: http://www.tvraaca.org/purei.htm

I am working on a 63 Fleetwood series 62.

Does anyone have experience gapping the doors and what is the procedure from point A to B, what is the starting point? I can not get them just right, I looked up the gaps they are to be 3/16 to 1/4. I started from the back doors and am trying to work my way to the fenders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
