Recently my headlights have been flickering from high beam to low beam in rapid succession, but only periodically. Also sometimes when I try to turn on brights they won't come on, and then suddenly they may come on and then flick back off, or may stay on. Autronic Eye is turned off but need some thoughts on what may be causing this. Bad floor switch? Short in system? Doesnt seem to act up until I try to turn on brights, then it is anyone guess what will happen.

Needing to know factory correct spark plug for 1963 Cadillac. I assume it is either the AC-44 or AC-45 spark plug with the green rings but can someone let me know if this is correct and if so which one? Thanks, Doug

Seems like my 63' is going to test my patience this month. I get one problem solved and another shows up. Recently I noticed I was not getting any back up lights to come on. With good advice from several of you on this blog forum figured out it was the NSS. Replaced NSS and that seemed to solve the problem, except only one back up light comes on. Checked the wiring, cleaned the connections, all other lights working correctly, have power to light green wire that connects to back up bulb …

My back up lights have recently quit working. I thought perhaps the NSS was the issue so I took it off and inspected it and don't see any broken parts. I jumpered the pink/black stripe wire to the light green wire to see if they would come on and still no back up lights. (yes, I turned key to on position) Bulbs are fine, fuse is fine. Any thoughts where to check next? Thanks, Doug

012.JPGI am putting on a new hood to cowl seal on my 63' and there are three missing clips. I was wondering if anyone has any of these that they would be interested in selling to me. I have attached a photo of the clip I am talking about. You can email me at dejdmeloan@Hotmail.com. Thanks, Doug

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.

We celebrated our 1963 Coupe Deville's 50th birthday by purchasing a 2013 DTX. 1963 was purchased in July 1963, 2013 in July 2013. Exactly 50 years difference to the month. Previous photos I posted are of the two cars together.

I am trying to get all of the cigarette lighters working in my 63 Coupe deVille. The only two that don't work is the front drivers side and the back drivers side. They are both missing the entire assemblies. I have found the assemblies for the front tray and have wired it. The problem I have with it is that the former owner cut the wires in the dash when he removed the lighter assembly so all I have left are the three wire stubs. The wire assembly from the ashtray has a three prong male…

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
