Source for Replacement Radiator for my 64 with AC

I want to replace the radiator in my 64 DeVille. 

Which vendor is a good source for an OEM type unit?

Thanks

Thanks. Beautiful, fresh green antifreeze and a properly timed/tuned car. No, this is simply a case of radiator fatigue, which I confirmed with my laser temperature gauge; cool spots in a couple of places suggest blockages. Not enough to overheat the car (because it runs well and is in proper tune) but enough to cause it to run just a bit hotter than I would like. Still the original radiator, which I am first going to have boiled out, rodded out and sealed up. Then we'll see.

I think that's what I'll do just as soon as I get the car back from the body shop where it is being carefully polished out. My car does not overheat, nor does it overflow when shut off but the needle goes to just below half in traffic. All my other (properly running) Cadillacs ran at one needle width below the first quarter (admittedly, those were much newer cars but that's what i recall).

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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

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?
