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

Norm

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.

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).

I'm currently rounding up parts for a heater core replacement in my 1964 Deville. I'm looking for replacement hoses that connect to the heater core itself. It's a factory a/c car and has the metal…Continue

Finally got around to cleaning and re-lubricating the seat transmission. Now, it works flawlessly

When I first got my 64 SDV about 8 years ago, the power seat made noise but didn't go anywhere. I promptly read up on it and proceeded to take the seat transmission out to clean and re-lubricate it.…Continue

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
