Thanks for the update Chris. I will bump down to next person on the list and will check our your dash. The latest parts car is an eclectic mix. Of course first dibs goes to a a Gold Coupe DeVille located in Garner, NC! :-)
Hi Jason, I finally found one a few months back. Those things are damn difficult to find. Took about 6 years to find a replacement sensor grill. I went ahead and redyed the faded dash and installed the new sensor already. You can check it out in my pictures. The parts car that you brought in looks great. I'm sure there are some parts on that car that are in better shape than the ones on my car so I may be sending you another message soon.
I know Kanter (www.kanter.com) and other big national parts suppliers such as USA Parts (www.usapartssupply.com) listed in our Parts Suppliers page will have them. I sell parts on the side and can pick up the AutoZone one listed above and sell for $20 + s/h to make a bit for my time and effort. Email me at jasonedge@nc.rr.com if you wanted to go that route.
Cliff, Rubber the right way or Steele Rubber are good sources. I know Steele Rubber has a very good catalog with illustrations. Be sure and download their catalog. Both are listed on our Parts Suppliers page.
For AC/Heat troubleshooting Cadillac Tim (Tim Groves) puts out an excellent Diagnostics manual. You will also find him listed in the Parts Suppliers page. The $49 for the manual is money well spent. Of course a shop manual is the #1 item you want to have in your hand.
On the choke, the threaded connector, is for the choke tube that goes from choke, to intake choke tube on passenger outside of intake. You should have a hole there that the tube inserts into.
Nothing right now frank. Send me an email to jasonedge@nc.rr.com with year, body style, color preference, and if you need a console and will ad you to my "needs list". I've brought 4 sets in over the years (3 for coupes and 1 for sedans) and they are usually sold by the time I get them (and the mounting brackets) out of the car. D
Marty, Let me know the hotel and days you are staying and will add that to our Roster information at www.2013GN.6364cadillac.com Look forward to seeing you and Tori in Boston!
Hi MIke, Yeah, I think I joined the old MSN site around 2000 when there was less than 100 members, then later created the Multiply hosted site when MSN shut down, then moved the 63/64 site here to the Ning hosted site when MSN shut down last year. We have been like a turtle in that we just pick up and take our house with us when it is time to move on! Good to have you with us!
Hi Rhett, Good to have you back and Happy New Year. I'm glad you like our new website! We've come a long way in a few months thanks to all of our member support from people like yourself! Jason
Kurt, Your width seems about right but it is chopping off the height. When you pull in a picture it sets the width to the actual width...sort of like facebook does with its header. I'm not exactly sure how it determines the height but you can adjust it with custom style sheet (CSS) code. Here is the code I plugged into mine by going to:
Settings, My Page, Appearance, Advances, and plugging this in:
Jason, how do I increase the background picture size for the header on my personal page like you did on yours? I checked every item in the settings and I can't figure it out. Thanks, Kurt

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!
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
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…

Most auto parts stores here stock them but not sure which ones will ship to the UK. AutoZone around the corner from me sells them for $10.49. Here is there link: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1964-Cadillac-Deville/Brake-Hose-Front/_/N-ixdh5Z8knp9?filterByKeyWord=brake++hose&fromString=search

Glad that worked. The page looks great!!
Bingo! That did it. Thanks.
You should have access now. I had to change a setting to allow members access to the advanced CSS features.
I do not have access to Advanced settings.
Kurt, Your width seems about right but it is chopping off the height. When you pull in a picture it sets the width to the actual width...sort of like facebook does with its header. I'm not exactly sure how it determines the height but you can adjust it with custom style sheet (CSS) code. Here is the code I plugged into mine by going to:
Settings, My Page, Appearance, Advances, and plugging this in:
#xg_masthead /*Header*/{margin: auto; display: block;height:425px; width:955px; background-color:transparent ; background-image: url(image_ulr); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center}
It is best to resize your picture to 955 wide (if ou want it full width) then play around with the height. As you see mine is set to 425.
Jason, how do I increase the background picture size for the header on my personal page like you did on yours? I checked every item in the settings and I can't figure it out. Thanks, Kurt
Thanks, You have a good thing going here. I belong to a few car clubs and you are heading in the right direction.
