Dave, your door jam switch may have 2 or 3 wires, if 2 they should be black/white and a black wire. A third wire should be red The first thing to try is to put a test light to each end of the light socket to see if you have power (should have power without the key on) If no power, check the body feed fuse. If you have power, pop the door jam switch out and touch the black/white wire to a known ground. Let me know the results.

Hi David,

     Great story about your 1963 Cadillac.  It sounds like a great find.  Good luck!

David, Thanks for the story and history of the car. I knew Kurt and judged the car in 2013 at the Boston Grand National. Kurt was a great guy and Chapter Member. 

Your car, then Kurt's car was featured in our November 2013 Newsletter.  You can check it out by Clicking Here.

We don't like to feature the same car too often but it has been 11 years and it would be great to do a follow-up feature on this car sometime. Anytime you want to submit a store with pictures I would be honored to feature it again.

Late in the evenings, I wonder about things I will probably never do as I am not that crazy. However, I know someone out there has tried it or wanted it bad enough they have done it. My 64 Fltwd did…Continue

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
