Wanted - Armrests for a 63 Series 62 Coupe
The body shop lost my armrests! I need the driver's side and passenger side. The ISSUE is my 63 did not come with power windows It has manual crank windows so the armrests are not setup for switches. I need them in Black/White but if you have the pair in another color - well I will need to have an uphostery shop resolve for me.ThanksJ. Raul RamirezSee More

"Hi Rick,
If your present intake manifold is slightly cracked/leaking, the replacement manifold you buy will probably have an internal choke tube (about 10 inches long) that is clogged/corroded. Ask about that internal…"

"The choke tube is not associated with intake vacuum. If it is, there is a crack in the intake allowing that to happen. The choke tube runs through the exh passage so the fresh air being drawn in is heated for the choke assembly. "
Dino Diaries - August 19, 2025 - More Under Carriage Bling!
If you follow my Classic Cadillac Parts Page you have already seen this a couple days ago but thought I would share here as it continues the replacement of tired, crusty hardware on "Dino" with freshly plated Cadillac Gold! This involved replacing the Park Brake Hardware under the car. This is one of those sets I really wanted to get replaced before I take Dino off the 12" wheel cribs. It is actually a very easy set to replace. I left the top lock adjustment nut on the J bolt as a guide to…See More

"My sedan has an aftermarket booster and master cylinder. The brake pedal is rock hard as in there is no swish in the pedal before there is braking, or another way to say it is there is no pedal drop before I have brakes being applied. "

"Does anyone have a ‘64 cruise control speed selector? The plastic mount for the selector cable is broken on the one I have, so the cable cannot connect. "
"I’m puzzled by your reply 🤔. You stated aftermarket will be rock hard and same time one on your sedan and works great???"
"I will check on that Monday, the hose is new I know. Will check size and type "
"How is the vacuum hose I wrote you about?

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
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…
