Uniroyal Tire Brown Discoloration

Hi all,I'm glad I read Jason's recap of last nights Zoom call. I had the same problem with a set I bought for my 63 SDV. The white never got better than a pale yellow and would turn brown with in 5 minutes.I called the cs number and got a rep named Dean Hawkins. His info is below. He hadn't had any complaints (so far) with that batch but offered to upgrade me to a BF Goodrich Silver Town. Turns out the entire batch was defective.He sent the new tires with only my word I'd send the originals…See More

1964 TH400 Torque Converter?

Hey guys! I’m back with another question lol. I noticed some vibration under acceleration while not moving that I suspect may be coming from the torque converter, so I’m looking to replace it while I have my engine out. Seems like a good idea, but I’m having trouble locating a new or rebuilt converter. I found this one below (link) at AutoZone that says it fits my 1964 Cadillac Deville (429 engine w/TH400 trans) however while reading the description it states for flat top bell housing, but my…See More

Steering slack/play

I checked the Help page and did a search on the site but didn't see any subjects on steering play/slack.  Since I had someone complete a front end rebuild (Kanter kit, all the control arm bushings, tie rods, sway bar, ball joints, everything) on my 64 deville conv,  there is quite a bit of play in the steering.  At times it's hard to keep the car straight going down the highway.  When it starts drifting and you go to correct, it almost overcorrects and gets scary weaving back and forth trying…See More

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…
