There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

Where is the a/c evaporator box drain

I can't spot the traditional evaporator box drain tube on my '64 Deville. I don't like how the water runs down the body line. Is there an integrated drain tube? If not, has anybody added…Continue

Dipstick seal
There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not enough let of mine to tell what it looked like, does anyone know a source for this part? Maybe it's not even original...
"Thanks Jason, will give that a try. I think it's mostly water spots and road grime. "
"I've had good luck with 0000 steel wool and WD 40. It is tedious and time-consuming but can remove the oxidation. Just be careful not to go past the anodized shiny layer. I have some buffing bits I had wanted to use but have never gotten away…"

"Yes I saw his post. Pretty sure shipping of a trans would be a deal breaker and as I stated in my post I already have a trusted rebuilder. It's a turbo 400 so shouldn't be too complex lol."

Time for transmission repair, any suggestions?
My '64 CDV is starting to have torque converter issues. I'm going to pull the trans and send it to a shop I trust. Even thought I don't have any trans issues (except for a leak at the modulator) I'm going to ask them to give the trans a freshening up. Any tips or upgrades you can suggest while they've got it? I'm going to have them keep it stock, no shift kits, etc. While it's out I'll be changing the rear main and oil pan gasket so tips on that are appreciated to!See More
"There is a drain in the back of evaporator case with small rubber hose held on by Corbin Clamp. See below:"
"It appears that it just drains around the evaporator inlet pipe around the bottom of the evaporator housing? Wonder if it would work to carefully a hole in the housing and install a drain tube down?"
"Wow...this is vague? "Do I really have to remove the dash pad to access the back of the instrument panel?"
If you think that's vague you must be a hoot at charades!"
"Tosh, In addition to Kurt's spot on reply regarding the pins on the 2 legs check out our Help Page article on removing the dash pad at https://6364cadillac.ning.com/profiles/blogs/dashpadremoval
In terms of not damaging anything here is a…"

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC

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
