64’ A/C Power Servo - Vacuum Actuator
Gents, good morning!I’m looking for advice on how to fix the A/C Power Servo on my 1964 Cadillac Deville. The unit itself seems to be working correctly, but the vacuum actuator is leaking off. Has anyone had luck finding/replacing just the vacuum actuator or is there a way to repair the original one that’s leaking? I’m referring to the large black & silver vacuum actuator, not the 7 port valve.I would be interested in purchasing a good used unit too if the price is fair.Thx - JacobSee More

Rocker arm assembly removal?
Hi Guys,I'm working to replace all the rocker arms on my 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville. Driver’s side is no problem, but the passenger side is proving to be more challenging. The issue is removing the back rocker arm assembly bolt, it’s hitting the blower motor housing and there’s not enough clearance to get it removed. There’s not much mention in the service manual other than to ensure that the rocker assembly and bolt are installed when the engine head is installed. I am not planning to remove…See More
"Hi Brandon,
I don’t have much experience with steering column repairs, but you might consider replacing it with a good used assembly considering the theft damage that it sustained. Russ Austin or Jason might have a good used column available…"

Glad the torque converter worked on your Caddy - great news. When I did the complete overhaul of my brake system last year, I found a great rebuilder who rebuilt my original Delco booster. It turned out…"
Brake booster for sale?
Hey Guys, I’m searching for a reasonably priced replacement brake booster for my 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville. I believe it’s a Delco. I found a few rebuilt options on eBay, but the cost is prohibitive. Been continuing to search. Do you fine gents have any supplier’s that you could recommend?
"FYI guys - this torque works! Just thought that I’d share the feedback in case anyone else comes across this issue. The new torque converter does have 6 lugs, whereas the original only had 3…spoke with the rebuilder and they confirmed…"

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…
