More Rear Main Seal Questions
The rear main seal on my 1964 Deville was replace about a year ago with the Best Branded one from Caddy Daddy. Leaks were immediate and my mechanic was concerned about the gasket from the start. Knowing what I know now, does anyone know where to source a Rebuilder's Choice seal or possibly even a factory style rope seal? The transmission will be coming out anyways. Also, I will check the rear main bearing cap for the needed modification. ThanksSee More

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…
