Did not know.Just had engine reworked and I completely redid brakes. Engine back in and running, brakes still like rock. Mechanic only getting about 12-15psi I beleive he said. He is not sure what to do other than add electric booster pump, going to test booster in morningAny suggestions before summer ends in OhioSee More

"Hi Sean, Welcome to the 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter & Website. Be sure to tell us about your 1963 Coupe de Ville when you get a chance. Jason. "
"Yes, that is at least part of the California closed ventilation system used on 1964 Cadillacs starting with VIN #057000. The other part was an orange painted non-vented oil filler cap. This car has a black cap so it could be a non-vented cap painted…"

Fuel Supply System - Check Points Beyond the Fuel Pump
Incredibly, in 3 days I have had 3 people ask about replacing their fuel pump or even adding an electric fuel pump because there carb is not getting gas. It has gotten to the point I have copied and pasted the general responses seen below and thought it is worth sharing. One of the comments I have made is if you have not confirmed these other problem areas and instead just resolve to replace the fuel pump or add/replace with an electric fuel pump it could be like adding an electric fan to a…See More

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,

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…
