"Thanks to you both, Logan and Dennis.  I didn’t look in the repair manual. The owners manual didn’t specify.  I think it’s low since I had the front cover work was done as I don’t see a leak.  "

seat foam replacement

does anyone out there have any experience with seat foam replacement on  a 63/64 Cadillac.  I had my seats reupolstered  many years ago in original leather/fabric and they still look great, but the foam/padding underneath has degradated and compressed to the point the seats look misshapend and are not real supportive when sitting on them.  I have looked around for replacement foam and padding specific to my 64CDV but does not appear that anyone manufactures anything.  Does anyone have…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…
