"Dave,
Great work and Pat hit it on the nose!!! Glad to hear it worked out well!
Dennis DiBari"
Gump(Pat Westphal) you’re a gosh darn genius!
So I have been having problems with my brake lights. At first I thought it was both sides and turns out it is only the drivers side. Also, I thought the blinker worked and it didn’t and turned out that the back up light worked before I started this journey. I was trying to get the plug out from under the license plate and probably unknowingly partial removed it! Then on Sunday’s zoom meeting Pat recommended pulling the plug by the plate. Of course I zeroed in on the bulb and sweated over…See More
"Hi Phil,
Marty Smith from Utah told me of this product and it is the last step in the cleaning process. It is coming in the mail very soon to enhance the initial cleaning. Your grill looks amazing and you did a lot of…"
"Hi Dennis I’ve been using Autosol for years it is a fantastic product glad to see you have discovered it
i have finally finished removing the silver frost paint now it’s on to the polishing with the Autosol"
"Hi Nile,
You are welcome! Remember, if you adjust the steering box, no more than 1/8th to 1/4 turn clockwise. The rag joint play is primarily important. Best of luck with it!!

"Hi Members,
Just some information on what I used to clean the grill on my 64 Series 62. From Amazon, I used AL NEW Anodized Aluminum Cleaner (16 oz.)., 6 piece hole cleaning brushes bore nylon bristles for the drill, and…"
"Thank you Jason. If I come across another installation instructions, I will make a copy and send it to you.

Uniroyal Tire Brown Discoloration
Hi all,I'm glad I read Jason's recap of last nights Zoom call. I had the same problem with a set I bought for my 63 SDV. The white never got better than a pale yellow and would turn brown with in 5 minutes.I called the cs number and got a rep named Dean Hawkins. His info is below. He hadn't had any complaints (so far) with that batch but offered to upgrade me to a BF Goodrich Silver Town. Turns out the entire batch was defective.He sent the new tires with only my word I'd send the originals…See More
"I had to redo my reply as the link did not work the first time I clicked on it. I do not have the cruise control installation document and have never seen it as I recall but looks like it would be an excellent reference. Looks like this one is…"
"Michael, I have new seat belt springs that you would install. Please email me at russ@thecadishack.com "
"Hi Jason, Do you have a copy of the installation instructions for the ‘64 cruise control? See here. https://ebay.us/m/NDgeKT
Also, my drivers side seat belt is no longer retracting. Do you have any suggestions to repair or rebuild. Thank…"
"Hi Nile,
One more thought on the play in the steering. Did you test/inspect you Rag Joint? That can cause a lot of play in the steering as well. I forgot to mention it with my first rejoinder. Look at this…"
1964 TH400 Torque Converter?
Hey guys! I’m back with another question lol. I noticed some vibration under acceleration while not moving that I suspect may be coming from the torque converter, so I’m looking to replace it while I have my engine out. Seems like a good idea, but I’m having trouble locating a new or rebuilt converter. I found this one below (link) at AutoZone that says it fits my 1964 Cadillac Deville (429 engine w/TH400 trans) however while reading the description it states for flat top bell housing, but my…See More
"Hi Nile,
After all that front end work, there is an adjustment on the steering box, but it shouldn't be overdone. On top of the box there is an allen key hole, set inside a nut. You can see this looking over the…"
Steering slack/play
I checked the Help page and did a search on the site but didn't see any subjects on steering play/slack. Since I had someone complete a front end rebuild (Kanter kit, all the control arm bushings, tie rods, sway bar, ball joints, everything) on my 64 deville conv, there is quite a bit of play in the steering. At times it's hard to keep the car straight going down the highway. When it starts drifting and you go to correct, it almost overcorrects and gets scary weaving back and forth trying…See More
"Hi Phil,
Thank you for posting the picture of the PS filter. I never saw one of these and I truly like the idea. By the way, my wife sometimes makes the same whining noise!!!!

"Hi Dennis

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…
