I am looking to replace my battery for 64 DeVille. Any suggestions on the type and where to purchase?

Check out Menards they have the big AC deacons batteries with top posts , check your dimensions of your old battery and the placement of the + & - posts and figure out if your hold down will work . Good luck

You have a few choices. You can go all out and purchase a original style replica per this article from the Help topics tab in the header above: https://6364cadillac.ning.com/profiles/blogs/original-battery-and-c...
Personally I bought a group 24 Duracell battery from Batteries Plus Bulbs and have been happy with it, It is close to the size of the original battery, just slightly narrower - group 24:(10.25 x 6.8125 x 8.875) vs group 60: (13 1/16 x 6 5/16 x 8 7/8). It still fits nicely in the original battery tray. I did put some plastic strips along the right & left sides of the tray to take up the extra space. I also peeled off all the labels and dressed it up with some 3-D printed battery caps and a Delco label.
John, I just noticed you said your car is a 64. The battery hold-down was changed in 64 to go across the 13 1/6" length of the battery unlike my 63 where it goes front to back across 6 5/16" (6.8125"on group 24). As far a I can find now the group 60 replica is no longer produced. Unless you can find a similar sized battery, you will have to use a different hold-down. I'm sure some 64 guys will chime in with their solutions

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
