Dave, your door jam switch may have 2 or 3 wires, if 2 they should be black/white and a black wire. A third wire should be red The first thing to try is to put a test light to each end of the light socket to see if you have power (should have power without the key on) If no power, check the body feed fuse. If you have power, pop the door jam switch out and touch the black/white wire to a known ground. Let me know the results.

Hi David,

     Great story about your 1963 Cadillac.  It sounds like a great find.  Good luck!

David, Thanks for the story and history of the car. I knew Kurt and judged the car in 2013 at the Boston Grand National. Kurt was a great guy and Chapter Member. 

Your car, then Kurt's car was featured in our November 2013 Newsletter.  You can check it out by Clicking Here.

We don't like to feature the same car too often but it has been 11 years and it would be great to do a follow-up feature on this car sometime. Anytime you want to submit a store with pictures I would be honored to feature it again.

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
