Convertible bumper jack
My car lacks the mechanism or spring needed to hold the jack in the storage slot on the right side of the trunk. Anyone have a picture of the item I should find?

There should be clips in each end inside the opening as seen in my picture below. If yours are missing I have plenty along with the screws that attach them.

Jason, are the wooden blocks a factory component? Mine also came with the black wood block for the tire block.
It is mega hot here this week. Perhaps repainting my bumper jack is something easy I can accomplish this week......

I believe all Cadillacs of the 60s and 70s came with those black-painted triangular blocks of pine. They did in my 67, 69, and 70 cars. I plan to take the dimensions off those and prepare a block for this 1964 car which is missing the block.

Did they come with one or two wedge blocks ?

One block in each of my cars - except the 64.

63's and 64's had one block.

Thatd be great! I think I have mine kicking around here somewhere. Let me know what the dimensions of yours is. I think mine was split in two it was so dry. Id like to remake mine as well.

Measurements of the block in the trunk of my 69 Cadillac:
Picture a right triangle:
Base = 3 1/2"
Height = 5 3/4"
Hypotenuse = 6 5/8"
The block is 3 1/2" thick, so if looking down on the base, you'd see a 3.5" square.
The block in my 67 Cadillac also is made of pine painted black, but the dimensions are a fraction of an inch different.

Thanks for this timely post. I forgot about the black wooden block that used to be in my trunk. Not sure where it is now. I recently finished a fence project & had a 6" scrap of 4X4 left over so I just made another with the dimensions you provided. I wish all my car projects were this easy.

It looks great, but the animated picture is spectacular. The talent in this group is impressive.

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
