Hot Rods Look what I got.. :) Now anyone have a wiring diagram?

So I picked up a 1939 Cadillac LaSalle Opera Coupe-- everything there.. Owner thought the CaddyFlatty was stuck..(PS. --> it wasn't) So now I need to find me a wiring diagram so I can go through everything..

Anyone have one and if you have something close ('37-40) maybe that will work.. Flaven, cough it up.. I know you have a diagram somewhere..

 

Can't help you with a diagram but I would think with a few minor exceptions it should be the same as any GM from that time frame. I could be completely wrong, of course!

Done right that would make a gorgeous taildragger. Nice score. Get that flatty purring again!

 

Can't help with the wiring diagram,but WOW what a cool score.

 

Try "AllCADS.Com" or CARS, Inc.

 

Wow slick ride and great score

 

I might have the wiring info for a 40 Cadillac Model 62. I'll check when I get back home today. Is the wiring mouse-chewed, or otherwise jacked up?

 

Bad ass custom
In the making. Great score. Good for you.

 

This year Cad and Buick had overheating issues due to narrow grill, so be aware. Add a fan shroud at least.

 

Nice work!

 

Thank you for this.. Very good to know and makes sense.

 

THANK YOU.. Actually no which is surprising.. all cloth wire is in in tact.. I just want to match everything up to make sure noone in the past started swapping wires around.

 

Thanks bud.. I passed out when the owner accepted my offer.. Best $700 I ever spent..

 

Damn, nice score. Is the interior as nice as the outside?

 

You've got to be shitting me!! Holy crap!

 

Whoa, a $700 car with an umpteenhundred dollar grille.
well played.

 

Gee whiz!.....$700.....that is quite a sweet deal indeed....I like it!

 

how do you sleep at nite?

 

That is so cool!!!. That is 100 dollars less than I paid for my '64 GTO !And that was over 40 years ago !

 

You got ripped off, but I will help you out and give you the $700.00 and pay for the shipping to my place. Glad to help out.

 

Not a bad deal even with the rusty headlights, best of luck with the wires. Bob

 

I do have a reproduction shop manual for a 1940 Cadillac which includes 8 pages of electrical info and schematic. Some of the manuals available online are the same for 39 through 41, so the wiring must be quite unchanged those years. I can scan the 8 pages of electrical stuff, or if you want the manual I'd sell it. 79 total pages. The one like I have is selling on the interwebs for $79, I'd let it go for 1/4 of that price.

 

Naa-- its not wasted but the door fabric is crap.. seat is in good shape and the jump seats are pretty decent

 

That's really nice of you. I would be interested in buying it. Does it come with caddy flathead information?

 

Yes, engine, trans, suspension, the whole kielbasa. Shop manuals were a lot smaller back when there were no electronic ignition, EFI, and automatic climate control. I sent a PM to you with info.

 

Check your conversations, I sent you a note to get in touch with you.

 

Very cool machine!

 

Very nice deal you got there. Good luck with it.

 

FWIW, the LaSalle was a stand alone make. They are not Cadillac LaSalles, just LaSalles. There were no Ford Mercurys or Ford Edsels

 

I had something constructive to add until you said you scored that thing for $700, now all I have to say is f u
