I put a used fuel pump from my 59 Caddy on my 50 Caddy, no vacuum provision at all. Fits and works fine. Edit: Rock Auto has them : Airtex #713...
This is what the seal with carrier looks like in my 50. Your 59 could use this design or the single large seal. Curly
There are 2 versions of the seal. My 1950 Cad uses CR 18671 seal inside a seal carrier. You remove the seal carrier from the front and then the...
I used an 81 Camaro front end. I didn't do the install, someone else did. Fit fine. Attached are 2 pics, right after the subframe was...
Thanks BigGeorge. I thought it was a 1915-20 model era due to the wood in the A pillars, etc. Dashboard shape is a match for 1930 Curly
I primed my 59 390 engine with a cut off screwdriver shaft and my drill. I had oil psi come up almost right away and oil to the rocker shafts in...
TX-- See my reply on the CLC message board. Curly
At a mine in the Aguila, Az area. Curly
Found this old Buick sitting near a mine in AZ. Obviously used to power the mine winch. Data plate is gone. Can anyone Id the year? Curly
That is a Plymouth, 1950 IIRC. My dad had one like it. Sorry I missed this, I would have enjoyed meeting you guys. I live close by. Another way...
I used an '81 Camaro clip. Fit was almost perfect. The point where the parts were joined is all but seamless. Had to cut a coil off each spring...
I did just about everything on this list to my 59 1/2 ton. It rides better but it is still a rough ride. Best thing I did was polyliner on the...
Check with these guys, I got a quote for $80 to rebuild my fuel pump on my 59 Cad. It would also be alcohol resistant....
Saw these in Cordes today, on the way to Crown King. Curly
I have a 59 390 that came with an AFB. I rebuilt the engine and decided to go with a new carb. I bought a Edlebrock 1406, it bolted right on. No...
You need to put your hand behind the dash, touching the headlight switch. On the side opposite the wires you will feel a small spring loaded...
Combustion Dynamics in Cottonwood. Jay builds race engines for a living. On Aspen just east of the Fire house. Curly
I have been working on my 41 Cadillac street rod and I am at the point that I want to do the interior. The car is a 2 door fastback (6127d). I...
I just had my 390 rebuilt last year. .040 over on the pistons, stainless steel valves, rod and mains/Std size. I reused the cam and lifters...
I've had my 59 Caddy for 25+ years now, so I have lots of stories. :D My 2 favorites: I lived in Yuma, Az. I took the family for a night time...
I recently put an Edelbrock #1406 on my 59 Cad 390. I was replacing a Carter AFB. Fit and works fine. Curly
Nice. I recently bought a rural home with a hay barn to store my cars. I've been keeping busy fixing it up. Floors, insulation, paint, etc. Maybe...
I just replaced mine (with a/c), found it on Ebay, they also had non a/c kits. Curly
I'm going to disagree with the majority here. I've owned a 59 Fleetwood for 25 years. The 59s fall into 2 categories, love them or hate them....
I like them all up to about 1970, after that--meh. My 59 Fleetwood at my Son's wedding. Curly
Since you live in AZ, you have a lot better choices than that. I'm also in AZ, own a 59 Shortbox. I bought it here, it has some rust, but nothing...
I was mistaken (First time :D), the M does indicate Fleetwood. K indicates a base sedan (6 window) I was thinking of the engine serial number not...
Are you familiar with iATN.net? Use their shop locator. Edit- A quick look shows nothing closer to Globe than 40 miles. Curly
Modern Air cleaners are 4.25 IIRC, so nothing new fits. I solved the problem by installing an Edelbrock 1406. Virtually identical to the original...
Cadillacs of that era were defined by the style number, located on the tag under the hood, right in front of the w/s wiper arm. The number...
