Please accept my deepest sympathies. She reminds me of my loving,selfless wife.
Great find! What a deal!...I mean, what a steal! BTW, I'd be glad to swap places with you...winters are way too long up here,lmao!:D
I've always wondered why Cadillac designed their engines throughout the '50s, with the fuel pump on top of the engine...Bad design, if you ask me...
Here's mine. A 1968 Serro Scotty Hilander which I picked up recently. [IMG]
I have the same problem with my American Classics. I discovered, in my case anyway, that the whitewall overlaps onto the bead area which meets the...
I inherited a 1968 Plymouth Fury 4 door back in '79.
Congrats on the awesome find!!
Wow! Glad you're okay. Thanks to my wife's paranoid fear of me getting crushed under my car, I've developped the habit of securing jackstands,...
Thanks guys! I changed the location of the pump. Now it's on the frame, in front of the rear axle. They recommend it to be installed within 2-3 ft...
Wow! Cool pics!...I sure miss not going this year...
I think I found the tires for my '56 Cadillac. They're Diamondback 700R15's. They have a bias-ply look to them. I'll be picking those up next...
Wow...that sucks big time to get scammed like that! Go get him, LONO! I've been scammed once through ebay. The guy sent me a cheque. I waited...
Are you talking about the high performance pump? Won't I need a regulator with this type?
You're probably right. I put one of those plastic transparent type filters with a paper element.
Yeah thanks! I'm starting to think I may have to do this because there is absolutely NO place to put the pump below the tank. The tank is strapped...
No room. Engine pump opening is too close to the frame.
I'll look into it. I'm not sure, but I think the wire which joins the pump and the dash is 16ga. I think I should use 14? The first pump that...
Should I use a pusher? I heard the Holley 97 gph "red" was a good one... http://www.holley.com/12-801-1.asp
Because there is no room to put one. The way the frame is made, the pump side is way too close to have a pump, and cutting the frame is not an option.
The pump is located above the front of the tank, behind the left side of the diff. I think it's a puller. Bought it at SoCal.
Nice pics! Obviously, because of the embargo, they had to improvise. Lots of these cars now run on 4 cyl. engines. There's a local salvage yard...
Hi all, I have a li'l dillema here. My 56 Cadillac has a 350 with an Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. on it. The problem is I went through two electric...
He went through the windshield and was laying over the engine. Not a pretty sight...
This is the same car wreck found in Mel Kilpatrick's photographic book "Car crashes and other sad stories". Interesting to see in a different...
I have American Classics on my '56. Total waste of money! My car shakes, rattles and shimmies all over the place! Two of the tires have the...
I tried once to run old tires...lost a 6 inch long strip of tread on a busy highway! I was lucky the tire didn't blow out! After this incident...I...
You do not need the original voltage regulator. The alternator has one inside. I have mine set-up with a recent one-wire Delco alternator.
Cool video of an amazing decade! Now, if I can find a time machine....
Did you change your rad cap for a 12lb? 7lbs. is too weak for this car.
