Just another quick question:  The driver side front turn signal is not working. When I took it apart, there was no bulb.  I have the correct bulbs, but can't figure out how to get the damn thing in.  I suppose that's why there was no bulb.  There must be some defect in the socket.  Do you know if the electrical connector in the back of the fixture just pulls off?  Any suggestions on how to fix this?  Thanks again!

Thanks for that great explanation!
I think that's going to be something for the winner of the auction to deal with, or not. 
Once I get the brake master cylinder done, I'll be able to drive it more and do that Texas tuneup.  It seemed to run fine at speed, but idles irregularly.  I'll put some Seafood in the gas tank, as the gas is probably pretty old.  Hopefully that will get her running smoothly.
Thanks again!

Well at least Schwinds refunded me first thing Monday Morning.

It took Summit six weeks to realize they could not get it. And that was with me reaching out and questioning them twice in advance.

Hmmmm. So, regarding my generator, is it possible it is a 12V generator since I'm checking 12V with a volt meter? Or, are all generators the same? I'm a lot better with mechanical issues than electrical. These 6V positive ground systems have always baffled me. Does the power from the generator go through the voltage "regulator" to get regulated down to 6V or.... what?

Arthur Gould himself, sold his business and retired as many people do. I think he has since passed away. Never the less, everyone vouches for their quality work, as will I. I went through 4 new fuel pumps on my 60 390 in 12 months of driving. That's about 3 thousand miles. I managed to secure an original A/C core, had Gould rebuild it and had no problems what so ever in the same time and milage. Not even vapor lock.

General Discussion / 1969 Wipers not parking correc...

Last post by Rudolph Nicholson - Today at 04:06:17 AM

Hi members, 

I have a question regarding the parking position of my wipers on my 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
Recently the wiper motor stopped working. I bought a brand-new wiper motor manufactured by Cardone from Rock Auto.

Upon installation we noticed the wipers do not park properly. They stick out above the hood.

When turning the wiper switch on they retract into the parking position below the hood briefly and then start operating normally. When turning the switch off they stop at the bottom of the windshield but does not retract into the park position.

On reactivation of the switch the same process described above repeats itself. At times the wipers park and unparks erratically and then eventually settles into the normal wiping mode. We have tried to adjust them to no avail.

Is there a specific adjustment procedure to follow?


Thank you in advance for any advice

Yes, but Lincolns have a Lincoln badge, whereas Cadillac has a Cadillac badge.

Why would one be comparing Lincolns with Cadillacs when This is a Cadillac, and LaSalle Club.

I know that Henry Leyland went over to Lincoln, and Henry Ford originally ran the pre-Cadillac plant, but that is as far as it goes for us Cadillac aficionados.

I don't suppose the Lincoln Clubs even try to compare their cars to Cadillacs, as they know which are the best, apart for some horrible Cadillacs that were produced, and we all know which ones they were.
