Does anyone know what engines Cadillac has been using in recent years?  I sort of tried some searching and could not really figure it out.  I'm assuming this guy has torn some down they just didn't happen to come out of Cadillacs.   I'm just curious if they are using any of the really crazy complex engines.

Watching these videos is making me think the 4100 was a pretty good and simple engine. Simple at least.

When I rejoined some 8 years ago or so, had been a non-member for a bit before, I was also a member in the mid-70s for one year. The Books said my old number was from a period of a year or so where it was no longer available. No records they said. Clay/Lexi

General Discussion / Re: Wiring

Last post by TJ Hopland - Yesterday at 11:38:07 PM

The 368 isn't as well known as the 472/500/425 when it comes to swaps but I would expect the holes in the engine block to be the same so you should be able to swap the whole bracket off the 77 engine.

I'm not sure what wire you are talking about related to the air compressor, gonna need some more info on that one.  Is this a wire that car has but the new engine doesn't?  Or the other way around the new engine has something that there isn't a place to plug into your car?

From what I understand, previous Members retained their original Membership Number when they rejoined, but now that Cornerstone has taken over, maybe they were not made aware of this.

Would be nice to retain your old number.   I remember adding that number to your Profile.

Not sure what to advise, but whatever you do, do not be tempted by Armorall as the product and vinyl do not go well together.

Great for selling a car, but not for keeping it as in a short time, cracks will appear.   Car yards love it, but they are not keeping the cars.

Using it will give you a "greasy" surface which will attract dust, plus every time you touch it, you will end up with sticky fingers.   Good for brightening up tyres, but tyres get replaced regularly.

Good evening now that install my 368 in my 77 deville but the mounts are in the original spot but one side will bolt up and the other side are a little up and are on the rubber of the mount. I did the other side first and it's doing the same thing. I'm lost and need help figuring it out. Thanks.

Thanks,

It's nice to have another prewar Cadillac produced car, this time a made car that needs nothing but a little make work tinkering and detailing. In what seems like in a time long ago I restored two, a '41 coupe, '67 Deville convertible and the  major cosmetic resto of a '40 Sixty Special. I received a lot of help from club members while doing so. 

My wife and I both drive low mileage Cadillacs form the early two thousands, a 2001 DeVille and a 2002 Eldo, both with coach tops. 

Navigating the Byzantine world of the Clubs' security protocols is interesting. My credit union and credit card companies don't have as draconian security protocols as the CLCs.'

However I will be watching to see how seamless the transition to "members only contributions'' to the forums on the site will be. 

I can wait for next months' issue to become available. It's not that big a deal in spite of the time I spent posting and answering posts.

regards,
