Another film that was new to me. Nice Eldo scene. Thanks for posting Phil. Clay/Lexi

It's featured a few times from that point on, beautiful 56 Eldorado Biarritz, but it sounds like a bag of spanners (wrenches) being rattled around🤣

General Discussion / Re: Sauls Autotek?

Last post by 71 Fleetwood - June 26, 2025, 05:22:50 PM

...a year later.  A lot of life happened after my last post in May 2024.  All is good now.

I sent the car to Saul's Autotek this week.  The plan is to install a Holley Sniper2 fuel injection with all of the associated fuel line, fuel pump, HEI distributor, ignition and coil.  I'm wondering about adding an electric fan since EFI seems to prefer cool and Cadillac preferred warm under the hood.

Hopefully, the car will forgive me for clutzing through the mechanical fuel pumps and Quadrajet and embrace the new system.

Good advice. I installed a mechanical temperature gage in my Cadillac, and wired it to my headlight switch so the dial is lit when the lights are turned on. I always want to know what is going on inside my engine when out on the road. Clay/Lexi

Go down the the seventh post for a fairly short history of the company. Continue down several more posts to contributor "Guest Oracle" for a much longer discussion.  Northway, quite a history.

General Discussion / Re: Carpet dyes

Last post by dn010 - June 26, 2025, 09:34:46 AM

Meanwhile, I've used Detail King liquid carpet dye on all my vehicles that have required it. They make a spray dye too but I like the liquid method. I prefer to take the carpet out, power wash them down to get rid of all the dirt and debris in them and then apply the dye once they're dry. I have had no issues and have been using their product for about 10 years now I believe.         To each their own.

My bad! I had the maps blown up too far that they eliminated the western parking area. I was looking for detail, not a aerial style view. Mainly because I wanted to see what type of eating establishments were within a short walk of the hotel.

That is a huge lot with what appears to be a 200+ space accommodation. I hope it can be filled with Cadillacs.

I suspect that you ignored my post from last September. The accumulation of rust and gunk IN THE COOLING passages and engine's water jackets is a slow moving time bomb for your rebuilt engine. Over 5 decades, This material clogs radiator passages and well as the head gasket and causes the engine to overheat in critical areas.   

 Use a laser thermometer (if it's a good one... most of the cheap ones are less than worthless junk).   Install a temp gauge in your engine compartment.  NEVER trust the idiot lights...(cautionary tale) on a hot sunny day on route 95 in Florida following a complete engine and cooling system rebuild, I couldn't see the idiot light "glowing"--- radiator blew out and engine head gasket failed. While taking out the blown radiator,we discovered a bunch of gunk blocking the NEW radiator passages-- coolant  couldn't pass through the radiator--- so consider a serious back flush and an installation of a cooling system filter.All good insurance for an old engine that could have a pile of accumulated muck in the engine's water jacket.
