At the moment I have two problems with my 66s Catalina. However, since they are quite different, I start extra threads. As can be seen on the first picture, my gap between the bonnet and the fender is equal to zero. Unfortunately, this caused the paint to suffer. On the other hand, the gap is small, but present. So I solved the screws marked on the second picture and tried to make sure that I can put the fender on the outside. r does not work. After that, I used a protective disc between the bonnet suspension and the fender (see picture 3) (please don’t stone me for it), but it didn’t work either. How can I increase the gap! Maybe that’s no problem for the others here, but since I have hardly any screwdriver experience, I just thought I was asking. Somehow you have to get to the topic.

In the summer I bought and imported a 1970s cadillac DeVille Convertible from Los Angeles. After he was finally here in the fall, I had the opportunity to drive around a bit on short-term marks. Among other things also at my brother’s wedding. Now everything is ready, that he can for the H-mark by the Baurat. Everything is in a quite good condition, also the cover is brand new, but what I was a bit surprised then was the consumption of fa 40 liters ( ok almost only short distance ) ! Is a standard 472 in it. I would be interested in a few experiences, what such a big block normally consumes and how the consumption can be optimized. Have in winter enough time. e.g. the installation of a noble brock or Hollyvergaser brings something or similar ? With a photo of my Caddi, have not much more. Inside he has leather red. Thank you already for your experiences Gruss Bjoern from HH

Hello guys, I have a question: Every time I start my car a welcome of the Cadillac SLS appears in the field below the ads in which among other things the error codes etc. can be seen. Is it possible to change this greeting? In my case it only shows “driver 2”, in French. (The car comes from Luxembourg) Under the position 1 is “Bonjour, M. Rettel” to read that I would also leave it that way, but under Pos. 2 I would like to change the text….know someone Greetings, Mario.

Hello together. I’ve been passively reading here in the forum for some time, since I’m thinking about getting an STS or TC. Just nice cars…. I’m 43 and I’m from the Koblenz area. I like car from the 80/90s, where cars were still designed. I’ve had an 89s Supra (MKIII) as a hoppy car for 11 years. But there’s a lot of work going on in the near future and it’s no longer an everyday car anyway. Since I’ve always found the STS/TC ́s class, this is the commonplace for me now. I have a few questions about the Cadillac. Hope you can help me. With the problems with the cylinder head screws: Does this affect all Northstar V8 engines ? Are there years of construction where this occurs particularly strongly, or are the chances always equally bad. Is this such a bad thing that you should plan this repair directly when buying? Why does the 93 STS 305 hp and the 93 TC 294 hp for example? Are there not the same engine? Is it possible to convert these engines to gas? Basically, I tended to go to the Eldorado Touring Coupé. Is there something special to consider when buying? I will probably do a test drive on the weekend, so it would be nice if you could give me some more tips on what I should pay special attention to. I know what I do: If I sit in it I probably fall in love with myself and then I have stress again with my wife. Thank you. Greetings Pit

Hello, in the Fehrnsehen you can see more open how to install brand new engines when tuning. Does anyone know where to get a 327 small block? I would like to spare the original engine of my Iso Rivolta.

Hello, I have big problems with the brakes of my ́95 Cadillac… The brakes of the vehicle were slowly getting worse, so that I commissioned a workshop to install new brake pads in May d.J. After that the braking effect would be even worse and from about 80 km/h a loud howling noise was perceived in the right front part. The workshop then again took apart the entire front brake system, cleaned and assembled, as well as a brake fluid Nothing, still very bad braking effect, which expresses itself as follows: You can push the brake pedal slowly and very strongly through to the bottom sheet with the running motor. Also, if you step into the brake quickly and vigorously, you get the tires not to block (or the ABS does not start at all). Speak… fucking brakes. Then the wheel bearing was changed to eliminate the howling noise in vain and the main brake cylinder was renewed. h all brake hoses and pipes. Again no improvement, rather worse. Now I put the car in a Cadillac workshop and it was then found that the ABS pressure control unit is defective, it was replaced and again nothing… So one has the assumption that the new main brake cylinder was installed defective/wrong and this was replaced again by a new one and… again nothing. After 4 months of workshop stay I was suggested that possibly a I have brought my Cadillac back home because I think that the brake booster has nothing to do with the braking effect, but only with the braking force in the pedal. I am now a little bit at the end with my Latin and have ordered from the USA. Brake pads to do anything at all… Someone of you professionals an idea ? Greeting Frank

Hello dear US fans. I have long been indisputable which pliers and plugs or connectors provide for a no longer solving connection. Maybe here is someone who is super familiar with it and can help me please. It is about plugs for plug connections in the engine compartment and for places such as doors or driver seat with seat adjustment where a no longer solving connection has to be created. Since I have to bring it to the saddler and it should hold. Cable cross section I have to look case There are also many plug connections that have become old and no longer keep them right. Engine space must be equipped with new sensor cables with cable shoes. Here a provisional example of luscious clamps were for testing. The car garage of the previous owner built crap and all really all connections have dissolved again. Even solder connectors that have never been soldered. Finding a good plier is very difficult in the huge offer because I am not an electrician. Please don’t be surprised Stec ker with other colors of other model. Works so
