Me too, having to work on a Cadillac is just plain wrong!

 

yeppers.

 

hey..c'mon...that's been my sweet ride all this while....i have to pet it every now and then so it doesn't bite me.

 

When they bite they leave big marks!!! I know my lincoln leaves big marks..

 

try working on a BMW

 

YES!!!!!! Had a Euro-Model 79(I think) 320i EFi that was A TOTAL BEEEEOTCH TO WORK ON!

Also had a 77 Fleetwood Caddy, .....LOVED that car, ...455Ci V8, Black w/Black interior.....YOU PIMP THAT RIDE, JERRY, don't sweat it! lol.

REALLLLLLLLLLY sorry you're dealing with this. I CAN RELATE! Sucks having everything ready to go and then, you realize, it's just more of "HURRY UP AND WAIT!" ...hate it!

Wish I was close by, I'd gladly stop by and lend a hand....not too bad with Brakes

 

in other news....i got a "new" used tire for $30 mounted......car is off the jack and ready to ride.

yeah...i'm sure it's a matter of "how to replace rear brakes" and then I will be able to unhook all that e-brake stuff.....but, ya' know.......grrrrrr

 

You can do it Jerry!

 

Some of the head bolts go threw oil passages in the motor. THis is what I was told when Engnbldr said not to use too much anti-seize on the head bolts when putting them in because the anti-seize can block the oil passages.

 

i kinda figured a much because of the amount of oil in the holes.....alot ore than presumed seepage around the bolts. i remember those bolts being a mess and a beyotch to get out .

 

I'M SURE there will possibly be mild beating of me for this.......but do you know anyone at a Brake Specialist Shop that could just get that part freed for ya? ........Better yet, is XXTREME stopping buy next Thursday? lol

Said a prayer for ya, Jerry....GET EM!

 

PS> I found a pile where the pictures of my 77 Fleetwood are, ......gotta dig em out and scan em for ya! THAT THING WAS FLY! lol

 

Some of the head bolt holes serve as the oil passages to the head. My understanding is that you should only put motor oil, not anti-seize, on the head bolt threads when installing them. That's what I did.

 

What I miss?

 

the engine fell out
















































kidding...i kid....i'm a kidder...

 

i can't pass inspection because my E-brake is stuck in the (luckily) disengaged position. other than that, not too much.

i ate alot of food at a christening lunch about an hour ago.......did ya every see a boa constrictor eat a sheep?.....yeh...kinda feel like that.

 

Do this

So I could



and this



and this



and this and this and this

(could anyone tell me what that's from ???)

Anyway......

Yes I will be able to make it on thursday, unless he want's me to stop by today.

Can't be too late though, since I got a UFC fight to watch tonight.

 

Oh Jerry, I think I have an antenna and mount and wire for ya too for yur new radio. Hooking up dual antennas, but the little bit of rain put a hamper on me for a bit, hopefully it won't last long.

 

it's raining....leaving in one hour to help a nice lady out from work whose grass is about 2 feet high....so today is out.

thursday is cool....

and no i have no clue what the "and this and this and this" is from.

and you reminded me, i meant to go digging in my mom's basement while i was 5 blocks away from it 2 hrs ago to look through my dad's stuff......ten bucks says he has multiple antennas from years ago (he's dead now, so no joking please)

 

You got a garage, rain shouldn't stop ya, hahaha

And let me know, cus I might have that 102" whip for ya. the mount is less than 2 months old. Same with the antenna, and well, you saw it.
