I can't decide whether I want one of these or a 1966 DeVille Convertible. I live in the UK though so I'd have to import either way
@EldoradoGeorgeАй бұрын
The 66 Cadillac is available in both DeVille and Eldorado whereby both are configured with the 429ci engine, by comparison the 68 has the 472ci engine which is generally considered to be a vastly superior engine. Kind Regards George
@elementalb3m957Ай бұрын
@EldoradoGeorge Thanks George I hadn't factored that in. Does the 429 get more MPG or is it not really noticeable?
@EldoradoGeorgeАй бұрын
The issue to be cognizant of is not MPG,... it is related to the engine block design whereby the 1966 429ci engine has a cast pot metal timing cover that is problematic arising from the anodic cathodic reaction from the dissimilar metal faces touching that react when exposed to the solvent of the coolant that in-turn erodes the timing cover destroying the seal integrity. Additionally the 429ci timing cover also has an integral oil pump as part of the casting that is prone to scaring from the sprocket shaped impellers,... and once scared the timing cover is trash as insufficient oil pressure causes damage to the engine. Finally,... to replace the timing cover in the 429ci is very costly because good units are very hard to find,.. you can wind up spending a lot of money on a replacement timing cover which is not reproduced and only available as used units,... and end up with a trash replacement unit anyway... depending on the supplier / seller you are dealing with. I only sell 429ci timing covers that are near perfect condition, and they are hard to come by,... I've got dozens of poor quality timing covers stacked up in a corner that I would never sell to anyone,... because I don't sell any part to anyone that I wouldn't put in one of my own seven (7) classic Cadillacs. You can view the timing covers on my KZread channel ---> " KYPITSN ELDORADO GEORGE ". I have over 375,000 original vintage Cadillac items from 1959-1978 so if there's anything else you require feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or by calling 727-364-7523
@elementalb3m957Ай бұрын
@EldoradoGeorge Thanks I'm not very knowledgeable about mechanics so if I do buy one I'll consult you if it seems to not be perfect. So does that mean the 472 has far fewer issues and is a far easier car to maintain? The problem is I really like the stacked headlight DeVille convertibles and to me the 66 looks perfect but if it sort of destroys itself like you say then I'm not sure how I'd keep on top of that. It's also the fact that they're convertibles and a mid 60s car was already built when a lot of my favourite songs came out so I could play them in the car and it would fit. My biggest worry now is that I'd make my decisions on what car to buy based on cosmetics like what colour combination it is and then accidentally ruin the car by not maintaining it properly. I'd probably use it quite a lot aswell.
@EldoradoGeorgeАй бұрын
The 472ci is more reliable with higher horsepower and has no timing cover issues. Moreover, the 472 is almost identical to the 500ci 8.2 liter whereby the 500ci has increased stroke with a larger bore but the casting od the backs between the 472ci vs. 500ci are virtually identical Kind Regards George 727-364-7523 eMail [email protected]

How is the fit of these extensions? Most of the ones on the market require significant work for a reasonable appearance when installed.

Hello and thank you for your inquiry. I do not resell the lost cost off-shore filler extensions you have seen elsewhere. The products I provide are substantially more expensive and have perfect fitment.. perfect ! My fillers are not the import product sold on the online forums by 2 Indian Suppliers fabricating them from Fiberglass that have sporadic fitment with uneven wall thickness. I developed my multi-layer aromatic resin fillers using my polymer science background 20 years ago for purposes of restoration of our family collection of Eldorados of which I have seven (7) in my private collection at home.

Hello and thank you for your question pertaining to the E1 Eldorado in-dash light switch. Be advised that 1967 is unique and a 1 year design as is also 1968...both of which have support for the Vacuum Actuated "Hide-a-Way Headlamp Door Covers". Conversely the 1969-1970 Eldordao is a 2 year design that has NO Support for this feature function. If you are contemplating the possibility of augmenting a 1969-1970 Eldorado with the Hide-a-Way Headlamp cover design you will need the Headlamp DoorCover mechanism from the front clip of a 1967-1968 Eldorado as well as Vaccum Tank as well as the 1967 or 1968 In-Dash Light Switch with the Integrated Vacuum Actuation ,... as well as the Actuator Push-Rod Canisters...

Hello Keegan, I was shocked when this occurred. These young folks today seem to be disinterested in following their employer's rules governing their work practices. There is a clear prohibition of drivers entering onto a private driveway for liability and other reasons, this is not limited to just Amazon but also UPS, DHL as well as FedEx and even the US Post Office - Having said all that my conclusion is that Modern Corporate America has no oversight on contractor employees an overall absence of oversight on favor of increased profits. If Amazon subs out delivery to low cost independent contractors,... who in-turn hire the lowest cost employee they can find and provide little to no training all for the sake of profit,.. then this is the result !

The problem is I really like the stacked headlight DeVille convertibles and to me the 66 looks perfect but if it sort of destroys itself like you say then I'm not sure how I'd keep on top of that. It's also the fact that they're convertibles and a mid 60s car was already built when a lot of my favourite songs came out so I could play them in the car and it would fit. My biggest worry now is that I'd make my decisions on what car to buy based on cosmetics like what colour combination it is and then accidentally ruin the car by not maintaining it properly. I'd probably use it quite a lot aswell.
The 472ci is more reliable with higher horsepower and has no timing cover issues. Moreover, the 472 is almost identical to the 500ci 8.2 liter whereby the 500ci has increased stroke with a larger bore but the casting od the backs between the 472ci vs. 500ci are virtually identical Kind Regards George 727-364-7523 eMail [email protected]

Hello sir, what a buettey! Im intrested to know if this sexy beast is still avelobel for seal? Please let me know
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
How is the fit of these extensions? Most of the ones on the market require significant work for a reasonable appearance when installed. Are these manufactured in house or are you simply acting as a reseller? It seems like even though there are many folks selling extensions, there aren’t many manufacturers.
Hello and thank you for your inquiry. I do not resell the lost cost off-shore filler extensions you have seen elsewhere. The products I provide are substantially more expensive and have perfect fitment.. perfect ! My fillers are not the import product sold on the online forums by 2 Indian Suppliers fabricating them from Fiberglass that have sporadic fitment with uneven wall thickness. I developed my multi-layer aromatic resin fillers using my polymer science background 20 years ago for purposes of restoration of our family collection of Eldorados of which I have seven (7) in my private collection at home.

i got a question. is this light switch the same as the one used in the 1969 and 1970 eldorado? like is the vacuum mechanics still there for the hide-a-way headlights?
Hello and thank you for your question pertaining to the E1 Eldorado in-dash light switch. Be advised that 1967 is unique and a 1 year design as is also 1968...both of which have support for the Vacuum Actuated "Hide-a-Way Headlamp Door Covers". Conversely the 1969-1970 Eldordao is a 2 year design that has NO Support for this feature function. If you are contemplating the possibility of augmenting a 1969-1970 Eldorado with the Hide-a-Way Headlamp cover design you will need the Headlamp DoorCover mechanism from the front clip of a 1967-1968 Eldorado as well as Vaccum Tank as well as the 1967 or 1968 In-Dash Light Switch with the Integrated Vacuum Actuation ,... as well as the Actuator Push-Rod Canisters... I have all these parts in my inventory of 75,000 original vintage 1967-1978 Cadillac Eldorado parts. Moreover I have over 375,000 original vintage Cadillac items overall from 1959-1976 so if there is anything you require feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or by phone to 727-364-7523 Kind Regards George

Is this job possibile without pulling the engine out ? I have a 1978 Eldorado with 28.000miles with no problems, but still i would like to replace the timing set to prevent any future damage due to the nylon covering degradation
Yes, the timing chain assembly can be swapped without extracting the engine from the engine bay,... however if the thrust bearings have been excessively worn, then the engine is pulled, and an overhaul.rebuild.woll be required.
Whats wrong with this guy 😂
Hello Keegan, I was shocked when this occurred. These young folks today seem to be disinterested in following their employer's rules governing their work practices. There is a clear prohibition of drivers entering onto a private driveway for liability and other reasons, this is not limited to just Amazon but also UPS, DHL as well as FedEx and even the US Post Office - Having said all that my conclusion is that Modern Corporate America has no oversight on contractor employees an overall absence of oversight on favor of increased profits. If Amazon subs out delivery to low cost independent contractors,... who in-turn hire the lowest cost employee they can find and provide little to no training all for the sake of profit,.. then this is the result !
wow
Hello Rusty,... wow is right people don't realize how incredibly heavy these Amazon Electric vehicles are and the detrimental impact they have on a.brick paver driveway whereby they push-down the bricks and displace them when the drivers turn the wheels of these heavy vehicles causing shifting and misalignment.of the bricks. Unlike a concrete driveway.. a brick paver driveway has bricks that are.placed onto a gravel-sand substrate and are held in.place merely by the tight pattern established when the driveway is constructed.
