  1. From the Installation Guide: file:///Users/tim/Downloads/MN-1002.pdf
  2. https://www.airliftcompany.com/products/air-springs/air-lift-1000/
  3. Yes, that's partly why I asked. I just wanted to be sure I understood how Mark made his. I have seen some that was installed with a metal or fiber backer that received the tacks and/or staples.
  4. The top looks great! Is there any sort of 'spine' or backing applied in the area where the tacks are installed to the hidem, or is it just the Stayfast material?
  5. The block-off plates can be used for tuning the center carburetor, which the engine uses exclusively until the end carbs are called for.
  6. I might have something. I'll have to check...
  7. What does the Ohm meter say on wire numbers 1 and 7?
  8. Here's the Cadillac cross-reference information from the thread Bernie posted above:
  9. Is it really the width that you prefer, or is it the yellowed color...?
  10. Must be on the 'naughty list'...
  11. Yes, but that's precisely why I will probably never do it!
  12. Note that the chart referenced above is based on the output of an Excel-based model. As such, the chart should be taken with a grain of salt. Different input assumptions and constraints can produce a different result.
  13. OBD-2 started with the 1996 model year. I have done the 'workaround' diagnostic by shorting the two pins (A & B ) on the ALDL connector and counting the Check Engine flashes. It's not fancy, but does the job at zero cost.
  14. I keep thinking that a fitted leather cover would look nice on the wheel rim of my '67, but that skinny plastic rim just feels so "1960s" that I can't bring myself to do it...
  15. Pictures! Where did you find it?
  16. How friendly are you with your local auto parts store counter guy?
  17. Bill Mitchell's "Sheer Look" captured in these Eldorados as sheer elegance!
  18. Agree! Slightly off-topic, but here's my personal wish-list rankings for the other two GM E-bodies: Riviera: '67, '66, '68/69 (tie) Toronado: '66, '68, '67 All need to be sans vinyl roof. So far I have the Riviera, but need to build that garage addition before tackling the other two...
  19. I think the 472 lifts the '68 above the otherwise very similar '67 for me. '68 also included front disc brakes as standard equipment. I really like the hidden headlights on these, so the '69 model takes the 3rd-place slot on my Eldorado wish list...
  20. My mother used to say that if your nose runs and your feet smell, you're built upside-down.
  21. I had a '67 Lincoln Continental with 100K miles that would pause 3~5 seconds before engaging reverse. I mentioned the problem to an older transmission guy who poured 2 or 3 ounces of brake fluid into the transmission. As i recall, the problem was gone the next day and the transmission functioned perfectly. That small amount of brake fluid was enough to swell the leaky seals.
