Incoming order. 3 of the bottom style. Do you take S&H Green Stamps from Yankees?

Crop dusting? 🤠

I went to get the Grand National but thought the seats were crap. Besides, the LeSabre was a "Collectors Edition" 🏆 🏆 🏆 😆

My 1st brand new car. I think $11500? Was pretty happy with it and it's 307

Double cardan joints, each gets lubed in one spot. If you're lucky it will accept some grease. Spin your driveshaft and look at your ujoints, some may have fittings also

Finn: the carrier bearing? Sealed for life. No grease. The cardan joints have a fitting and aftermarket ujoints sometimes them.

I believe that's your slip spline

It's might be that your front is too high. My opinion if you have it up and into the weather strip and it sounds like you do, I would let it be and the high side (front) of the glass may indent the foam of the weatherstripping a little. This should give a bit more tension in the back where you are focusing

Just found these: Here's the old front foam going into the rear seat skins

Bernie I have a huge roll of cotton batting you can have enough for the job for shipping when the time comes. You're not to far from me it's shouldn't be a big bill. Maybe burlap too. I really stuff then for extra support.

I've used the old front foams transferred to the rear. That's when we only had the front buns available. Minor shaving with a cheese grater and it worked fine The funny thing is the opgi listing says 2 sets for front seats and one for the rear. The picture shows two sets of buckets, though.

I've had good luck with Ebay, yard sales, swap meets, occasional horse trading with other hobbyists, craigslist.. no secret suppliers, I just keep scrounging. Like parts and tools, if paint is a BOP color and the price is right I snag it.

If I am understanding correctly Fred, loosen up the rear guide and put the glass in the front channel. Also your vent window might need loosened and tweaked again. If you did the rears the fronts are much easier, at least to me. I think the body manual in this section, particularly, doesn't offer very comprehensive guidance. Finesse, patient persuasion and lots of minor adjustments get them next to perfect.

50 year old Lacquer for a Toronado "Florentine Gold". It's out there, guys..

PM sent

That's the excuse they use to save face. "I would of bought the DeVille but it costs too much to change the oil." The competitor for the Cadillac would of been a Town Car, maybe a Continental. The kids? I don't know.. maybe a couple year old Ford Contour or likely a cheap import. They could be frugal, but those two couples just couldn't afford a new deVille. Car salesmen call them Time Suckers. They suck all your time away from selling your next car.

Factory L5 Bolts 👍 Now there's a testament to the original style fuel pumps. That's 40 YRS grime minimum. Bob, there are detailed diagrams as to how to run the fuel line properly in the Factory Service Manual. If you don't have one yet say so and I will put up a photo. You should take a look at the rear hoses and steel fuel line also. No the tank will not drain, you probably saw most of the gas already. Get your kit from: Then and Now in Weymouth MASS

Frugal is when someone takes their watch battery out at night.

Bernie, very true. The only aspect that leaves me scratching my head: Endless "My mother had one of those but with the 454". Or "I had one of those. What year is it? "

Put me to work 💸 💵 💲 🤑 Send your retainer fee to Mully Motors "Buy low and sell a tiny bit higher".. That's our motto 🤣

They can't take mine. It's an emotional support animal.

Here's a corresponding head. The big hole is coolant. Small hole is oil feed for rocker. The dowels only let the gasket go on one way.
