  1. No teeth on the flywheel. 1912 was the first year for the self starter. This would be 1909-11. Need serial number on the motor. Back of frame has been cutoff. FWIW. Charley
  2. Previous owner added a ring gear on the flywheel and a high torque starter. He passed and we bought the car four years ago. It's been finished about two weeks. Just from starting in the garage I noticed the new teeth on the ring gear are wearing. There is .060 from the front of the pinion to the face of the flywheel. Looking in general on Google. The clearance should be no less than .031 and max .062. There are two shims between the front body of the starter about .030 thick and the aluminum block the body bolts to. The starter also came with two flat shims the go between the top of the aluminum mounting block and the bracket the starter bolts to. I didn't use either. Any idea how to correct my problem? Thanks in advance. Charley
  3. Hi Matt Thanks for the well wishes. As far as I know there are no numbers on the frame or identifying marks to date the frame. The 1913 Cadillac had the gas tank mounted under the front seat gravity fed fuel. There was a piece of channel across the back with a casting riveted to it. The rear traverse spring mounted to the casting. The wheelbase was 120". The rear spare tire bracket on most of the 1913 body styles mounter under the cross spring. As per the photo. The rear parallel springs were about 46" long. Cadillac moved the gas tank to the back of the frame in 1914. There was a small hand pump on the dash to pressurize the fuel to the carburetor. After the car started there was a small air pump driven off the camshaft that maintained air pressure in the fuel tank. Cadillac put an extension on the back of the frame with a round bar across that u-bolts held the cross spring on. There is a small casting on each side of the rear to attach the rear spare tire brackets to. One bracket in each rear corner. The springs were about 54" long. The wheelbase stayed the same at 120". 1915 was the first V-8 and Cadillac went to left hand drive. Hope that helps some. Best Charley
