I didn't see any Cadillac's in this database:

The car is sweet otherwise...

I posted some slicks, exhaust stuff, and a posi unit on craigslist:

After rechecking to make sure there was no sticking, I moved the throttle rod to a higher position relative to the throttle blades. This helped a TON! It now seems that I can drive this car pretty much like normal. I still need to have someone look to see that I'm getting full throttle, even though ...

I would think if you can feel the scoring, that maybe you should put a hone to it before you put it all back together, but if it's just something you can see, I wouldn't be too concerned. It looks to me like the cross hatching is still there, even where the scoring appears, and if that's the case, I...

In this case, it's just that the secondaries open RIGHT away. The primaries only open about a quarter of an inch before the secondaries open up. The secondaries open smoothly, but it's hard to drive around at 40mph on a quarter inch of primary, but when you push into the secondaries at all, you're d...

So since it was Thanksgiving, I figured I might as well work on my Cadillac to build up an appetite. So, after I put a spacer on my alternator pulley to help line things up, and replaced the alternator and power steering belts, I got to work on the carburetor a little more. I adjusted the idle and w...

We should hook up for breakfast on Saturday... I'll call you.

This weekend I installed the Holley 850 square bore, center squirt carburetor to replace the 800 spreadbore I had before. Not knowing the history of the carburetor (it was supposedly rebuilt), I was taking a chance making the necessary modifications to make a questionable carburetor work, but what t...

I'm not sure if I took a breath the whole time... That was completely spectacular. As I drove through our development the other night, practicing my drifting technique in a snow storm, and thinking I was pretty good, I see a guy like this to show me what a clown I really am behind the wheel. Damn. -BP

It IS true... bigger is better. Anyone that tells you otherwise has a small one.

With the price of fuel, and my discount at Giant Eagle, I paid $5 for over 15 gallons of 89 octane. All is well in the fuel world for now. This being said, when I get another car in the Spring, I'll still be looking for a car that will be faster than what I'm driving right now (mid 15's or faster), ...

This picture, is apparently what happened to a deer, when a BMW 6 series squared it up at roughly 140 mph... yikes!

1. New Carb So I was close to my 13.7 guesstimation with the 13.81. At the Canton swap meet I picked up a Holley 850 with center squirters. This is a square bore carb that opens all four barrels pretty much at the same time, instead of progressively. With the 3000 stall converter that's in there, I ...

It says $2900 in the title. That car is clean.

I would agree that this year has held a lot of things for me too: 1- My dream of having another garage has finally come true. Five cars under one roof... AWESOME! 2- I'm in the 12's... This time last year I had my first 13 second pass (13.99) in the Caddy, and for about $3000 and a little determinat...
