Unfortunately, the horn pad/steering wheel design for 77/78 was not good. If given the opportunity, I would look for a 79 version. They are compatible in...
sorry. youve got to copy and paste the links because as far as i can tell these posts cant contain URL's? so if you wanna see what ive been up to this week...
The suspension air pump on my `78 has packed in. The problem is the exhaust solenoid, which is built into the compressor casting. I dont want to buy a complete...
This one on ebay won't due. As of 1978 the Eldorado got the new compact pump which sits up front on the wheel well. There should be lots of them around. They...
Thanks James, you`ve got it right, thanks also to Honda R/B for looking. When I`ve looked around the scrap yards around Kissimmee, I have been told several...
There are a few guys in Florida who specialize in Cadillac and Eldorado parts. Your pump should be the same as any Cadillac in 77 & 78 (perhaps earlier, as...
Thanks for that Jim, as a matter of fact I have a copy of Hemmings albeit from June. If the advertisers use this publication regularly, I should find someone....
Remember, since 78 was the FIRST year for the new pump in the Eldorado, you can look for one in later GM models. This greatly expands the volume of existing...
Hi Tom: I have a good leveling pump that I pulled from a 78 Biarritz last fall. The car had just come in to one of the local parts yards and I was pulling...
On one of mine it would move slightly and then jam up. Turned out to be that something had jammed under the seat and knocked off one end of a couple of the...
When I opened the door to my 78 Biarritz today (it had been outside in the rain) the "headlight on" buzzer was on and stayed on. I removed it to stop the...
PS, it's not the headlight buzzer as I first thought. It's the key-in-the-ignition buzzer. And I noticed that when I put the key in and press in (without...
Jim, The stop engine temp light is supposed to come on along with the buzzer. That is how the system was designed. I think that your owners manual says this...
The ignition switch just gets sticky from lack of use. Push it in and out a number of times and operate the switch with the key a number of times and it...
Got rear-ended in the Biarritz last evening. Thanks to the bumper "shocks" there was no sheet-metal damage and I was well cushioned yards away. It cracked the...
The ignition switch is supposed to buzz and you will see a temp light with the driver's door open. If it keeps doing that with the key removed, try a micro...
Probably ripped out one of the grounds when the bumper moved in and out. You will see the wires when you take out the fillers. Check my webpage on fillers for...
Thanks for the reply and link, Brian. I pulled the whole bumper on the right side and swapped out the whole light assembly with its attached wiring harness....
I would have to look it up in a manual, but I think there are grounds on the back part of the frame. I hope you figure it out, but usually one side dimmer...
By the way, do you know of anybody making the "bracket" which supports the horizontal rear fillers? You show it pictured with the caption "Below, you will see...
You may need some parts from a parts car. Go on ebay, look for people parting out cars, and send them a question using the ask seller a question link. If...
I was planning changing the horizontal shock connected to the drag link on the front steering assemble. My local Caddy parts dealer and after market dealer do...
I have replaced the damper (shock) before, but it has been awhile. Usually I try NAPA first, then Kanter Auto Products 800-526-1096. If all else fails, USA...
... Replying to Message number 1622. Thanks Stuart, I fitted the pump this morning and it works perfectly. I trust that you received the payment OK. I have...
I have a 1974 Eldorado with 32, 804 original miles. All of a sudden “reverse” is slipping badly or is not working, on level driveway. Forward gears seem...
Jim, Is your linkage sloppy? The first thing I would do is to get underneath and operate the lever by hand to see if there is a simple mechanical issue....
Jim, when I place the shift lever in “reverse” I can feel the car trying to move in reverse. I also tried to place the shift lever on leading and trailing...
Hello, I have a 76 with the original AM/FM radio in it. Whenever I hit the find station bar, it blows the fuse. The radio works ok otherwise. Any suggestions?...
