i exactly agree with you, i have a seville1979 but i realy realy love Eldoradoes of 1967-76 and also appreciate the guys who understand these ships. Regards...
I am relatively new to this group, and I acquired my '76 Eldorado last June. I have just noticed that my Eldorado does not have the heat duct hose for the...
Personally, I don't think that you will notice a difference in any area, but that flex hose is available in auto parts stores, and off of parts cars. Many...
Brian is right. You should not notice a difference. During warm-up, intake air would pass over the exhaust manifold and then the warmed-up air would continue...
Thanks Brian and Chris for your advice. I actually did notice the flex hose was missing when I was using my shop manual in an effort to solve another problem....
Occasionally I will see something called an armrest pillow on ebay for the mid seventies Eldorado, there is currently one listed. They are described as an...
Yes, they were legitimate options. There was also a "robe" option, which is basically a lap blanket. Some years the two were a single option. AFAIK, they're...
Eldos didn't have rear armrests until about '77 IIRC. I think it was '77, as there were no more convertibles at that point. The top motor & transmission is...
So this is the behemoth. It needs some work, but it seems to run well. Top priorities include some rust repair, a paint job, a new top, and a new carpet....
Hey buddy, how are you. I have a 72 Eldo and the dash light you mention works as mine does. It should come on with the key in the ignition and the door open....
Regarding convertible tops in the Phila area, there are several good top shops that I know of: 1. Williams in Langhorne 2. Gary Maucher in Newtown 3. Willow...
Welcome to the world of Big Eldo-dom! :D As mentioned in another reply: The Engine Temp light _IS_ designed to come on, along with the buzzer, with the door...
Yes, Welcome. I'm sure you will find this group very helpful. Attached is a shot of my '74 Eldo. On a separate note... Does anyone have any tips on replacing...
Steve, Maybe you can put a floor jack under the door to keep it in proper position, mark a line around the hinges where they meet the cowl and the door, and...
If you use a floorjack under the door, you must also have well padded wood placed under a fair amount of the bottom of the door AND also have at least two...
Chris- It's a '73. I hoped that was the way the light was supposed to work, that's how it works on my daily driver, but I was nervous not knowing for sure....
I have seen a special set-up for holding car doors to enable repairs or installing/removing. It is a sort of special cradle that attaches to a hydraulic floor...
I have a 75 eldo convert.would like to put a decent sound system in but i dont want it to ruin interior .Where have people put speakers? Thanks Bill...
There certainly isn't a lot of room without hacking... I found a pair of shallow 6x9 GM "Extended Range" speakers in a later model car at a salvage yard for...
6x9s will fit behind the seat but since they fire into the convertible top boot area, the sound varies a lot depending on the position of the top. I find mine...
I had some higher-end 6x9's I was gonna put behind the seat, but they were too deep / basket was too large without metal cutting. That's why I went looking for...
Yes. The factory 6x9 speakers are mounted behind the rear seat in the well, facing into the well, in the bulkhead behind the rear seatback. You have to remove...
I stumbled on this video on Youtube and thought it was great fun. Although it features the bigger hardtops, there is a blue Eldo convertible in the driveway...
Awwww! That was awesome. I even like the YouTube vid that has the yellow Eldo convertible with a big chunk outta the front. That sucks for him, but it's still...
Just had a look at the Tom Jones clip on Yutube I enjoyed that. Pity there wasnt a link to the clip of the half eaten convertible that Ann mentioned.Nice to...
