Hi all, I am in the process of checking on my brake system in my 53 Cadillac Fleetwood and in the process I had a hell of a time getting my master...
It's not too severe.. I think the fact that it was dark in my garage when I fired it up may have spooked me a little more than it normally would.....
I'll definitely get in there and check those springs for good measure. At first glance everything looked clean but I did not think to check the...
Thanks for the input guys.. like I said it seems to be charging fine and there is definitely no dust cover to be seen. I'll check the old gen and...
Hi all. So I recently woke up my Cadillac from a long winter of sitting. Started up and ran great, but I saw that once the generator started...

Nice thanks for your input. Glad it's running better for you. My brother just picked up a 71 C10. Not perfect but a good New Mexico truck with...
I understand that that's why I originally went with electronic. But if it gets me on the road for now I'm going to do that. Going to call...

I have a 53 Cadillac stock motor and last year I switched it to a Pertronix Electronic ignition.. Ran great for 2 seasons but about a week ago I...
Thanks!
[IMG] I would love to see what this looks like as is but sitting on the ground.. Thanks!
Great news!
Just put the Ignitor II system in my 53 Caddy with the stock 331 and seems great so far. Used the flame thrower coil as recommended and eliminated...
So I think I got the issue squared away. It seems like I was band-aiding the vacuum leak and compensating with carb adjustment. A little tweaking...
Will try tomorrow and let you know how it goes
Amen ^^^^
Some people are just closed minded and think their way is the only way... The WHOLE WORLD went to electronic over points. Just cause that's how...
I did remove the resistor and it is running nicely. Fires up quick and sounds a little healthier too. Thanks Don
That's an interesting set up! Have you tried it?
That was my next move.. Thanks guys
Question, did you eliminate the ballast resistor when you switched to the electronic ignition? I'm running the ignitor II system
Points are great and they worked great for me but just wanted to give this a shot. Glad it's working well for your ride(s)!
To each his own pal. I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work out then I'll go back but any way you cut it it's less maintenance and as long as you...
Hi all. I have a 53 Cadillac with the stock 331. I recently put a pertronix electronic ignition in it and it ran great. Tweaked in the carb and...
