I'm Looking For One Right Now

225 that convertable cold jack

I love the original body of the Seville

Any chance you have the links for these parts ? :) I would love to fit a dual exhaust to my 78 seville Best regards from Denmark

How could somebody work with flip-flops on? I could never do it.

I found all new from 1978 still in the package for my V8 chevy for $350 or I can buy a Proform one for $160

76 my favorite😍

Hi mate, my 76 seville's distributor is broken and needs replacement, but the old one can not be taken out easily, even with a lot of force. I wonder if you have had the same experience. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your complete video when you were dismantling and reinstalling the distributor. 👍

Hi Champion, Thanks for your precious videos. I have a 76 seville, its distributor is broken and requires replacement. but the problem is the old one can not be taken out , many tries failed even with so much force. I wonder if you have any advice or idea to share and help to take that out! 👍

Thank you for the very good information. I wonder if you can make a video of cadillac seville 1976-79 regarding the vehicle parts and components and how they work and company maintenance procedures, if a part needs replacement. Cheers

I have a cadillac seville 1976. it's a head turner. absolutely lovely and gorgeous, but It doesn't have a door handle illuminated light feature. Just wondering if that feature comes after 1976!

1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, 1967 Cadillac Eldorado, 1971 Oldsmobile Toronado, 1971 Cadillac Eldorado, 1976 Cadillac Seville, 1979 Oldsmobile Toronado, 1979 Buick Riviera, 1979 Cadillac Eldorado & 1980 Cadillac Seville; GM's wannabe futuristic but still traditionally obsolete & obsoletely American luxury cars.

This was my dream car as a 14 year old kid. Not the Firebird Trans AM or the Camero. Still has clean lines in 2024, with nothing over done.

Wow… working on your car in a carport… It's better than working in a parking lot or on the street but it's still, technically, outdoors. I've been there and done that back in the day, most recently when my fuel pump sprung a leak: ruclips.net/video/OxVu5tDMumw/видео.html Watching you struggle, indeed, reminds me of the first several years I worked on my '74 Chevy Monte Carlo and '68 Cadillac before I ultimately bought a house with an enclosed garage. Like you, I've done my share of improvising and making due with the tools I had. As the years have gone by, I slowly acquired specialty tools here and there, and each time I acquired another one, I asked myself why I didn't get it sooner. It's a little like the Clint Eastwood movie _Grand Torino_ where the Hmong teenager, Thao, asks Walt when he got all the tools in his garage and Walt answers, "I didn't get them all at once, I collected them as I went along." Good on you for your perseverance.

The one thing that will absolutely shorten the life of an automatic transmission is excess heat resulting in burnt fluid and reduced lubricity. That's why I encourage people to install an RV grade auxiliary transmission cooler. I installed one on my car decades ago and my current transmission has 200K+ miles.

I agree with @nemoyuno162, you likely have a failed diode in your alternator. It may help you to understand the role of the alternator light. The alternator doesn't have a permanent magnet in it, it uses an electromagnet. There's a sequence of events that happens in the alternator when you start the car. When the ignition switch is moved to the RUN position, it energizes the stationary windings via the alternator light - current is flowing from the ignition switch through the light to the alternator windings. The dash light lights up because the diodes in the alternator only allow current to flow one direction and behave as a closed circuit. The windings need to be energized in order for the alternator to generate electricity. When the alternator spins above ~1000 RPM, it self-energizes and current tries to flow against the diode which it can't since the diode only allows current to flow one-way, thus the light goes out. Your symptoms are consistent with a bad diode. The easy fix is to rebuild or replace the alternator. I suggest you disconnect the alternator charging wire and use a jumper wire to connect it directly to the battery "+" terminal and unplug the 2-wire plug then test for the parasitic draw.

Who did you order Seville emblem from?

Yes you forgot to say C.B RADIO 😮

Have your replaced at gas tank on a Seville?

Just by looking at the video, I think the oil does not look bad at all! It is still red/pink as it should be. At the end of the tube it looks a little brownish, but this is most likely due to the discoloration of the plastic of your tube. However, most important, you must smell the oil. Best, right on the dipstick. If it smells burnt, this may be an evidence that something is not ok with your tranny. Just for you to know, it is normal that you have some sludge in the pan after all the years of use. I wouldn't even wonder if this is still the oil from the factory.

I don't understand why automatic transmission oil pans do not have a drain plug!

So glad you stopped that leak after so many years! I love the ride-alongs too! If the Seville is fixed, what will we do?

WOW!!! that was unbelievable!!!

I owned 5 sevilles I love them

and if it dosent work check the battery switch with spare one just to be sure . Next step if bouth of this dont work u have + - shorting ( any cable with rust etc can be it)

I had the same problem battery goes dead with car shut off. I found that the plus +12V to the alternator had a 4 ohm resistance and 2 amp drain continual. I will need to take the +12V alternator from accessory, key on. Or buy new Alt.

the egg-crate grille has been a continual/constant element for Cadillacs. Possibly I favor the waterfall grill (starting '77) only because either those were the ones that I had or the influence of the Rolls Royce grille. I think the egg-crate makes it look larger. it's a small element, but definitely changes the look. Bottom line I like them both

If it was that hot ( my formula for celsius to Fahrenheit: actual celsius temp doubled, then add 30), 35 celsius x 2=70+30=100 Fahrenheit I would not have had a clear head myself... and likely could have shorted out battery. Im glad it wasnt worse, I would have expected that to have more severe consequences. I cant focus when im uncomfortable or tired so that wouldn't have been the best day for me to be "wrenching"

What carburetor nozzle size did u use ? 95, 98, 101 ?

I cant get over your patience and display of perseverance!

I think I would have traded the car for another one by this point. haha. On my two older Caddy's (1986 Seville and 1988 Cimarron), I don't have any draws running batteries down. However, I still put a trickle charger on each one about every 30 to 40 days and let them charge overnight.

older/classic car clocks almost NEVER remain operable. My '79 had the clock in the radio (like yours does now) and I had that script in the "clock" area, but the '78 elegante' clock did not work either. its great you identified the problem, and would be great as well if it could be fixed!

its mind boggling how much detective work you've done on this!

i have the memory of a goldfish, did u try a thermal camera on the fusebox. it'll show which circuit has constant current

Awesome video / production

Hi , for American old-timers you need the green anti freeze or ?

Did you use a conical shaped metal gasket for the flare fittings as stated in the service manual? Is that a MUST?

the ECM draws current for about 15 seconds then cuts down does your car have illuminated entry , (delayed interior lights)if so disconnect the relay

Great stuff man! Thank you!

This is Baffling! And frustrating for you I know. You mentioned and checked everything I thought it could be. Cigarette lighter was my first thought. Is there a light under the hood? Glovebox? Trunk? Signal lights on the fenders? Just throwing anything I can think of out there! Can't wait for the next part!

So interesting. Today I went back and "rewatched" this video.....after watching your subsequent videos watching this one again with my acquired knowledge of your journey made watching this video even more interesting. It also illustrated and clarified your current work and endeavors. Nice presentation!

This was the greatest design Cadillac ever had. A luxurious, medium sized car that had the flavor of a Rolls Royce at a somewhat decent price. They should NEVER have changed it, but kept refining it like RR has done over the years. Even a RR today still has the bones and heritage of the originals, yet is modern and stylish, but of course very expensive to say the least. I never owned this body style, only Eldorado's and Sedan De Ville's. Wouldn't mind owning one of these now!

Nice video ! A perfect example of a "suppose to be simple and quick swap of parts", could finally last many more time that you expected at the begnning. Always the same story on classic cars. Very useful video that will help meI will have to change the bushing on my 78 Seville

After my engine manifold got flooded with gasoline when trying to start the car after 2½ years - thank God it did not start and there was no fire, cause I did not notice it immediately - I need to do the job as well. Some questions: - What did you spray through the injectors to clean them? I would go with carb cleaner to spray through and maybe the the noozle soak in some injector cleaner fuel additive. At least that's what I have here right now ... - How much Ohms should the injectors read? 0,25? - Can the injectors take damage when applying 12V constantly? - What's positive/negative on the injector pins? - Any other hints or tips? :) Greetings from Köln!

Check circuits that have power to them all the time. You mentioned vanity mirror. Also power seats, locks, and power mirrors if so equipped.

I walked away (of course I will re-watch video carefully) but I thought there was a "white" wire that was not part of the general wiring harness that signaled the antenna. Later I will explain why I think that is the case (as the source of my belief is weird) if your research came up with a different result I would not argue. However if my faint happens to be correct it might help you narrow down your search.

880MA is a lot
