The diagram should be in the engine sticker on the hood good luck hope this helps

thanks for using FixYa.

My Chilton book only shows 1 firing order for Cadillac engines from 1968 to 1974. It is 1-5-6-3-4-2-7-8. The distributor runs clockwise. #1 wire should be between 8 and 9 o'clock,from the front of the car. This should place it over the window used to set the dwell. The odd number cylinders are on the passenger side, front to back and the even ones on the driver's side, front to back. Hope this helps.

tmac2scorpi, The inner tie rods will not make any noise whatsoever. What you need to check is the axle shafts coming out of the transaxle. You can do this by having someone walk along the vehicle as you make extreme right and left turns. You may hear the clicking noise that you mentioned here. Right now you state that you hear the noise at certain speeds so it may be hard to hear it when you are going slower with someone walking with the vehicle. If the noise is there then the axle shaft on that side of the vehicle will have to be replaced. Good luck with this.

Feel the hoses going to heater core, one should be hot and the other warm. If one is cold or both are then heater core is clogged. Make sure heater control valve works and as vacuum to it and or the cable is free.

If your clutch pedal feels normal and has no play, its most likely your syncros assisting that gear. The first thing I would do is inspect to see if you have enough fluids in the transmission. Then I would bleed the clutch slave cylinder and see if that helps or check the clutch pedal wire and see if theres any play. Hope this helps!

you should be able to get all that at the local auto parts store. Good Luck Tim

It could be that you are not getting the correct starter. When installing the starter needs to be tight against the block. If the starter makes a high pitch noise when you start the engine you may need to shim the starter.Did any shims fall out when you removed the starter?

If you haven't had an luck with your local scrap yards, then check out this website; carsandparts.com. This is a magazine that specializes in older and antique cars and has an extensive classified ad section for cars and parts. It is separated by maker so you don't have to browse anything except your car. Hope this helps.

Timing is changed by rotating the distributer.

Your starter solenoid most likely needs to be replaced.

Hello, my name is Israel and I would be glad to help you. I have enclosed a picture that will help you. Good Luck.

Headlight switch bulb:-- The headlight switch will come out of the dash by pulling firmly on it, you may need to twist it slightly, don't be too worried if it seems very resistant to coming out, just pull hard!
Once you have the switch out of the dash, you can disconnect the connector block from the back of the switch by pulling on it.
The next thing to do is to remove the bulb holder from the back of the switch, you will see two small black plastic prongs , the easiest way to do this is to use a long nose pliers and pinch the prongs together, then pull the bulb holder out of the switch.
Pop in the new bulb , reassembly is the reverse of disassembly! if you have a problem getting the bulb holder back in, you may need to pinch the plastic parts around the bulb to ease it in.

Clock and warning light bulbs :-- This is actually very straight-forward, first of all remove the speaker grill from the drivers side, just two small torx screws holding it in. If you look through the windscreen from the outside of the car you can see the various bulb/holders (these come in one piece). Obviously you need to work out which ones you need to replace. The larger ones near the top are the main clock bulbs, and the smaller bulb holders a little lower down are for the various warning lights. To remove these all they need is a quarter turn and they will pop out.

Heating, fan switch, ashtray etc. bulbs:-- There are two possible methods of replacing the bulbs for these components, if you have small hands and are very dextrous the easiest way is to remove the stereo and stereo casing, then feel around for the various bulb holders and replace the bulbs, if like me you think you will find this too awkward, you will need to remove the kickboard/kneeboard, as this will give slightly easier access. To do this follow the steps below:---
First of all remove the lower shroud from the steering wheel, 2 torx screws on either side of the wheel and a large plastic screw that needs a quarter turn on the shroud itself (under the wheel). Next remove the ashtray, then remove the ashtray holder by removing the 4 screws and the centre 10mm bolt , you can now replace the ashtray bulb if required. Once you have the ashtray holder out you will see another larger bolt behind it, you need to remove this also.
You now need to remove the centre console, first of all pull out the rubber between the console and the gearshift, then remove the 2 screws You may also need to remove the 4 screws attaching the plastic console to the carpeted section to ease removal. Once the console is out of the way, you need to remove the kick board. There are just 2 10mm bolts holding this in, you need to lift the bonnet to get at these there is one either side of the engine, right against the bulkhead
Now that you have reasonable access to the bulb holders you should be able to change the bulbs ok, BTW you can also get at the bulb for the 'fasten seatbelts' light from here. Good luck!!
