GERALD´S CADILLACS - NEWS1958 ELDORADO CARB REBUILD
05 | 05 | 26 | 11:02 | Filed in: 1958 Cadillac | Restoration
A Troubled Season for the ‘58 Eldorado
I planned to drive my ‘58 Eldorado much more this season. Instead, it left me stranded three times, and every breakdown sent me down a new rabbit hole: a clogged carburetor, a bent linkage rod and a tiny missing prong on the hot idle valve. Luckily, I always had my tools with me.
Here is how it all went down.
Carburetor rebuild!
