1956 Cadillac Sedan DeVille Fuel Line/Hose Question
I have a question about how the fuel lines are run, and where to get them.
You shouldnt have a problem with using both fuel pumps.as long as your
carbs are in good shape.. I bought a custom carb adapter plate from a Hot
Rod shop in California.. so thats how I was able to put the Holley carb on
the 331 motor.. But you should be good with running the original carbs..
I was having problems with the vapor lock when I was running the original
Rochester carb.. but since switching to a newer carb I have no problem..
But it might be wise to do both is your gonna stay with the original
setup...
Im running a Holley carb on the original 331 Caddy engine with a holley
fuel pump and regulator.. havent had a problem with vapor lock.. But my
buddy is running both electric and manual on his 55 Caddy and hasnt had a
problem either..
+travis hill That is what I have heard as well, put in both manual and electric and then the psi is up so vapor lock is no longer an issue. We will see soon!
Remove the thread nut from fuel line and get some 3/8 copper roll and run
in a fresh one. Old one is junk. Then remove brass fitting from tank. You
will need to flare each end of new tube to take each male Union. Can be
done with some practice first on off cuts. Keep a bowl to hand in case you
leak fuel when filling tank.
And post us some more vids! In restoring same car! This is how I did my
line
Also. I know a good chrome shop in Dallas.. does great work and have good
prices.. If your still looking to get the interior fixed I know a place in
Fort Worth.. that does great work and also great prices.. Im from Dallas
and moved out to West Tx.. But I get my chrome work and interior done in
the Metroplex.. and alot of the classic car guys out here I sent to the
Dallas area to have there done also..
The line is suppose to screw directly into the tank... I have a 55 Cadillac
Fleetwood. I did away with the manual fuel pump and went with a good
electric one.. I can let the car sit for months. Go out and hit the gas
pedal a few times and she start right up...
+travis hill I have heard that it is good to use both electric and manual fuel pumps so that you avoid vapor lock under hot weather

Outboard Motor Water Pump Impeller Replacement Guide.
@ frank I'd jam a hose in the water out to fill it with water so the air
gets out then start it as u would in water then check it as the impeller is
just a water pump it may have a air lock when you put it in the water do
reverse flush it first

im right with you with the fuel economy, ill be getting my first car in 2
years and i would die for one of these monsters; sadly my parents have a
different vision of their version of "cars" every time i show them a
picture of a car like this, the first word that comes out of their mouth
is: "gas guzzler" or "too old" or "too big" and my dad actually said this:
" are you kidding?, i wouldnt be caught DEAD in one of those!!!' well, cars
today dont have character today, they all look the same
@TBird100636 Im having trouble getting the compiling size right.. ugh. I
think ive tried every possible option in the book, and still getting it
wrong. The problem being there are so many different tutorials out there
saying do this this and this.. each being slightly different. Rick has me
trial'ing this setup - being 848x480. Tube says 640x480, but that squishes
it something epic. 1280x720 doesn't appear to work either. *sigh*
Hey Auzzy, was going through some of your videos and watched this one
again. Really like this video. Wish you had made a pumping video to two.
You need to post some new videos with some barefoot cold starts of the old
beaters you all get there in Australia. It's been too long since your last
videos.
hi auzzie. if you ever make it back to the states you have a standing
invitation to visit charlotte, north carolina. I have a huge Cadillac
Brougham thats probably as long as the Yorker. Let me know what you think,
and i enjoyed the videos you made here.
The Cadillac Sixty-Special and Buick Electra 225 were slightly longer than
the Chrysler Imperial/New Yorker/Newport... The Chrysler was less than a
half inch longer than the 76 Olds 98...
Haha you like the Newyorker eh Auzzy? lol. I'm a big fan of them old big
cars myself. Especially if they were old police cars ;) Screw fuel economy!
lol!
