    1:01:13 on the right side of the carb (when looking to the front of the car) you have a vacuum diaphragm actuator, swap it from the carter to the edelbrock (don’t forget the lever) or rebuild the carter and put it back on. You need it for the AC, thats the idle speed up control for when the AC compressor kicks on. Also, regarding the radiator, the AC cadillacs had a better radiator with more cooling capacity than the none AC cadillacs so beware of that, and last but not least, they put a shorter rear end in it, i guess to compensate for the power loss from the AC. Hope this helps but that diaphragm is important ! Its an automatic AC and it all runs on vacuum so if you have a leak its not gonna work, the whole system needs to be there for it to work properly

    Kevin, Angus, everyone involved in the Junkyard Digs channel, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! For three years I had a dream of a very specific American classic. As a European, it's rare to see one on the road and even rarer to see one for sale, but I got it, in part thanks to you guys. Your video of this wonderful red 1976 Oldsmobile 98 made me stop staring at the only car for sale in Europe and instead, just go for it. It arrived here on December 22nd, in all its glory. And it still needs some work, but it drives, steers and brakes like a new car, no, better! I couldn't have dreamed for it to be any better! Many, many thanks, really! If you hadn't bought your Olds back then, I would never have been able to bring myself to buy one. And now... I probably have the most beautiful first car ever!
    I do have a question though. As Big Olds is about to turn 49 years old, there are of course some problems that need to be adressed, one of which is the driver's side rearview mirror being broken. Do you by any chance know where I could source one? I've covered almost every other part I need, but I haven't been able to find any driver's side mirrors, but dozens of passenger side mirrors for whatever reason. XD

Some as a kid when he wasn't deployed, many as an adult, hunting and processing deer, house projects, yard, and shop, including most things with wheels, and several without. Building black powder kits, dog training, and rides.
    He's still here, 74, still working PT because he enjoys it. Coffee place. Perfect for a retired marine.
    Sacrificed my last foot the week we became grandparents. Still wrenching, helps pay for the prosthetic, and start the new journey, learning to walk, Again.

    There's an old Ford LTD sitting in the grass next to a garage in a yard of one of my neighbors. The original owners moved out and new people moved in and I seriously doubt they're ever gonna do anything with it. I don't have the room to mess around with it in my driveway, but I would love to see JYD grab it (I'd stay out of the video, I'm supremely camera shy). I'm in Virginia though, about an hour west of Richmond, so I doubt they'd come all this way just for a broken LTD. It is a rarer version though, V8 automatic 4 door.
    There's actually 2 other vehicles I can think of that have just been sitting there for as long as I've lived here (8+ years now) and the owners might not mind parting with them for cheap/free. There's an old Chevy or Ford stepside that's covered in moss in a driveway, and at another house maybe 8 minutes up the road is a blue Chevy truck half-way in a bush.

    Hands down, this is your best video yet. Ezra talking like grandpa had me in stitches. And boy oh boy, I wish they built land yachts like that in the UK. Please do another one like this again sometime, and get Ezra to drive it.
    By the way, I'll be 60 the end of this year but still remember my granddad talking like that whenever us grand kids were in the car. He'd tell us (my 2 sisters and i) stories about the old days and how we're are better off now. Funny thing is, i tell my kids they have it better these days. Just imagine life without the Internet, and youtube, netflix and amazon's next day delivery. Hell, we had first and second class mail and we got TWO deliveries a day!
    That's enough old talk from me, but once again, thank you for a great video............👍👍👍

    As my first car, I am currently getting his daily that has been sitting 4 years on the road, a 1993 Deville. Love that car, starting the brakes January 10th
    Also I resonate with ezras car buying story so well, my grandmother's name is Cheryl and straight after my papa and her divorced, my papa bought the 65'!

    Great episode! That caddy is gorgeous. Love that dark purple color on there. Back in 1976 my father bought a new cadillac fleetwood brougham. It was a mile long and the most comfortable car I've ever been in. I have lots of great memories of riding in the back and then driving it myself when i got my license in 1981. Ezra was frickin' hysterical at the end. I think he truly appreciates the awesome car he's getting. Hope he gets to enjoy it for years.

That was 54 years ago, Grandpa Ezra. For real. I used it for my senior prom with the muffler gone and it rumbled just like Cheryl. Laura did not seem to mind. So many years ago. I put many miles on it and have great memories of the car. Recently bought a '69 Coupe De Ville. Pristine. Ostrich leather, no kidding.. The video was so entertaining and educational as well. Fun to see a barn car hit the road again. I live outside of Rochester, MN, not that far from Ames and Des Moines. Very familiar territory Thanks!
