I made a comment on your first vid of the caddie. The correct battery is about 4 inches wide or so and between 16 and 18 inches long. When i got the battery for my 55 i couldnt beleave thats what it takes. I got mine from pasco batterys. Im not sure if they still stock them it was many years ago
Where in Pa are you? I’m in Pa also. I saw this car on Facebook marketplace. I was thinking of buying it but glad to see you got it. I have 3 1955’s…it’s my favorite year, tho have other years also. At Tractor Supply they have the correct skinny battery needed for the car and Interstate makes one also.
That battery ordeal looks like it definitely sucked! GM sometimes designed things that make you scratch your head and wonder "WTF". But, it's awesome that she fired! BTW - hope your finger feels better!
@@undergroundcreations417 if I may, from experience, clean out the gas tank, replace the corroded metal and brittle fuel lines. Then with fresh gas go around the block. Again, sweet Caddy!
The correct battery hold down parts are available for $15 - on eBay.
Nice work man. That battery though 😮 dang. Happy to hear er come to life. Always an awesome feelinf
Thanks brother! Yes, always a great feeling. Now I know I can move onto next obstacle.
she sounds awesome and i can't believe that everything works what a badass car
Thanks man, I'm definitely stoked about it.
Dual quad Eldo upgrade - very slick.
They made a thinner style battery in '55. Still available, just not at your local auto parts. Antique Auto Battery carries it.
I got one thankfully at my local Napa.
@@undergroundcreations417 my napa guys are helpful and at least don't laugh at me while I am there....

FYI: rear carb doesn't open until about 3/4 throttle.

I'm right outside of Altoona. Thank you! I'm going to do my best with her.
@@undergroundcreations417 oh cool, I’m central Pa. Can’t wait to see more videos on it!
FWIW, I saw it too and I am in Pittsburgh. I had a 55 CDV years ago but now have a 56 CDV.

Yeah I couldn't believe it was that ridiculous lol. Finger is all good 😆. Thanks brother.
I think fuel pump gasket is leaking by, where the 2 halves of the fuel pump together.
Personally, I’d rather battle the inner fender well. IMHO.
When done mount the new battery in the trunk. 🤘😎
Agreed. That was ridiculous
She sounds like she wants to run down the road!
@@ellwood59 she definitely runs great.

That battery's corrupt! Trump save this battery.

Engines are just women sometimes, you just got to hit them till they work. (sorry dark joke XD)
