Oh yes, I know the type. I own Kansas City Auto Electric and I have had a handful of despicable people try to pull the same crap on me. I too photo document all work before and after.
Even new car service departments are doing that now. I remember when the car dealers and mechanics could be crooked, now it’s the customers. The whole world is upside down.
Thanks for watching. I'm not sure how similar they are, but we have a video of a 1976 neutral safety switch. They are pretty easy for a do-it-yourself project. Otherwise, CPR For Your Car Restoration shop are good people. czcams.com/video/kURiDTeRCds/video.html
@@westofthelakecadillacclub I have an 88 Brougham that I inherited from my late grandfather. He didn't drive it much so I wanted to do some regular maintenance. Anyhow, I replaced the powered antenna and valve cover gaskets. In the process I got a little overzealous when removing the vacuum lines bc I had an official service manual from the dealership. Well, that was a mistake bc that book has everything from door gap measurements to hydraulic flow charts for the inside of the transmission, what it doesn't have however, is a comprehensive diagram of the vacuum lines. I've seen so many people with the same problem but nobody makes a video showing what vacuum lines go to where and what their function is. The car ran beautiful until I unplugged several vacuum lines. Now it will idle smooth at first for a minute or two and then it idles really rough. I was going to take it to a shop but I broke my leg and so I can't work and therefore I can no longer afford to pay a shop to diagnose and repair the problem.
@@westofthelakecadillacclub sorry for the lengthy comment. I just know that several people could benefit from a video that covers the vacuum hose diagram. Specifically for the hoses pertaining to the emissions.
@@skillbillysyndicate2365 That’s a great request and it will probably help a lot of people. Because it’s the heart of winter here in Chicago, I’ll get on that the first time I get a nice enough day to pull the car out. I’ll also check and see if I have a vacuum diagram in my collection. By the way, Mrs. West of the Lake was excited to hear me talk about doing vacuum work until she figured out it was engine vacuum and not the one in the hall closet.🤣
@@westofthelakecadillacclub that's awesome! I've been on all the old Cadillac Forums looking for a diagram but the best anyone can come up with is the same as what's on the sticker under the hood. My 88 is in the background of my video intro if you want to see it. I'm hoping to create some Cadillac content this spring when my leg is healed fully. Thank you so much for the reply and willingness to help.
Thank you for sharing this. You hit the nail on the head 👍
💯💪🏿
Parts for one.
Isn't THAT the truth! Last year I put a radiator in an Eldorado, $275 from an on line parts place. This year $900 for the same part number. CRAZY!

Do you still have the 87 Brougham? If so, can I make a future video request?
Yes, I still have the 87 Brougham. What can I show you?
