A '79 Coupe De Ville. At one time I considered the downsized '77 to '80 Cadillacs to be the best Cadillacs ever built, at least up until that point.

How does that new Wilwood master cylinder compare to the original?
On first examination, they look to be very similar in length.The original master cylinder is mounted by two bolts that pass thru the body into the frame. The new unit has side mounting as well as flange mounting provisions. My first task is to see if the new unit can be physically mounted in the same position and will be compatible with the existing stock floor pedals and linkage.

I haven't been just sitting around during the shelter in place.

| Those ceilings didn't seem so high thirty years ago. |
Actually I have been sitting around a lot. I've shared the results of some of my internet searches last week. What I haven't been doing is any work on my cars. I had to move the XJS and XJ6 out of the garage into the street to make room in the garage for all the boxes and items that are being displaced from the house. There are rows and rows of U Haul boxes that were patiently filled by my Wife and myself.

Let's look at some of the gems that I've found on Craigslist.

My Wife frequently asks me why I spend so much time looking at cars on the Net. I tell her that I'm looking to see if anything grabs me. You know, really fills me with the burning desire to own it. Sometimes cars can have that effect. Back in the days when I actually used to buy brand new cars I sometimes felt that way. I know that's the way a lot of us feel. That's how the sales manager can close the deal. We just have to have that car!
