Compression ratio 10.5 to 1. PISTONS: Aluminum alloy, slipper type to reduce friction surface and permit nesting between crankshaft counterweights. Two compression rings, one oil ring with expander; top compression ring chrome-plated to minimize wear on cylinder walls. Recessed contour in piston head increases turbulence for fast, complete burning of fuel-air mixture. CARBURETOR: Four-barrel downdraft with equalized manifolding; mechanical fuel pump; dry type air filter; automatic choke. LUBRICATION: Full pressure. Full-flow oil filter standard. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: 12-volt, 13-plate battery. High capacity 42 Amp. generator (now 55 Amp. on air cond. cars and Seventy-Five Series). Gasoline Tank Capacity: 26 gallons. HYDRA-MATIC DRIVE: Fully automtic, step-gear type. Controlled fluid coupling on forward gear set for smoother shifts. Provides two Drive Ranges, Low Range and Reverse. TURBO HYDRA-MATIC: Fully automatic, torque converter type. Converter multiples engine torque for increased driving thrust at rear wheels during acceleration in any gear (low, intermediate or high) REAR AXLE: Hypoid. Differential housing offset to provide straight-line drive. Ratio is 2.94 with an optional 3.21 axle available. The 3.21 axle is provides on air-conditioned models. On Series Seventy-Five models, ratio is 3.36 with 3.77 optional. The controlled differential, optional at extra cost, directs power to rar wheel having better traction. FRONT SUSPENSION: Four-link drive. Rear springs are helical-coil type. Rubber bushings for quieter, softer ride. BRAKES: Cadillac Power Brakes with self-adjusting shoes; finned front and rear drums. Split hydraulic master cylinder provides independent piston and fluid reservoir for front and rear brakes, assuring one set working in the event of failure of either set. Effective brake lining area, 221.8 sq. in., 233.72 sq. in. on Series Seventy-Five models. PARKING BRAKE: Serves as true auxiliary brake since it will not lock in position with engine running and car in gear. STEERING: Cadillac Power Steering standard equipment. Overall steering ratio of 18.2 to 1 and 38½° turning angle for fast response and short turning diameter. FRAME: Cadillac tubular-center X frame provides exceptional torsional rigidity; permits a low front floor contributing to comfortable seat height and head room. TIRES: Low-pressure, 4-ply, tubeless. Size-8.00 x 15 (Series Seventy-Five; 6-ply, size 8.20 x15). White sidewall tires∗, size 8.20 x 15, optinal at extra cost. CORNERING LIGHTS (Standard Equipment): On the side of front fenders, to rear of parking lights, activated by directional signal switch when headlamp switch is on. Projects a powerful beam of light, perpendicular to the side of the car, thus illuminating roadside and road signs for extra safety in turning corners at night. TREAD: Front and rear, 61″ WHEELBASE: 129.5″ (Series Seventy-Five, 149.75″). OVERALL LENGTH: 223.5″ (Series Seventy-Five, 243.8″). ∗Standard on Eldorado |
