Quirks of 1974 Cadillac:
Starting: After sitting for several days, it is sometimes a little slow to start. Otherwise, it starts right up.
Fuel Gauge: Works, but I don’t trust it. I go by the odometer which works fine.
Passenger Door Lock: When the car was locked for a couple of weeks, the passenger lock would not release. I had to pull it up with pliers. I have not tried it since.
8-Track: Does not work. Looks like it swallowed a tape.
Heater: Does not work well. Fart comes on and blows, but very little heat. Defroster and AC work.
Windshield wipers: They work well, but I installed new blades that have a thick connecting mechanism that sometimes gets caught in the cowl.
Windshield washer: Does not work. Makes noise, but no juice comes out.
