IT WORKS FOR ME: 8 VOLTS SOLVES THE 6 VOLT STARTING PROBLEMS<br />
By Dick DeVito<br />
After reading the article in the March ‟11 Times on 6 volt battery problems, I thought I‟d share with everyone how I solved the<br />
problem. I put in an 8 volt battery. Everything stays the same. The voltage regulator is re-set to 8.6 volts, which is enough to<br />
do the job. All the bulbs are ok and when I tell her to start it sounds just like a 12 volt system. I had the same problem on a<br />
1948 Lincoln V12 which 8 volts fixed. I‟m sure there will be much controversy, but it works for me. RADSR@PNPCO.COM<br />
DROOPING DRIVER’S DOOR HANDLE REDUX<br />
By Jay Friedman<br />
We‟ve touched upon this problem in past issues of the Times, but there‟s always new information coming to hand. Drooping<br />
door handles, particularly that of the driver‟s door which gets more use, is an annoying problem on ‟48 and ‟49 Cadillacs.<br />
Referring to the photo on the next page of a front latch, it is caused by the door handle‟s square steel shaft that goes inside the<br />
door to enter the square opening in a softer pot metal piece in the latch called the tumbler, indicated by Arrow A.
