This 1961 Cadillac Shop Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop manual, which was written and first published by the experts at Cadillac Motor Car Division. When you're ready to get to work on your 1961 Cadillac, the first tool you'll want in your hands is this service manual. It covers such areas as: lubrication service, frame, suspension, steering, Hydra-Matic transmission, rear axle, brakes, engine, fuel, exhaust, engine cooling, electrical, sheet metal, accessories and body. It includes wiring diagrams.

In 1961, Cadillac continued to refine the look of their line-up. This model year the tail fins, which had become monstrous in 1959, were once-again trimmed-down. The bold extravagances of the 50s were lessening, and the cars were becoming more elegant. The style was there, and power wasn't a problem either. All 1961 Cadillac cars used the 390 cubic inch, overhead valve, 90 degree V-8 with a 10.5 to 1 compression ratio. These boulevard bruisers put out a respectable 325 horsepower at 4800 revolutions per minute (rpm) along with a peak torque figure of 430 foot pounds at 3100 rpm. Fortunately, all of the specs and service information for this power plant are available in this manual. Whether you're looking to perform a tune-up, or a major overhaul, when you use this guide, the information you need is right at your finger tips. The sections are just as detailed for the accessories, such as the heating system, air conditioner, cruise control, fog lamps, Guide-Matic, radio and antenna.

You can easily see why this manual comes in at a healthy 544 pages. Well-written text is used throughout this book. It's accompanied by a tremendous number of visual aids such as: tables, charts, cut-away drawings, black and white photos and illustrations. All together, these instructions and visual tools will help to give you the confidence to complete your Caddy projects efficiently and correctly.
