In 1971, Cadillac experienced a year of huge and exciting changes. Featuring a completely restyled lineup, Cadillac rolled-out an array of vehicles which offered handsomely sculpted new bodies. It wasn't just good looks. These cars were also loaded to the gills with luxury touches and engineering marvels. The Cadillac brand had established itself, over the course of many years, as the "standard of the world". That was undeniably reinforced with the new '71 models.

The 1970s decade was full of major challenges for Detroit automakers, and especially the big cars. New emissions requirements, oil embargoes, rising insurance costs, extra weight from safety equipment, lower compression ratios (due to the switch to unleaded fuel) and other factors definitely made it a decade of constant adjustment. Fortunately, in 1971, most of those hardships were still off in the future.

With a monstrous 472 cubic inch V8 nestled under stylish hoods (which seemed to be as big as a sheet of plywood), these elegant cruisers had more than enough torque for smooth sailing. In many ways, these early 70's models represent Cadillac at its finest. Wonderful crisp styling, loads of luxury, brilliant engineering, they really have it all. When it comes time for you to get and keep your beloved '71 Caddy motoring (floating?) down the road, be sure to turn to the guide which features all of the factory specifications and instructions to get the jobs done completely, accurately and efficiently...this guide!

Did you know that the massive 472 cubic inch engine in 1971 Cadillac models developed a staggering, gross peak torque of 500 foot-pounds at only 2800 revolutions per minute (RPM)?! Keep in mind, that's with only an 8.5 to 1 compression ratio. The Eldorado was equipped with an even bigger, mind-blowing 500 cubic inch engine, which cranked out a gross peak torque rating of 535 foot-pounds at 2800 RPM. No wonder these two and half ton vehicles glided effortlessly down the road. You'd actually know all of the engine specifications and a whole lot more if you owned this book. It takes you through both of these legendary engines in exquisite detail, with enough factory specifications and directions that you might think you'll need a '71 Cadillac-sized trunk to carry it all.

This factory-written shop manual reprint is perfect for service, repairs, restoration and rebuild projects. Clear illustrations and photos show exploded views, as well as component details, plus specifications on engine data, engine torque, carburetion and more.
