Not satisfied to rest on their achievements, Cadillac "kicked things up a notch" in the engine department. All of the 1956 Cadillac Series rolled-out with 365 cubic inch engines. This 90 degree overhead valve V-8 engine had a 9.75 to 1 compression ratio. In basic trim, it cranked out 285 horsepower at 4600 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a whopping 400 foot pounds of torque at 2800 rpm. It's hard to believe that wouldn't be enough, but when that same basic engine was equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors and a special intake manifold, those numbers jumped to 305 horsepower at 4600 rpm. With this guide, you'll be armed with the knowledge necessary for everything from a simple tune-up to a major overhaul.

This comprehensive guide is packed with step by step instructions to walk you through all of the service procedures associated with these stylish automobiles. In addition, it is loaded with a huge number and variety of visual aids such as charts, diagrams, cut-away drawings, black and white photos and illustrations. Together, you'll have the information and confidence needed to get (and keep) your classic going strong.
