When I put my new valve covers on with that same type of alternator, I had to Clock, the alternator which other people had mentioned. That particular style alternator, take off the pulley and the fan and loosen the three bolts. Take them out that hold the front cover on you just have to tap it just enough so you can rotate the front opposite of back to get the right clock position and re-tighten it. You don’t even have to pull it all the way apart because some of those are soldered together the connections and you can’t take it all the way. 15 minute job tops.
From a guy who owns a Fleetwood 75, to you guys, your life has just changed. These cars are incredible. Driving them is amazing, but you have to sit in the back from time to time, and have someone else you trust drive it, so you can enjoy the full experience. Cheers, from New Zealand.
Pro tip a charging alternator will have a magnetic field on the rear bearing. You can test it with a screwdriver lightly touching the back center of the alternator.
Hannah, just because you have an air mattress in a U-haul truck don't make it and air B and B , unless you leave the bank door up You 2 are gonna curupt jayla 🤣
My folks had had a white Limo just like yawls, to haul 6 kids around back in the early 70's. Dad was in the Airforce so it was a Volkswagen Bus for a while till the Limo came around. My older 3 siblings would have mom stop a block from school and let them out, They would not be caught dead in it. We moved to Germany and had it shipped over there, I thought we were PIMPEN!!! LOL
Man , Michigan Adventure is a 15min. drive from my house . Wish I knew you were coming up . I have Grandkids working there . I could of got you some free tickets .
funny how your intro is at the gas station right by my house lol....I know your in southern Indiana but if you guys need anything custom painted let me know..be happy to do it for ya.
Make sure the ground lead isn't just connected to the block, aluminum gets hot and you loose your ground, you'll be replacing more alternators. It's best to keep the ground lead connected to the steel alternator bracket. Great video good looking ole limo, looking forward to see what you do with her.
GM alternators are very easy to clock. Just google it no need to wait My guess is most all your issues are voltage related i have two vehicles with the same motor and have had almost identical issues when the alt fails. Love the cadi!
Hey Cory. To check a Alternator to see if it is Charging. Put a Screwdriver on the rear Bearing of Alternator. It will Magnet to Screwdriver. If it don't. It's Not Charging.
You guys did great only thing i see is you need AAA for those moments when all hell breaks loose..but 10 years from now when you roughed it out is going to put a smile on your face
Probably too late now but the older GM rebuilds or new after market alts had to be clocked or rotated into the correct position. But if not done correctly when the case halves were opened up things inside could jump out of place (mainly the brushes)) Enjoyed the video as always. Cummins12v or 24v that Caddy. Take care folks.
Lesson learned, if you're having car issues and it's still running and not overheating. Keep going till you get to the next town, or at least get to a gas station.
You guys were about an hour and a half south of me and those people were camping in Travers City which is about an hour from me!! If you ever get back to this area say something on Wednesday night so I might have a chance to see you. Glad you made it home safely and that’s another awesome Caddy
Love you guys Haowever we hate Air B and B's Nothing is worse than a bunch of people living in the house next to you don't know.and thay driving through your nabershood like thay just don't care about you are your family.Hope you guys have a good trip.
You did the right thing Cory staying with the gals and the car. Walking around in unformilar neighborhoods is not a wise decision. Good thing you made a call to your Pop's glade you made that call.
The pre OBD2 GM fuel injection you have to disconnect that brown wire to set timing to zero. Once it’s reconnected the computer takes over.awesome car keep up the videos!
Good on you Kory stay with your wife and niece. Get classic car insurance that provides roadside assistance and your roadsides will be less of a drama. Hope the engine miss is the alternator. BTW the "clocking" on alternators is a problem due to unqualified folks assembling alternators to stuff in Oriely and AutoZone boxes. Keep wrenching...
Good afternoon wish I had known yall was in Michigan I could have came and helped yall out when you needed help thanks lonnie's dj service from bad axe mi
While the engine is running, disconnect the battery, if not stays running, the altenator is charging. If it quits, it wasn't charging and running off of the battery only, and will only last so long before the battery is too low to run the ignition and fuel pump (if it's electric pump).
Congratulations on getting the 62. An LS conversion is nice and having fuel injection is a big plus, no offense to the naturally aspirated folks out there. Cory I couldn't agree more with not leaving the girls alone in an area that you are not familiar with, good man! 👍
It was very cool that you had J bird with you when picked up the car. I could not have had a better couple get this car from me, thank you.
We love it !!! We really do appreciate it !! Thank you again !!!
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. May God Bless you all
Easier said than done for some of us unfortunately because sometimes that rain brings massive mudslides with it.

This is why anything over 20 miles my trailer follows me and I can work the bugs out at home 😊

Congratulations on adding another Caddy to the fleet and glad you made it home! We are completely Cadillac free here now. 😂
My kids always tell me “ we don’t need triple A, we have ABR…” 😂😂😂
Hannah, just because you have an air mattress in a U-haul truck don't make it and air B and B , unless you leave the bank door up
You 2 are gonna curupt jayla 🤣
It sure was fun helping you guys glad you made it home
Nothing parties like a rental!!! It’s definitely worth the extra few bucks for insurance 😂😂😂
I always look forward to seeing a new CWC video.

Part of road trips with old stuff. I always have the best encounters broken down. I'm glad Y'all made it home safely, Homies
Great looking Caddy Cory and Hannah KOOL road trip

Awesome 62 love it
Cool Air-Conditioned B & B. Love the CADDY.
Wow!! What a great adventure!!
This car is exceptional. I love it. A Caddy station wagon will only appeal to certain people and most of those are dead.
Hopefully you guys can get the right parts,good luck,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters
Awesome find and you have love old cars 😢😂😂❤❤❤❤
Sweet caddy can't wait to see what you do with it
GM alternators are very easy to clock. Just google it no need to wait
My guess is most all your issues are voltage related i have two vehicles with the same motor and have had almost identical issues when the alt fails. Love the cadi!
I knew someone would say what I was going to say! Lol
Use a wd40 red straw to hold brush springs down….. then pull straw out after reasembley🏁
Send your NEW FRIENDS some T-shirts. ❤️❤️❤️
What A Car! Awesome!
The first thing I would have checked, would’ve been the fuel filter
Hope your trip to Michigan is turning out good . Remember I'm from Mt Morris Michigan Gordon
Hey Cory. To check a Alternator to see if it is Charging. Put a Screwdriver on the rear Bearing of Alternator. It will Magnet to Screwdriver. If it don't. It's Not Charging.
Glad you all made it back ,and made new friends.
Hope you gave the couple that stopped some t-shirts.
That flamed T Bucket was cool. That's what you guys need in your collection.
Wait....a uhaul as a stay-in rental camper??? That's a novel idea 😂🤯
😂 J put up the window while he was talking...
You can take the bolts out of the alternator and clock the two halves where you need the connections to be.
Thanks for the video! You kids sure get into some fixes. That’s one cool limo!✌️
Looked like a good trip none the less.
Checking CWC injoy watching your videos Don't be Dumb hit the Thumb help support them on there journey.
It's awesome that you take your niece along ❤
Love your videos, but for someone that has several tow vehicles and trailers, you guys must love driving them home.
hey Hi again CWC Corey and Hannah from The D MI 😎 and thanks for sharing another great video yo Cool Caddy also thanks for the Mi.Adven😅👍🤩🌞
Welcome to Yankee town nobody stops to offer to help! You guys need to move South.
Welcome to Argos! If I'd known you guys were in town I would of come down to help...
Mighty fine looking orange and white hotrod
That’s one way of doing it 😂😂
AWESOME BUY
You were in South Haven MI my hometown!
Had a older chevy truck that the furl pump was going out. If you gave it gas it wouldn’t accelerate. But still run a max of 30mph
Wish i had seen that you were broke down near Michigan City. I would've let you use my garage and tools. Your channel is great.
Thanks for taking us along.
You guys did great only thing i see is you need AAA for those moments when all hell breaks loose..but 10 years from now when you roughed it out is going to put a smile on your face

Relocked the new alternator.
That car is sweet
Travers city is the last city in the lower part of Michigan. My mom's family have stayed at spider lake,just south of Travers city.
Man, you guys have to change your channel to morbid customs with your funeral fleet lol. Love it
You are the best Uncle Buck.
Lesson learned, if you're having car issues and it's still running and not overheating. Keep going till you get to the next town, or at least get to a gas station.

You never know when your entertaining angels 🙏
Things happen little brother and little sister and little j bird always an adventure with yall very happy that yall made it back safely
Man you're in my back yard!! Grand haven has some great restaurants and is a beautiful place to visit.
I love vintage Cadillacs❤
Love you guys Haowever we hate Air B and B's Nothing is worse than a bunch of people living in the house next to you don't know.and thay driving through your nabershood like thay just don't care about you are your family.Hope you guys have a good trip.
Should have had Oriellys scan the computer while you were there. Would have given you a better idea of what is wrong. I do love the '54 caddy hubcaps.
Your dad is a good man!
You did the right thing Cory staying with the gals and the car. Walking around in unformilar neighborhoods is not a wise decision. Good thing you made a call to your Pop's glade you made that call.
So COOL 😎
The pre OBD2 GM fuel injection you have to disconnect that brown wire to set timing to zero. Once it’s reconnected the computer takes over.awesome car keep up the videos!
My thoughts would be That LT1 and the optispatk under the water pump.
Sweet!!!❤
Dang, we live in Muskegon! Right by Michigan's Adventures
When it rains it pours so do a rain dance lol😂😂😂
I’m not a Macanic but I don’t go anywhere with out some tools
Good on you Kory stay with your wife and niece. Get classic car insurance that provides roadside assistance and your roadsides will be less of a drama. Hope the engine miss is the alternator. BTW the "clocking" on alternators is a problem due to unqualified folks assembling alternators to stuff in Oriely and AutoZone boxes. Keep wrenching...
Awsome Caddie ❤
once again great video
Good afternoon wish I had known yall was in Michigan I could have came and helped yall out when you needed help thanks lonnie's dj service from bad axe mi
something to help you next time you can remove the 4 bolts and reclock the alternator to fit
Traverse City, MI...one of the best places in the United States
Cadillac looks like fun you guys have fun with it you’ll get it figured out quickly
Kool ... we live just a little south of holiday world.
That car is awesome!!
Oh no the Optispark
You can take the four bolts on the alternator off and rotate the back wherever you need it to set without pulling it apart.
Dang, was hoping it was the red Ford truck
That's my wife's truck.
@@jamesmoore6146 I love those old dent sides
@@jamesmoore6146 BTW, you share a name with my primary care doctor. He’s a friend as well. 😂
I sure wished I could have helped you guys. I was only 8 miles from you. I was in Niles Michigan when your facebook messaged you.
Congrats guys ;)
The adventure of old cars being driven home after purchase.
That Caddy looks mint .
While the engine is running, disconnect the battery, if not stays running, the altenator is charging. If it quits, it wasn't charging and running off of the battery only, and will only last so long before the battery is too low to run the ignition and fuel pump (if it's electric pump).
The filter is the first thing you look for in these older vehicles I’d feel comfortable saying that it’s a fuel issue
Cool car
Hi Hannah, Looking Good !! : )
Congratulations on getting the 62. An LS conversion is nice and having fuel injection is a big plus, no offense to the naturally aspirated folks out there. Cory I couldn't agree more with not leaving the girls alone in an area that you are not familiar with, good man! 👍
Now that I think about it, The guy that put the alternator on originally may have turned the back half of the alt to fit his needs.
I had one do that to me,it was the mass air flow sensor that was bad.
I 100% support buying more junk and projects
