The GMRC-03 is designed to be used in Cadillac’s that do not have Onstar or amplified systems. It will retain the warning chimes that are lost when the factory radio is removed. The GMRC-03 will also provide a 12 volt switched accessory wire for proper radio operation. *Note: The GMRC-03 can be used in Cadillac’s that come with a factory amplifier; however the factory amplifier must be bypassed and the speaker wires on the GMRC-03 must not be used. Running new wires to the speakers is recommended. If the Cadillac also has Onstar, that feature will be lost.

STEP 1. Begin by removing the small black trim ring that surrounds the radio. Insert the hook tool behind the upper right corner of the trim ring and pull toward you to loosen the ring. Once the ring is loose, work the remaining three (3) corners of the trim ring loose. Set the trim ring aside. Turn the ignition to the “ON” position and shift the transmission into low gear. Just above the ashtray door, grasp the top section of the bezel that surrounds the transmission shifter and pull toward you to release two (2) clips. Insert the hook tool behind the right rear corner of the bezel just behind the shifter. Pull upward to release one (1) clip. Perform the same action in the left rear corner releasing one (1) more clip. Grasp the rear of the bezel and continue working loose two (2) clips on the left and right sides of the shifter.

EGR SYSTEMS: This manifold will not accept stock EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) equipment. EGR systems are used on some 1972 and later
model vehicles and only in some states. Check local laws for requirements. This manifold is a street legal replacement part when used with the OEM carburetor on 1968-72 472 and 500 c.i.d. V8 passenger cars.
• MANIFOLD: The Performer Cadillac is intended to be used in high performance and engine swap applications. The carb pad is 3″ taller than stock, and will not fit many stock applications. Check your hood clearance before installation! The manifold accepts either original equipment Q-Jet carburetors or Edelbrock Performer Series square-bore carbs as listed below. The runners and plenums are sized for operation from idle to 5500 rpm on 500 c.i.d. engines.
• CARBURETOR RECOMMENDATIONS: CAUTION- Use only carburetors recommended. If parts required for installation are unavailable locally, contact Edelbrock directly.

The 1971-1974 Eldorado is a classic Cadillac that is fast becoming a collectable and appreciat ing automobile. Sadly, even though Cadillac was a trend-setter in introducing wire wheels for their cars, the current Eldorado owner has few choices when it comes to dressing their car up with wire wheels that add to the elegance of the car. Roadster introduced a line of wire wheels that will work on these cars, however, due to the very limited room in the rear wheel wells and close proximity of the fender skirt fastening hardware, the wire wheels require that there be a few changes made to accomodate the wheels. It is our opinion that these changes should be performed by a qualified bodyshop or fabricator so that there is no risk of harming your car. The purpose of these instructions are to demonstrate what modifications will be involved. None of these modifications will spoil or detract from the original appearance of your car. The modifications required are all to areas that cannot be viewed from the outside.

Exhaust System Removal:
For ease of installation and safety concerns, the use of a lift is recommended and be sure to wear safety glasses.
Prior to installation, be sure vehicle is parked on a level surface and the exhaust system is cool.
1) After your vehicle is properly secured and there is enough clearance to work from under the vehicle, the first step is to remove the oxygen sensor located between the catalytic converter and the center muffler – (See Fig. A). Use a 7/8-inch open-end wrench to remove the threaded sensor.
2) The next step is to determine where to cut the connecting pipe between the catalytic converter and center muffler. Using a tape measure, measure from the front edge of the catalytic converter flange (See Fig. C) back 20 INCHES for the STS or 18-1/2 INCHES for the DTS and mark the connecting pipe.
NOTE: Recheck your measurement

Step 1: Remove Factory Air Intake Assembly
Removal of the factory air intake assembly is straightforward. Start by removing the surrounding plastic covers and placing them somewhere out of the way so as not to cause any damage and provide ample working space.
Using basic tools, disconnect the intake from the throttle body, unclip the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and disconnect the breather hose. Remove the factory air filter and air box, revealing an opening to the lower fender wall. This is where your new air filter will be placed in order to draw in cooler air.
