Being as how the "Reviving the Cad 500" thread has gotten so long (don't I
know it!!!), it seems appropriate to split it. That should have happened
with "Act II", but they're now so melded it's not possible. Thus, "... Act
III" -- hopefully the LAST one.

As previously reported, on Wednesday, at the Pull-a-Part in Montgomery, AL,
Bill Hutchinson (who lives in Mont.), John Nicholls, and Fred Veenschoten
(who bolh live in NW FL), and I pulled a complete Cad500 from a '72
Eldorado. Only took us 8 hours! Seems I forgot that I'd given my axle nut
socket to my son when I installed the 1-Ton front suspension so having the
3/4" pull handle along didn't help much. That made it seem unlikely we
could pull the transmission with the engine, so we didn't try. Lots of
interference, such as between the engine oil pan and the final drive
ensued. I also didn't take along the "starter wrench" needed to remove the
"don't ever install it" bolt between the FD and transmission, so we
couldn't clear that obstacle. All in all, a rather trying day for everyone
-- but a lot of fun working with good friends on a beautiful day. Most of
them had sense enough to wear hats, so they didn't go home wearing beets on
their shoulders like I did.

Yesterday, on the way to our daughter's home in Stockbridge, GA, SHE and I
stopped in Riverdale, GA (both Atlanta suburbs) and picked up the Cad 500
parts Dave Mumert found for me in Alberta, BC. (Don't make much sense, do
it?) I essentially paid $50 for an old rusty crankshaft. It''s
undoubtedly recoverable despite heavy surface rust -- perhaps even without
turning. The engine had been laying on a dirty concrete floor for a long
time and some parts were at another, no longer accessible, location. So
I'm missing all of the valve train except for the rusty camshaft. I may
not even have the main bearing caps. But the crank's worth more than the
$50.

Monday I'll separate the engine from the transmission and begin the
teardown of either the old engine or the Pull-a-Part one.
