Exhusting Opinions
I wasn't in any way suggesting blowmasters, just making the point of how different my car sounds with just that extra pipe over the rear. I know absolutely nothing about turbos. What's NA an abbreviation for?- Angry Matt

Exhusting Opinions
I hope this can relate. I have an '81 Cadillac with a '70 472 in it. It had 2.5" pipes from the manifolds to the front of the rear wheels. I have 40 series flowmasters with an h pipe and that's all. I couldn't stand how loud it was. It was great to hammer it next to some ahole in an import, but...- Angry Matt

4.1 Buick/Caddy motor issues
Can I just tee off a manifold or booster vacuum line to hold the efe open? I was hoping it was open without vacuum, not closed. They should have made it the other way around. Maybe I can take the unit out all together? If it just will unbolt and I can bolt the pipe back together I could do that...- Angry Matt

4.1 Buick/Caddy motor issues
Got any suggestions on where to start? Something simple to think about for the future. I've got an '81 coupe deville with a '70 472 in it, I've been working on it for close to 10 years. I don't know if I'm ready for another project. And it doesn't have the EFE plate, it has it on the collector.- Angry Matt

4.1 Buick/Caddy motor issues
I think it's fixed. I got rid of the egr vacuum solenoid and plugged the egr valve. Capped all the lines that aren't being used and it runs WAY better. I think it was that solenoid. It all but crumbled in my hands when I fiddled with it. Here's some pics of the solenoid, I'll get some of the...- Angry Matt

4.1 Buick/Caddy motor issues
Good chance there's no bulb in the check engine light plug. It doesn't come on at start up. The efe is a flap that covers the exhaust? I've been trying to understand it via the shop manual. It recirculates hot air for quicker temp increase when the car's warming up. What's under the carb I can...- Angry Matt

I posted this in the wrong section, I don't mean to repost but I don't know my way around here so I'm copying this here. Just bought an '81 Cadillac with the optional 4.1 252 Buick motor. I've been asking for help on the Caddy forums, but with it not being a common motor in these cars there's...- Angry Matt

My first Buick motor and already problems
Ok, thanks, I'm not up on the lingo for these cars. I tried looking around and that would probably explain why I couldn't find anything as old as mine in this section. I'll try there..- Angry Matt

Just bought an '81 Cadillac with the optional 4.1 252 Buick motor. I've been asking for help on the Caddy forums, but with it not being a common motor in these cars there's not too many Caddy guys with them so I was hoping I could get some help here. The car ran fine for the first two weeks I...- Angry Matt
