Could you have a crack in your intake that you are not possibly aware of ?
Cracks in the intake manifold ( air leaks ) have been somewhat common on our year Cadillacs from time to…"

installed the manifold with the thin metal Felpro Gaskets (MS8931SH1) and guess what?
still sucks air!
absolute waste of time!"

Lower Front End Ball Joints
Posted by Logan Robb on May 11, 2023 at 9:04am 7 Comments 0 Likes

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
