    Drop the H pipe down and see if it makes any difference in performance.
    Yes it will be loud as all hell, but is a quick and dirty way to check Cadillac convertors.

    Thanks for the tip bro. Was gonna run a vacuum test first see what that shows. It has all the symptoms but dropping the H pipe will tell us for sure. If they're clogged I bet somebody will steal them then I'll have to get pipes put in Dangit!

    Yeah but this thing is fine at part throttle, floor it and it goes down to about 50 horsepower. No codes. We had this problem with a couple cars in the past. I'll be shocked if it's not the cats.

    I bought this car also on Friday...The owner has a shop and is giving it a tune up and adding power steering for me. I should be able to get it in a week, or so...

    I just wanted a finished, driving car because of my current situation....I still have my WIP Studebaker.....
