That option was not available until 1981; you are not missing anything, they were a headache unless disconnected. Once that was disabled, it basically was a regular 6.0 litre 368 cubic inch motor, which was a pretty good one.

I owned a 1980; it was my first ride way back in 1989. I loved the car, it was a terrific first car, better than all my friends' T-birds and Camaros of the mid 80's. I've been hooked on Caddys ever since, owning 7 or 8 more!

Currently I have a 1960 with 49,000 miles on it. Cadillac is the king of American cars, and one of the coolest styles is the 1979-85 Eldorado, which is still in style with class, even in today's world, if you are lucky enough to still own one!!

So as far as some minor issues go, keep fixing them and keep an iconic part of history alive.

Hi, does your 79 Eldorado have a 368 cubic inch engine or is it a 350 Oldsmobile engine?
