Hello all,
500 Cad Exhaust Manifold, Right Side:
Our right side, rear outlet exhaust manifold on our Cad 500 powered GMC Eleganza has cracked and almost broken completely into two pieces.
I am working on a hi-tech tin can/radiator hose clamp fix in an attempt to mitigate the effects of the broken manifold.
A quick search of the forum indicates the right side (passenger side) manifold is common to both rear wheel drive cars and the Eldorados.
Would someone in the know please verify this fact for us? It's only been seven short years and I can't remember for sure which one's which.
We have about 1500 miles to go to get to mom's parts pile to check spares ourselves to make the manifold determination and see if we have a replacement.
If the right side is Eldo only, I'd better start looking now as we head to where we can do the repairs. Any leads or suggestions?
500 Cad Headers, by Cad Co?
Has anyone tried headers for the Cad 500 / GMC?
If so, please tell us how they worked out; fit, performance, cost, who made them, etc?
Thanks so much,
Don & Susan Jeffers
78 Eleganza II
