      Carbureted? If so it’s probably a Rochester Quadrajet with vacuum secondaries that have fallen out of adjustment. When they fail they open too fast when you step on the gas, or even get stuck entirely open, and you get a “bog” or lean-out stall

      I know a lot about Cadillacs of most generations including the TBI HT engines, DM me if you want help.

      fuel cut issues from taking the corner fast enough for the fuel to all go to one side of the tank?

        I think this is it. I’m going to garage it for the winter because Midwest roads and drop the tank I think there’s hella shit in there.
