    I own an 84 Eldorado Biarritz convertible with 40,000 original.miles on and I have done a lot of research on these Biarritz convertibles,in 1984 with Cadillac and ASC they produced 3300 of these cars in 1984 and in 1985 they produced 2800 of these fantastic and very rare beautifully designed automobiles.
    Thank you,

    Love it! But the bad reputation of those 4100s is legitimate; I had an '86 Fleetwood coupe with that powerplant. When it was running, it was smooth, quiet, and way more powerful the numbers suggest. A gem. But oh my God, it was a new problem every week with that thing, and it only had about 60K on it when I bought it.

      For some reason I remember the HT-4100 being very powerful in the 85-88 deVilles and Fleetwoods (you could make the front wheels spin) but not so much in the Seville and Eldo. Maybe it was because they were much heavier vehicles?

    It was as called HT 4100. HT stood for high torque. But the HT was nicknamed Hand Tightened BY GM mechanics because every bolt became loose over time.

    • @TeeroyHammermill

    If you add a dual exhaust to the 4.1, you'll actually lessen the horsepower.
    Also, the rumble mufflers are the worst thing to put on a Biaritz.
