Re: Caprice Power Difference in Different years

Camshafts changed... and somewhere in there the manufacturers agreed upon a standard was of providing HP numbers. I think the earlier numbers were given with just the motor on a dyno. When it changed, they gave the numbers with all the accessories, alternators, PS pumps, AC etc, mounted to the engine with an exhaust system possibly in place as well.
