Heres how it all began
i was out of a car at the time and was having to catch a ride to work all the time. Well my father seen this car in someones driveway just sittin so he found out from the guy that it was for sale for 400.00.... well i made arangements to meet with him and i found out that the car was not really drivable. It had belonged to a older lady that was put in a nursing home (she really loved this car for some reason) well since she didnt need it anymore she sold it to the guy who had it then. Then he told me that it drove fine untill he was on I-95 and it just "lost power", he drove it 30 miles home at 15mph to the floor and parked it. Well thats where it sat for 3years untill i inquired. It had no battery, the gas was seperated, and the tires were cracked and had "flat spots" on the bottom tread. well i put a battery in it to test drive it along with 1 gallon of high test fuel with marvel mystery oil added. unbelievably it cranked right over and idled fine with no miss, it just wouldnt go over 15mph..

Anyways, i purchased it with the impression that it was not a serious problem to fix, i put it in the local shop to get a compression check done and it went like this
3.3L(201cu.in.)I-6 with 39lb.psi/cyl

so i thought the car was just done in for, but the mechanic (a friend) told me to let him try just one more thing....
he cut the caddy out and poof, the car started to run perfectly..

Nice car, looks like you're having fun with it. What's the latest? (hint: V8 swap!)

Me again! They didn't make digital dash for ltd at all, the only person that attempted to do it was ford50only50, and he told me he had it working til he tint the glass and it was dripping liquid tint glue and it fried the protoype he built. Look him up, he might do it again to his car! I'll keep you posted!
