According to a local mechanic, it was not the rods, it was the lack of compression that made it sound like the rods were out. It was an 79 LTD that I bought for $ 100 and sold it for $ 600. Maybe you will be as lucky as I was. Just a thought.

Well the plugs are out from the dealership- oil looks DIIIIRTY! May give that a shot though. Easy like pie to put the plugs back in and see if she fires up. THANKS for the tip. I'll let ya know if she starts up!!

Brojer: No bar setting my friend.. I took the day off from contracting today.. but seized on the op to make some cash in another way.. I don't sit still well!
