    These quick battery disconnectors are absolute CRAP! I had a classic S class Mercedes with this nonsense. The car went into limpmode twice. Then it ran perfectly for an entire month.
    One late afternoon I went hiking with my family in a forrest mountain and parked the car on a dead end road in the middle of nowhere. It was nearly nighttime when we reached tha car and wanted to drive home. The car would not start at all. We checked the relais, the fuses, the ignition. I thought that battery had died.
    The battery connections looked perfect. It was a miracle that someone of an emergency service knew the place. When he arrived we checked everything again. When he put the booster we could not start it. It turned out, that this stupid adapter was broken. When we removed it and connected the battery directly, it fired right up. Whenever I get a car with this shit, I pull it out and throw it away immediately.

    I got a 6.5 Detroit Diesel from a junk yard a few months ago. I got it cheap because it was seized from rust. I tried ATF, PB Blaster and Marvel Mystery Oil, none of them made a difference. I finally managed to break it free with vinegar from Wal-Mart. I removed the injectors, and one of the injectors I drilled it and tapped it with 1/4 NPT to adapt an air hose. I filled each cylinder with the toughest vinegar from Wally World, like 2 bucks for half a gallon, and then pressurized each cylinder with 100 PSI of shop air until the vinegar would just shoot out the oil pan. When I got to the last cylinder, the piston violently shot to Bottom Dead Center and rotated the crank so. Keep in mind, my junk engine is a push rod engine, so it was easy to seal the valve. I don't know if that Caddy is a push rod engine, or a cam-in-head engine.

    I remember all the little changes they made to this version, the seat controls became the standard GM style ones and the mirror controls moved to the door. I think these got traction control too and the CD cassette combo was one of the first on any car. If it can't live again it will at least help keep other Allantes on the road. I saw a broken down white 89-90 "baby Riviera" on the 836 a few weeks ago and I wondered if it was you. I would have stopped to help but I didn't look like anyone was around.

    Hi Al, you know I always comment if I catch paranormal activity in your videos, this time I see a spirit ITC, a visual spirit manifestation, and it seems quite positive, like the spirit of the Caddy is glad to be purchased by you, because the spirit knows you respect the vehicle and is gonna take very good care of it.
    Try freezing the video at 2:57 and 2:58 - the papers on the passenger seat show a 'face' - perhaps the face of a previous owner (we know Cadillacs are often driven by senior citizens, and are sold as the owners become too old to drive, or simply when they pass away).
    This ITC visual spirit manifestation appears friendly - got a slight smile on its face : )
    Also EVP spirit audio coming from the radio, when listening at 0.25x video speed, saying:
    9:55 'It's here', 9:57 'The spirit energy'.
    I also hear EVP as you try out the horn:
    10:49 'I feel there is good energy in here'.
    Thank you
    The Völve, Asatru shaman of Denmark and the Lands of the North

      @@bigalsbikeandauto Yes, not like when those negative Nature Spirits from the Everglades burned your car down.
      This one seems like a human spirit, a ghost, but not an angry one.
      My credo: 'Respect the ancestors, respect the spirits of Nature and honor the ancient Gods'. No matter which divine aspect we follow; a single or several Gods.
      I recommend reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and those of Carl Jung, as to comprehend the spiritual and the unconscious.

    I'll bet the "cross threaded" spark plug is actually stuck from corrosion and that's the only cylinder with water in it. Might be worth doing a boroscope to get an idea on its condition before completely chalking it up as a loss
