What I am trying to do is get a idea of how many miles are on it. If I can track down the previous owner that would help a lot. He would know about how many miles were on it when it smoked. The repair shop got it with the speedo fried so they said they thought it was around 3,000 miles. I think the owner quit paying for the repairs so they didn't finish the job. Then the bank found out where it was and sent there man to pick it up and sell it. My parents had a Olds dealer ship for 35 years so I grew up working on cars. I do mostly electronics repair now so there isn't anything on the car that I can't work on. I have a hoist and all kinds of tools so it is fun for me in my spare time. I went to the dealer I buy parts from today and they are going to see what the can pull up on it. I couldn't wait around today for them to do that as about five minutes after I got there the power went off for the whole town.))) Jerry
