Crank as in the engine turned over or crank as in it started up briefly?

Sounds like you've made some nice progress. It'd be cool to see a 3.8L in a GenIII car since that wasn't a standard engine during the 82-92 years. It might be difficult to put in, but with a little more research it could very well be easier than I think. Enjoy the ride.

Well I took the battery up to autozone after school today and the guy told me it's going to take 6-8 hours for the battery to have a full charge so best case scenario they will call around 9 or 9:30 which is when they close. But I'll problaly get it back tomorrow after school so this weekend should hopefully give me some better progress. Could I get a center console for her? Like from the ac controls all the way back?

Yup...all you have to do is shop around. You can find deals on TGO or eBay. Even on the message board classifides.

Thanks I'll take a look. Another question, The shifter boot is torn up now. So now I have to deal with that. Now that the battery is gone it seems like these little things are adding up. Well I have the weekend to work on her. Hopefully after I get the battery back. What do you guys think if I put in an Optima Yellow Top?
