Put the radiator back in place. Had to lower a little to remove the HVAC box. Myself and other Caddy converts have raised the rad. Mines a 1/2" higher. Hooked the heater hoses together. Put the carb back on. Had to plug the vac hose going to the ac box of course. Filled with a-freeze. Hooked up the oil pressure gauge. Turned the key,,,,and,,,almost nuthin. Barely 1/2 a turn of the crank. Went for the switch,,,,its not there. No dash!!! Got out the charger. Checked the bat. voltage and it was 13v. Hmmmmm. Cann't conect them together. So I swapped the hots. Bingo,,must have a bad battery??? Odd,,,13v bad battery. And I cleaned the connections. Pulled out and drove to the new house. About 5 miles. Ran good, last ran was December. 2 miles to go and I herd an elctic spark/snap and smelled it,,,not good,,,reached down and grabbed the bundle of wires and pulled them away from the metal ground and hit the gas!!! Made it. Backed it into its new home. Sure is nice having a roof over it. NO sun,rain or hail. Life is good. Drove nice. But don't know how fast, how hot,how far and I think it was in drive,,,,,,,but good oil pressure. Life is good,,,,,PL
