I got good news an' I got bad news. First, the good news...
Fella stops by the other night at KoKo's and sez he spotted my '94 out in front and figured he could get some help here. He was havin' trouble with a vacuum hose on his Thunderbird at home, couldn't get it to idle worth a flip, just about at his wits end. I asked if it was 4.6 or 3.8 and he answered 3.8..."just like the one outside".
Told him that's a Super Coupe outside and he sez "yeah, that's what I got, a Super Coupe". Asked him where he lived and he sez right around the corner down the street, could I help him out. Said sure, whatcha need? Sez the hose is missin', don't know where it goes, so I lead him over to one of the SC engines in the shop and start to quiz him on where this evil hose is supposed to be at.
He sez "oh no, it ain't got the supercharger on it, it's a regular 3.8". I start to envision one of the LX's I've seen rollin' around with Xenon or Razzi on it but he assures me it's an SC...a '92 to be exact...Pearl White on top of that.
"Picked it up off a dude in Port Arthur, it was runnin' real bad. Changed the headgaskets and it just doesn't wanna smooth out. kinda missin' a little".
I'm still kinda wonderin' what in the world it took to get the n/a installed much less runnin' and he asks if I can drop by and scope it out, I said sure, see ya tomorrow.
Next day I cruise over and he's tinkerin' on it.
Walked up and sure enuff...

The good news...it's a '90 (not '92) and is indeed an SC.
DSO # is 13, a New York car, anybody recognize it?
