Hey everyone... I recently bought a 1986 L7 (was previously a huge Caddy/Lincoln fan), car's in overall great shape, still starts, runs, and rides very smoothly (with 250k mi). I went and bought the TIS, ETK, ETM, WDS, and whatnot... but I don't have the E23 series available in the TIS. I don't want to get a Haynes or Chilton (covers too many models over a broad range of years... would like a FSM, and model specific book/cd as well), but want to have access to all the service/repair & vacuum diagrams and everything else for my car so I can do the work on my own. Any suggestions on where/what I should get? I'm also looking for body kits (if available) for my car. This is by FAR the smoothest ride I've ever been in, it's responsive, and has a lot of life. Lastly, when time comes to rebuild the engine/replace tranny (whichever is first) I want to replace the automatic with a 5 or 6 speed manual... any suggestions on that one (as well as a good place to get parts - other than the dealer... too pricey there, lol)?

Thanks everyone!

Welcome! All I saw were abbreviations! ... why is abbreviations such a long word?? ... sorry I have no idea about any of those things, but welcome nontheless, good group of people here.
