Just wondering, I am considering the purchase of a Formal. My thoughts are a 74-78 New Yorker or Newport in the 4 door variety. I would prefer the New Yorker over the Newport because of the seats and most New Yorkers already have the 440 and a tilt wheel. But, my concern with the New Yorker is some of the electrical stuff like the power window motors and the power seats. Although, I like the idea of crank up windows I like the looks of the New Yorker slightly over the Newport as well. The other thing I'm trying to find out is if this platform has a normal amp gauge or a "shunt" style amp gauge? Just wondering what are the common issues with these cars and what are the fixes for these issues? I am considering driving this to work a couple of days a week and using it as a weekend car on occasion as well. Thank you in advance.
