Things that might be important to consider:
-rear mounted distributor
-recessed timing chain
-oil filter on high rear passenger side
-flat across bottom of timing cover

Yeah, it's a Caddy 4100.

It was mounted in a transverse location, that's why the oil filter is at the rear.

I worked at the dealer back in the day.

Boat anchor material.

Wow thanks! From the wiki it looks like they were pretty terrible.

I can't even guess how many I worked on. You name it...it went bad.

Overheating and main bearing knocks were normal routine.
