I am confused. OP sez Lincoln, but then Hydramatic (which is GM) comes up. Now I'm seeing "mopar". Someone needs to crawl under the car and verify what's actually in there.

Switching pushbutton positions and related wiring is not impossible with OE Twin Ultramatic, but adapting it to the other brands would require a lot more work.

Meanwhile, shouldn't take more than a few minutes to pull plugs, squirt a good amount of ATF in each cylinder, then let it soak and see if it'll turn over. A good spark plug socket will have a hex on the drive end for a wrench (typcially to get behind generator.)
