Before I forget, I have to give a BIG THANK YOU to Andrew Olson for helping out. He's the one that stumbled on the loose wire while hunting for a tool to pull/check fuses. He's a helluva guy.

That's right Dave... It was all me . If I hadn't been there with my calibrated eyeballs... well I don't want to even think what would have happened. As for what those wires do? Well, they stop the car from starting - THAT'S FOR SURE!

Great job Dave!!! I know how you feel since I just finished my rebuild and when I turned the key the first time it wouldn't start. Thanks to Andrew's eyes that looked over lake michigan and into my engine bay, I corrected my 180 deg off distributor cap and.....fired right up. Thanks Andrew & congratulations Dave.

Nope...still up with adrenalin shooting through me.

As far as what Dozmen think about this? I don't give a damn.
