The monumental day has arrived

[Chuck R.]

At 8:30 P.M. "Money Pit/Sleeping Tiger" sprang to life just like it had been running all day.

After setting the fast idle so it could break in, I sat back with my celebratory can of beast and just soaked up the magic of the moment.

Just listening to that lopy idle and feeling the instant throttle response was almost euphoric my friends.

One chapter closes and another opens. As soon as the snows receed enough, I'll pull the body out of the storage shed and have at it!!!

Can you see me smiling from there?

What is the car you're working on and do you have any photos to post? You know how much we all like to see progress photos!

Re: First off many thanks to the cool heads

that held my hand through this ordeal. When it came time to turn the key, I had more confidence, had I not had the benefit of the brain trust on this board.

My "No power" to the system issue was nothing more than having the wrong wires jumped out for the neutral safety switch. My wires were a different color than what was depicted on the wiring scimatics.

The (As Bill put it) "No fire in the wire" issue I can't really explain other than I installed a new coil and reset the already properly set points. So I'll "assume" it was a coil issue.

I'll post a picture of the beast in all it's naked glory in a day or two.

I can't stop smiling
