With the help of one of my mechanics at work, he got the running lights an brake lights working. I am in his debt ! Turns out the headlight switch was bad. The brake lights didnt work because the wiring in the rear was bad. A PO had spliced in wiring for a tralier and it was a mess. All is better now.
I did run into trouble driving it today. After work I took it for an emissions test. It Failed ! Oh well. Easy to remedy. What stunk is it stalled at a stoplight on the way home. It was 105deg out at the time. It had plenty of coolant. I think it may be 2 thangs. 1. It could be I need to advance the timing a few degrees. 2. It also may have been vapor lock. I have tomorow off so I got thangs to check into !
