    Hey guys...

    Long time no post. I just finished the last step in getting my car finished (besides body work). I just figured out the ignition...which wasn't hard except I had bad wires. I hooked it up and it runs...great...and I don't need a screwdriver to start it either...hehe. I won't be able to post pictures until August 10th or so since no computers have the software I need for my digital camera. I wonder what it will look like with the cowl hood scoop. Thanks for the support guys.

    yeah...hehe...funny story. If you ever look at a 200ci I6 block, there are two sets of bolts, one for the automatic c4, and one for the manual transmission...I was lining up the wrong holes, and just by chance, the light from the sun hit the block just right and I saw the mistake...I was lining up the wrong bolt holes, and at that time I realized I wasted $150...:biglaugh:

    You're in good company.

    Glad you got the wiring problem figured out. i know first hand what kind of shape old wiring can deteriorate too. :mad:

    Good luck with the rest of the project. (y)
