So I went out and looked at the speedometer to see if it works... it doesn't - don't know why, yet... but while I was out




someone asked where my fire extinguishers were.... all over is the answer, but I'm down one now

got a little toasty

The issue was I had two wires swapped (6 and 8) and it got the passenger side red-hot.... of course, that's the side that has the gas tank right above the muffler (yeah, could have been interesting had I not had a strong impression to fill the tank up earlier in the week)
I will put a shield there too.... but that darkening? didn't hurt the coating or the paint at all, that black came from the muffler hanger lighting on fire.
while I was at it tonight I put the turn-outs on

I'm not sure that's what I want - but it'll work for now...
now is the validation time - I have at least 2 oil leaks that need addressing; both are going to be a pain to fix; I also need to fix an exhaust leak on the driver's side....

Do know how many wires connect to it, for it to work like that it would need +12 and then one connection to go off to the ignition and another to energise the starter.Originally posted by SuperBuickGuy View Post
I don't know, I haven't hooked it up yet. I presume you press once to energize the system the press and hold until started.
Is it just a switch or is it part of unit like this;
