    Restoring to original condition, not a chance!

    It is IN original condition, I'm just getting it to run!

    After that I don't know.

    A nice all - weather back up vehicle maybe. It has ZERO body damage external, so maybe a fresh splash of color, no body filler needed.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    More interesting than that, it idles slightly better when the dwell meter is hooked up.
    I understand the challenge to get it running. It would be interesting to understand how that dwell meter plug affected the circuit. I'm not an electronics wizard, so no help but it makes one wonder...

    If you know the needed millivolts to and from the O2 sensor, then add them in ( or take them away) It may be that once it happens the other circuit(s) will react and start working again. It's a thought!
