P,

OK, OK. I'm a chemical/mechanical (environmental), not electronics.

Here's why I mentioned it at all. A few years back I was playing with some of the mid '70's original Ford ignition pieces. The CR assembly manual had bad poop on wiring this, had me running the distributor pickup coil to ground. The system would work for a while, then quit. Burned out distributor pickup coil. Ford shop manual had correct wiring diagram.

Am sure you ran into this one also. CR assembly manual gives inaccurate info on Lucas wiper motor wiring. Every time motor hits park contact, dead short, blown fuse. Ran separate ground, and park circuit back through a diode.

Sometimes two heads are better than one.
