Thanks, Guys --

The wires are installed correctly now- one was crossed.

The 350 came with the car, and I installed some better dress up parts on it.

It has never been started since I got it until now. I was told the motor was rebuilt
many years ago, and it did look like the block had been tanked.

Anyway, I'm still trying to get the thing timed correctly. Thought I had it, it tries to start but just doesn't get there yet.

Thanks,

Jim
