Yipee! At 12:30 this afternoon I started the car for the first time. She
ran great and only a small drip of oil from the transmission drain plug, easy enough to fix.

The wiring checked out with only a couple small problems
- One switch with high resistance which I should have caught
earlier. - Radiator fans run backward, I read the instructions for a
pusher fan and still hooked them up backwards - The heater and panel lamp switches are in upside down
- I “powered up” the car today using a small 12 volt
power supply with a 3 amp fuse. No smoke, no blown fuses!
I’m going through all the devices to make sure power is
being applied where and when it is supposed to be. - I have a copy of the wiring diagram with notes of the
differences in my car and the additions I’ve made. This is
invaluable. - While the harness was on the bench, I identified and labeled all
the connections. Again this really helped during the dash
installation.
