Just hooked up the light, hopefully to the correct plug on the coil. Since it was suggested to connect to the low power side of the coil, I connected the light to the smaller red wire that comes out of the distributor. That is the low speed coil control according to the factory manual I have...
I will be driving this thing today. I am going to hook up the light to the coil before I go. It has a vacuum gauge on the dash, so I'll keep an eye on that as well.

4. Injector spray...
Thanks for all the tips.

I should have done a comp check when I had the plugs out. I have to jack the thing up, remove the front tires and remove a couple of shields to get to...

I bought a 95 Southwind late last year. It is built on a GM P90 chassis powered by a 454. The first few times out, I...
