Hope you get it figured out soon. I can imagine how anxious you are to hear it run. By now I think I'd have been slipping in a point style distributor and hot wiring it just to make some noise while you wait for the wiring diagram. Possibly you know someone who deals in ignition parts?

Thanks Larry, Having a second trans built right now as a spare, also bought a third trans as a "test" unit. I enjoy R&R ing them so much!the third unit is a A999 lock up,2.74 first gear,5 clutch drum...once the current combo is "worked in"would like to experiment with the lock up trans. use the 2.74 low gear to launch and get a better 60 foot time, a micro switch on the shifter, when i hit third gear it would lock up...A B-body small block combo is not real common...as time&finances allow would like to try an aluminum driveshaft, an aluminum third member,alloy lite weight axles,aluminum radiator, glass hood&scoop,as i think this is my last project...an aluminum headed 408 would be great for 2015.... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=102...e=2&theater
