As regards you "miss", Definately make shure you have a good ground on not only the chrome box, but ANYTHING that grounds to the engine bay after paint. My car did fine after assembly, at first. Then, miles from home, it refused to start. After chasing my tail for several weeks, I put a jumper wire from neg batt to solenoid and WALA! Lesson learned, ALWAYS use star washers beween freshly painted surfaces and ANYTHING that requires a ground.
Thanks for the advice. My guy did use those, but when re-mounting the ECU it was put right against the inner fender with no spacer and just screws. I don't think it got good contact, for some reason. Or else the issue was my wires.
Off topic, my car looks like a glorified Hot Wheel, whereas your car looks SINISTER! I like having 15" magnum 500s and redlines, but it almost takes attention away from the car. I hate the stock 67 wheels so not sure what to do there. T
