Seems kinda strange to put 2 hot wires together but it works fine. 1
wire is hot in the run position only and looses votlage in the start
position. The other wire has no voltage until cranking and goes away
when let off to the run position.
I had to jack up the transmission to tilt the engine forward to get the
distributor in. I still have a little bit of room left with timing
adjusted and everything bolted down.
Thanks
