This will probably get me banned permanently from the Alpines lists -
but - Ken
- is the starter turning the right way?

I ran the 'black beauty' Series IV car with a Series V (1725cc) engine
just fine for quite a while - but - as time flies by I don't remember if
I converted everything to negative ground or not. If The Mole can
surface from his mole-hole long enough perhaps he can comment on how
that car is now wired as to positive/negative ground - although he may
have made extensive changes to the whole thing since he took it away.
