<VV> The big switcheroo

[AeroNed@aol.com]

Well, the big switch is coming to an end. Just a few items remain and then 
the car will be on the road. We still have to install the steering wheel, bleed 
the brakes and adjust the front toe in (new NOS quick steering was installed). 
It should be leaving Group Red status tomorrow.

An interesting thing happened tonight that I thought you might enjoy or learn 
from (I'll bet that many of you will say duh). We went to start the car but 
nothing happened. After a little checking we found there was voltage to the 
ignition switch on the starter circuit but it got lost between the switch and the 
connector to the rear of the car. The fuse box harness was one of the few 
thing that wasn't changed so it was a bit confusing. We were going to swap out 
the purple starter wire from the switch to the connector. Went to the harness 
box (Terry has lots of extra ULTRA parts around) and found the harness we 
needed. It even came out of another powerglide car (a BIG hint). As I followed the 
purple wire, I came to a strange connector between the switch and the 
connector. Terry started to laugh and said that we needed to short across the neutral 
saftey switch connector.

Once that was accomplished, the car started and ran just fine. I learned 
something today, and it only took about an hour.
