<VV> Parade Paranoia

Matt, I was heading down the same road myself. It could be at the hrpt, or
maybe the resister wire in the harness has a bad spot.
One day I was doing some adjustments due to a cranky running engine and I
saw a puff of smoke come out of the wire bundle back where the bundle makes
a turn at aft left of the engine compartment, where the resister wire makes
a turn and heads back towards the hrpt staying inside the wrapped bundle,
and the engine quit.
I replaced the harness but removed the resistance wire from the circuit and
added a resister block back by the distributor.
