And now for my next trick..err...question(s). 1.) When i was given the car i was not given keys to the ignition. so i decided to run out and get a simple universal ignition starter switch from a local parts store. Will this work ok for the time being? I just need something to let me know if the car will even run. Yes, this should work fine, but genuine switches aren't that hard to find. 2.) If the answer to #1 is yes...now the wiring has me confused. The switch i bought has one post labeled "Starter", one "Ignition", one "Accessory" and one "Battery (+)". What wires go to what? I am guessing that the white and red will go to the Starter since that wire goes to the starter solenoid -> Battery -> and starter motor? then i am unsure about the other wires. there are three white (two of which are together in one connector), and the brown one. When it comes to electrical work in any car i wouldn't know my...well...we all know how the rest of that saying goes. :-) The two white that are together and the brown should both go to your 12v+ lead. The other white (if I recall correctly) goes to the accessory position. 3.) Heater Problem. I think some of the parts that i have are from a 1500 so not everything fits right. According to the books, there should be a nipple in the engine head that the hose from the heater gos onto. I don't have that. What i do have though is the pipe that goes to the back of the engine from the bottom of the water pump has two openings at the end. Then there is also the opeining going through the intake manifold. What goes where? Can i just skip the heater all together and seal off the system some how? If you don't have the fitting coming off the rear top of the cylinder head, you should have a plug there instead. Remove it and fit the heater adapter. This then runs to the heater control valve, which in turn goes to the inlet port on the heater core. Connect one of the openings on the T pipe to the manifold. The other goes to the outlet port of the heater core.
