dang!! thanks Stoo!
I've had a buddys truck here for awhile waiting for me to detail out some bugs from the "pros" who did the mechanical and electrical [and body/glass!] - one problem is the thing [350/350] runs on unless a wire's pulled off the ign sw - something's been niggling at the back of my pea brain saying it ain't a bad switch like buddy thinks, but I haven't had time to think about it .... this twigs me that the mechanic picked an alternator that didn't match the generic "painless" harness! easy fix on that problem
