Oh, OK! My dad used to have one of those, I'll see if he still has one or at least access to one.

Finally the issue I have been dealing with since before DGRR has been resolved and the car is running now and did so for more than one day! The issue was with the trigger sensor connector polarity.

After receiving the harness I got all the wiring back the way I like it, again. A little more tuning and the car should be a reliable driver. Got her all cleaned up this week and ready for the next joy ride

Just have to pass emissions to renew my registration and I'll be able to drive it anywhere.

Congrats!

Did you find this with the O-scope, and was the trigger sensor wiring leads just reversed (+/-)?

No, I couldn't find a grandpa local that had one of these prehistoric machines LOL Yeah, the wires were reversed.

Also, I didn't find this. . . I had no idea what else to inspect and I would have never suspected anything like this to be incorrect so I sent it back to be looked over/repaired.

Zach took the time to pull the harness I had built for him out of the car and ship it back. The root issue was my bad ASSumption that connectors from two different manufacturers would be labeled the same. They weren't. So the two trigger wires on the VR sensor were revered. So after all of the hair pulling the screw up caused Zach, it was a 15 second fix. Lesson learned and hopefully a mistake I won't repeat.

Glad its worked out now. Thanks for the clarification and honesty. Things happen!
